Is sex really that important to you that it's worth ending the life of a child before it even has a chance to live?

Hilary - Why should I have compassion for them? Does the baby deserve to die just because the condom ripped? Is it the baby's fault that the woman was raped? Why take it out on the baby instead of the rapist?

Hilary - What kind of logic is that? According to you, if sniper is behind someone, shoots them in the head, and they die instantly does the fact that they didn't see it coming makes it O.K.

Jamester- All I'm saying is that I wouldn't be able to live with myself for killing my own child at any stage of his or her life. I'm not saying that not aborting is an easy decision, just that it's the right one.

Rooster Girl - What's next? Are you going to go on a rampage killing disabled people? Are you that narrow-minded that you think that only "regular" people want to live?

I personally take offense with your attitude in this question. First of all, people aren't sluts just because they are pro-choice. I am pro-choice, and have only been with my husband, I've never had an abortion, am happily married, and have 3 beautiful children.
Secondly, I know a lot of people who are pro-choice that have never had an abortion, and would never even consider it unless it were extreme circumstances.
You have to consider a few things- one being that if you could prevent your child suffering for a few hours or days, would you?
I personally don't think I could ever have an abortion, but I don't think they should be outlawed. Rape is a case in which abortion should be allowed- If you've never been raped, you don't know how it feels, and therefore have no right talking about it- I have, I know exactly what it's like.
Let me also add that I in no way support casual sex, especially unprotected. If that's the case, take care of your kid. Everyone knows what can happen if you have unprotected, casual sex and should take responsibility- abortion is never the answer here, the only options should be raising the child yourself or adoption- there are plenty of people out there who are desperate for a child of their own and will love them no matter what.

i have a different opinion on the topic. as a mother of 1 and another on the way , i couldn't imagine aborting my babies. how ever, i still think it should be a choice. like for women and suffer from conditions in which they or the baby's life is in real danger if the pregnancy progresses, or in the case of rape. i cant say what i would do if i was raped and got pregnant. but no one can say what they would do in that situation. cause me being 24 now would keep the baby, if i was 11, not so sure.
however, i have a VERY big problem with people that are just out having sex and oops! get pregnant and kill it. that is a big problem.
i dont think we will ever ban abortion but i think that repeat-abortion-offenders should have there tubes tied, cut and burnt.

Whoa! Seems like someone needs to CALM DOWN to me. Did you come on here to get a genuine set of answers, or to get into an argument with as many people as you can because you certainly seem as though you've made up your mind before even asking your question. You're actually very argumentative.
What was the point in asking if this was the case?
One of my friends was raped on her way home from working late in her office building one night.
She was 27 at the time, happily married, and had not yet had a child (although she wanted to have them with her husband.) She became pregnant as a result of the rape, but decided to keep her baby, looking at it more as a matter of the baby not being a fault for what this monster did to her.
Her husband was incredibly supportive when she first found out, and said he would be there for her, and raise the child as his own. After all it's one thing being a father but quite another being a dad. He was fantastic to start with-bought all the things the baby would need, was there with my friend at the birth, and was 100% there.
Then as the baby grew up didn't look as much like his mother as everyone had hoped. It put a huge strain on their marriage, as every time her husband looked at her son, he saw his wife's attacker.
They argued, and then eventually just stopped communicating with one another.
They divorced when her son was three, and since then she has said that anybody who had been through the same experience would have her full backing if they decided to abort the baby because it can tear whole lives apart, as well as prevent the victim from getting "closure" on the whole experience.
She still suffers from nightmares about it now. She can't go out alone in the evening as she's scared he'll come back (her attacker was never caught) and she blames herself still for what happened to her.
Remember, the true victim is the WOMAN. Hasn't she been punished enough by being subjected to such a terrifying ordeal without then being punished all over again for aborting a baby she didn't want to have in the first place, and through NO fault of her own at all.
Until you've seen something like this happen to someone close to you, you can't possibly pass judgment on the situation.
So, for this reason, I'd say I was pro-choice in a sense. However, that certainly NOT to say that I think it's ok to have casual sex, get pregnant and then just abort the baby because someone doesn't want to have one. That really is wrong.
Nor would I say it was ok to abort a baby because of a disability on the baby's part.
That's wrong.
I want to ask you another question which leads on from my being pro-choice in the event of a rape baby; does that make me a s l u t?
Ask my partner of 7 years, and the father of my unborn baby if I am. He's the only person I have EVER had ANY sexual contact with. Just because someone is pro-choice, doesn't make them a s l u t.
EDIT: what a surprise; a thumbs down. Looks like my friend was damned if she did and damned if she didn't, and that she should be glad that her friends and family aren't nearly as self-righteous and judgmental as you. PRO CHOICE FOR RAPE VICTIMS-those who have been FORCED into a possible pregnancy. They SHOULD have the right to choose-raising the child of a monster has been the hardest thing my friend has ever done.
It aint easy, that I can tell you for sure. Show some compassion, and a little respect.

