Is it ethical to limit abortions to once a lifetime?

I would say no.
Either it's wrong or it's not. If it's not wrong, there's no reason to limit it. If it is wrong, then why the exception?
Interesting idea, though.

If abortion is bad enough to limit its use to once in a lifetime, then why wouldn't you just ban it altogether? If you don't think abortion is wrong, then why would you want to limit its use?
Whichever way you fall in the debate, this suggestion doesn't work. It's a compromise that doesn't especially satisfy either side of the issue. It also doesn't account for the arguments made by both sides.
Pro-lifers believe abortion destroys a human life with rights. Pro-choicers believe abortion is a right of the mother. So, since both sides believe they're protecting rights, it stands to reason that both sides would oppose restricting these rights in some way.

yes and no there are so many things that factor into this in gods eyes it is wrong but the women who get raped they should have this option what if she got raped more than once should she be forced ot keep the second one or well have it anyway and then put it into the system what a scary life. there are so many women that lay down w/o thinking about having a baby and when the time comes they just kill the child i don't think that is right i think you should have a reason to back this up like maybe ur husband beats you or something who wants to bring a child into that. over all women have the choice but they also need to think about what could happen b4 they do the deed. i think it would be hard to put a limit on it there are special circumstances but on the other hand maybe if there was ppl would think so i am not really sure what side of the fence i would be on i am sure that didn't help a lot but its what i think

Well think of it like this. A girl was raped and her parents r severely strict. She got an abortion. It happened again in her lifetime, unfortunately, but the law restricts her from doing so. She argues that its her body and its not her fault. But, the law prohibits her from doing so. As a result she becomes depressed and suicidal. her life goes down the drain. The fact that something like that can happen should be enough to keep restrictions on a medical procedure. At times its necessary at times its not. Doesn't matter though, b/c its a choice and their bodies and their futures on the line. You can't restrict people like that, I don't think that's right even though some people don't think abortions are right. Personally, I vote for freedom to choose.

If you limit abortion to once per lifetime you will cause the death of millions of loved and wanted children and end up keeping unwanted fetuses. http://www.prolifeismurder.com

Each person should have a right to whatever they choose to do. After all, its not government’s money being used on this it’s the patients. We shouldn't judge anyone nor force anyone to have a child if in fact their not capable of taking care of it. The government will end up supporting the child if so (exp. Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, ect.)

It's considered a medical procedure whether one agrees with it or not.
Would it be ethical to limit taking antibiotics to once a year to stop resistant disease from forming?

That would be intersting, but what about an "abortion credit"?
If my wife goes through her life and never has an abortion, but has this "abortion credit", is it transferrable? Could she pass it down to her daughter? Does the son get an "abortion credit"?
At what age does it become valid? Does a woman lose her abortion credit if her husband gets a vasectomy?

I don't believe in abortion as birth control.,However, as a man, I wouldn't have to put myself through an abortion. Therefore,giving advice on abortion is ludicrous.
