I think it is wrong, It's murder in the name of selfishness and convenience.
The oddest excuse I hear is "that women have a right with what happens with their bodies", yeah they do especially when had sex with the guy that got them pregnant in the first place. Unfortunately, they were not mature enough to understand the laws of cause and effect and an innocent life has to be extinguished.
I know what I said sounds harsh but, we are talking about the taking of a life here. So if you want the answer to your question of "why abortion" I can give it to you in one word, "selfishness"

Women get abortions because society refuses to help women get through pregnancy when it's a crisis situation. Just read the above answers. People recoil in horror at the thought of a child conceived in rape...never mind the fact that the fetus has just as much of the woman's DNA and she holds all the power to make sure the child is raised to be a good person (either by herself or by adopted parents). People think of abortion as a "get out of jail free card."
FACT of the matter is, women don't opt for abortion because they HAVE a choice. They do it because they think they DON'T have a choice. They are cornered, trapped, and as Frederike Matthews-Greene once wrote, they "choose abortion the way an animal caught in a trap chooses to gnaw off its own leg."
YOU can do something about it, though. You can help women have REAL choices so they aren't cornered into abortion.

My friend had an abortion because her mom said she would not be her free babysitter. My friend was 24 at the time and was having 100% unprotected sex as she does with everyone she is with. She and the guy even stayed together for quite a while afterward. My friend said she couldn't afford the baby if her mom wasn't going to fully support her. Even though she had a job but prefers to spend her money all on herself.
These excuses, honestly, were too much for me. God gave her exactly what she wanted...a mixed baby (she's always talking about wanting her kids to be mixed), yet when she gets it, she kills it. Go figure. Even now after all this she has unprotected sex, no birth control. I'm surprised she's hasn't gotten knocked up again.
P.S. when I mentioned adoption to her she said she thinks adoption would be worse. Uhh...

Obviously, people have abortion when they don't want to have a baby, for one reason or another. I don't think it's up to an individual on the outside looking in, like yourself, to decide why someone else should or should not have their baby. I think it's better to have an abortion than to have an unwanted baby that will not be properly loved or provided for. It's not like we need to have all the babies we can. The world has quite enough people. And a fetus is not equal to a viable person, no matter how many exclamation points you use.

I know you are speaking from hurt and anger, but you need to slow down a moment.
This is an answer from someone who thinks abortion is wrong....
People who are desperate make decisions that are often based on quick solutions. You need to be careful that you do not condemn a person for the decisions they make. You are not their judge.
Yes, I believe that abortion is wrong....no I will not be the one to condemn those who have one. I will fight for the life of a child....but I will not injure others in that fight...either physically or emotionally.

You want a good answer? Because the religious are making it so difficult to learn about and acquire good birth control, that's why. The majority of pro-life groups in this country are also against birth control of any sort. They contribute to it being more difficult and expensive to acquire, and are the cause of young girls in this country not being educated about how to protect themselves from becoming pregnant. The $176 MILLION that our government is spending ANNUALLY on abstinence programs has been a dismal failure, and has been proven to not work. You want to help cut down on abortions? Start being a vocal advocate for birth control and education about birth control.

Because there are many women and their husbands and boyfriends who are so selfish that they kill their child because they can't be bothered to take care of them, and are to greedy to spend money on them.
That said, there are many cases where women are left with little choice because they have sleezy boyfriends who disapear as soon as they find out their girlfriend is pregnant.
Once again, the reason so many men do this is selfishness: they're too selfish, greedy, and lazy to help raise their child or even pay child support.

Well I am sorry that you are so judgemental. It is unfortunate that you cannot learn to accept your aunt for who she is and love her despite her faults. You were not in her place, how do you REALLY know what was going on???? I personally don't like abortion but it is necessary in some circumstances and it isn't my place to judge. Not to mention ppl who have abortions do have to live with that the rest of their lives. How do you know what she is feeling???? I say don't hate. Have your own opinions, discuss them rationaly and don't shove them down other ppls throats. And when all else fails WWJD!!!!!

Watch the movie the cider house rules (or read the book).
Dont EVER badmouth abortion until you get into a position that makes it look like a get out of jail free card. You get pregnant when your 13, you dont need to responsibily of a baby on your hands. An abortion does seem like a nice oppurtunity then.
Im not saying i condone abortion, and i dont think your aunt, from the info your telling me, should have had one, but i dont think you should think bad of people solely because of that.

Abortions are wrong. On any level. I hate to admit it but I have had a couple. I did not know they were wrong at the time but now I do. What a hard lesson and what a heartache. Daily. Something I pray about often. I now find myself single [probably for the rest of my life] and married to the Lord. Not just because of that, but for many reasons. I have grown to experience and know, his ways are the right ways. Even if I don't agree with him.