Not everyone who has an abortion is a slut! That is a massive generalization.
I have only known one person who has ever had an abortion. She was in her late thirties/early forties, and her husband had a vascetomy, but it didn't work. She became pregnant. She already has two lovely children. The prenatal tests showed severe brain abnormalities, and her placenta was twisted so that there was a very good chance of her bleeding to death when she had the child who would never be able to even walk on its own because it was severly mentally handicapped and deformed. This is a true story, I'm not making this up. This women is my neighbor. I can't tell you how many tears she shed at our house, with my mother and I holding her up. She is even Christian.
Besides, it is just a cluster of cells. If you have an abortion early enough, the baby doesn't even feel pain.
If you pro-life (or as I say, pro-poverty, because most of these children are going to be born into a family of two teen parents (or one teen mother) trying to make enough money to keep herself and her baby alive. Not exactly buying baby einstein. Or perhaps the women didn't want the father to know that she was pregant because he would abuse the baby...) people don't trust women with a choice--how the hell can you trust us with a CHILD?
It isn't like the baby KNEW that it was killed, any more than a zit KNOWS it was popped.
Most of the time girls don't think, "I should have unprotected sex so that I can get pregnant and have an abortion! Whoopie!". The opposite, actually. My mothers best friend is a ob/gyn who performs abortions (She is Jewish, and very active at her Temple). She says that she has never had the same woman come back, and it is mostly young girls when the condom ripped, or who were raped, or they were on the pill. Otherwise an adult women will just accept the baby, or women with severly handicapped children (like mentioned above.)
I cannot find it in my soul to pronounce these desperate women evil murderers.
Show some compassion!

ummm okay first of all, you are a total as s. my best friend was raped two years ago. She's only 13 now, so that means she was 11 when it happened. Pretend you are an 11 year old girl, you were just raped BY YOUR OWN FATHER and then you got pregnant because of that rape. Ummmm, what the *** would you do, huh?!?! Imagine being only 11 years old and having your son or daughter also be your brother or sister. In that kind of case, abortion is PERFECTLY FINE!!!!!! Yes, it's not the baby's fault, but it's not the mother's either!!! It was NOT the mother's choice to be raped and it shouldn't be her responsibility to care for a child when she is so young and unprepared. You should think about those kinds of situations!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, there are some instances in which I could see an abortion, not that I would have one, but could understand the circumstances. However, if it is a pregnancy as the result of a conscentual act, for heaven sake, if you're old enough to do the deed the gees, at least take precautions... if you don't want a baby stop having sex and let the rest of the world who actually want babies to have them and stop taking up welfare, food stamps, and government assistance just because it's there. Otherwise, keep your legs shut and at least act mature instead of trying to cause misery for the rest of the world because you weren't grown up enough to take responsibility for you're own action. Babies are born helpless and therefore blameless.... you can't blame a baby for the deed of the parent.

I know people who have really wanted the child that they had to terminate. It was a life and death choice, they live or both of them die.
My friend loves her 4 children, the youngest was concieved after she aborted the 3rd one, she loved him as well and I know that it was a painful decision for her to make but she couldnt justify both her and the baby dying and leaving 2 children behind.
I dont agree with the people who have multiple abortions just because they cant be bothered using protection but there are some outstanding reasons behind some abortions.

Hey, some of us pro-choice sluts choose to have a ton of kids - even though morons like yourself clearly disapprove of that as well. I have a better question: if you idiots hate abortion so much, why don't you lobby for free health care for all pregnant women, or more government benefits for people who create and care for children? Because nobody really wants to have an abortion, they just don't think they can afford to go through with a pregnancy, either emotionally, financially, or physically. If you could help somebody with some of that, instead of being a judgmental weirdo, then you might actually reduce the number of abortions in this country. But you are just another who'd rather call a desperate woman a slu t instead of pulling out your wallet and actually helping somebody. Put up or shut up.

it's not just the females fault. Guys contribute to the growing pro-choiceness too. A lot of guys are even the ones who bring up the subject of abortion in the first place because they can't deal with the fact of being a Father due to not wanting to own up to their own mistakes.
I myself am 31 wks pregnant, married to the man that I've been in love with since 1999 and I could never ever think of harming a precious little life. I know that even though the delivery will probably be painful as hell, it will all be worth it when I get to hold my little one. :)

It's pretty cool that you are so judgmental!! Guess you know everyone situation too, huh? So your telling me you;ve never had to make a tough decision. Well, think of that time and think about what you decided. OK, now I'm judging you. I think your an idiot for choosing what you did, not just an idiot, but a bad person. For you to chose what you did you always have and always will be a bad person. Don't you understand the choice you made effected others too?? Every decision every person makes EVERYDAY effects someone else. If your dad raped you and your child was going to be severely handicapped, with no father, your 13, your mother is dead, and you have no family BUT your father, your gonna do what?? Any ideas smart guy. Your not perfect and your defiantly NOT God, so stop trying to act like it. ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE US!!!!!!!!!! The rest is none of your business!!! So mind your own and spend a little time contemplating how God will judge you for spending all the time he gave you on this earth judging others instead of making a positive difference!!! Like feeding the homeless, or going to med school to cure AIDS or donating a kidney or something better than standing on you soap box and preaching hate.
