A child unborn or not has the right to live.
Edit: I am shocked. SHOCKED. That my answer got down-voted so many times.
Just shows what feminists are really about. And it aint children's rights.

I am shocked by the number of 'right to choose' comments on here. I am not an anti-abortion nut or anything, but I hate the fact that these days it appears more and more to be used as a form of contraception.
I know each individual situation has it's own extenuating circumstances, but I really think they should stop some woman who repeatedly go back for them. I know of a woman that has had three (there may be more), and I think it is outrageous. She should have been sterilised the last time. At the end of the day, it is a horrific thing if you really think about what it is, and women and men need to be educated more on just how awful a procedure it can be, what it can do, and what happens mentally to you , after you have had one. It is not a decision that should be made lightly.

Yeah, so true.
I'm both pro-life and pro-choice(in dire emergency) and honestly believe there is a better answer to the 4000 abortions taking place on a daily basis in the U.S and as many as 80,000 each year in Australia. Problem is with pro-choice is that abortion is seen as the first choice of contraceptive. Partial government funding of abortions need to stop and more funds directed into sex education for teens and money towards pre-natal care and helping girls and women have more options so they are not stuck between a rock and a hard place.

There are some men that advocate abortion. Have you done anything to help your fellow women and men with the issue?
Abortion is a very difficult decision for any woman. I have never had one and I wouldn't but who am I to even try to make that decision for someone else.

Duh. Yes they have been born and have seen the way children live and are treated by mothers who knew from the get go they had no business having a child, the overpopulated juvenile homes, the children being adopted from over seas and leaving the children in their own country in institutions because they were born to woman who couldnt, wouldnt take care of them...and the children ripped from thier homes everyday to live with strangers who take in foster kids for the money and dont treat them much better than thier biological parents. Open your eyes. For or against abortion is all a matter of opinion. Nobody said either opinion is the right legal or ethical set in stone law. Just opinions. Everyone is entitled to thier opinion, state it if you must but why argue a mute point.

Actually, I wouldn't have been born (or even conceived) if my mother HADN'T had an abortion 10 years before I was born. Just an FYI for all those "your mom was pro-life!" or "but you were born!!!" arguments.

Ooh, hey, I'm in a unique position to answer this question. Not because I wasn't born, but because, in many ways, I really think my mother should have aborted me. No, no, I'm not suicidal. I quite like my life, and I really don't want to die or to never have existed. My mom and I get along great, and her life is much better than it was.
However, she got pregnant with me by an @sshole she was engaged to. She was only 19. My dad ended up abandoning her for another woman. My grandparents later kicked my mother out of their house for reasons both completely stupid and completely unrelated to me. My mother was on welfare for years, struggling just to get up to lower middle class. She only had a high school education, although she was quite intelligent. My father was really, really bad about paying child support (my mom just got all she was owed in the past couple of years, and I'm 26). My mother lived in some awful places and several times considered prostitution just to get enough for us to eat.
I love my mom. It hurts me that my birth was such a problem for her. I know she loves me and that she never even considered abortion, but it definitely would have made her life so much better. She still struggles today with the self-esteem issues and the money panic from those days. Adoption might have been a strategy, sure, but that still would have been nine months of her life, with my unsupportive grandparents and my father, who was a right jerk, not really being a huge help there. Adoption's not as easy as some make it out to be.
So, yes, I'm pro-choice and I kinda think my mom should have aborted me.

That's so true. They are biased because they live in a society that condones/alows it. They can't see the result if they didn't, which for all they know would be a reduction in the number of pregnancies not just due to people actually using the protection they claim to. But also mothers stopping sponging from the state, deliberately because they have given up on the world & deliberately gone out & spawned a dozen kids, claiming 'oops accident too'.
And have you noticed that Christians are sacrificing the comandment 'thou shalt not kill' by paying their taxes. Which go to pay for 'abortion' torture/murder. Without their taxes funding many abortions to women for free or subsidysing them, doctors wouldn't do them, they don't do it for free you know. So employed Christians are in efect murdering, as surely as if by their own hand. So please don't spout any more of that 'God can save your soul at me, until your even remotely sure yours may be saved'. No one can force you to take part in murder, no matter what you might think. Just as you physically can't make anyone work, they have a 'choice'.
So don't bash the jobless etc. They are guilty of having to tolerate this world, with most of you against them, they have an excuse. I have many an adiction myself to help me get over the society I live in, unfairly I have to pay physically & finacially for them out of my own pocket, how sucky is that. Society mentally cr*ps on me, condoning such as 'abortion' MURDER & I have to pay for it.
FYI I was violently abused by my father during my whole childhood & my parents were happily married. Very much wanted me, were charming in public. But of course this makes it worse because you don't get to hear all the stories behind closed doors like that, because social/children's services are too concearned with the single parents etc asuming abuse there rather than where it might actually be. With two parents technically the odds of suffering abuse are then doubled in my experience. I feared him harming my mother & my mother feared loosing her job as a childminder if she reported him or him killing us. I don't usually go around telling anyone about my childhood. I guess those who feel unwanted/hard done by just have bigger mouths.
I'm sure those who may wish they had been aborted, realize like I did at least society didn't condone what happened to them, they were on their side. I know that gave me so much comfort at the time. I still would choose to be born & suffer all over again if I had to. We were very poor, but I have so many real friends who love me for me, and it's true time does heal wounds. I have a minimum wage job, but I'm loved, parental love is so over-rated. Society in efect raises our kids these days anyway we don't always get a say in that, they even try to teach ethics in school these days. Teaching abortion as just a medical procedure, or comparing it like puting a sick animal to sleep, no wonder we are in the mess we are. People need to get into reality.
Society recognizing torture & murder as wrong is fundamental to mental health- which leads back to abortion, it should be abandoned by society. Reformed just for those who will physically die from continuing a pregnancy. Not just those who claim mental pain. The ability to overcome such an atrocity as torture & murder, is necesary to overcome natural disaster. Not one you make yourself, it's an abuse of your psyche to use it to get away with 'abortion' murder. The feeling after the event that what's done is done & your child is not suffering now, doctors have pre-meditated this outcome. Screw them to hell.

It's pretty hard to take a position on abortion when you haven't been born. If my mother aborted me, I wouldn't be around to care. If she had wanted to abort me, I would feel guilty for having been born. No child deserves to feel that way. Hence, the goodness of abortion.

Fifty percent of all pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion, also known as miscarriage. Half of all those babies could be saved with proper prenatal care. That's a LOT of babies. BUT, the very same groups that say they are "Pro-Life" are the very same groups who fight to slash funding for prenatal care programs. THEY have already been born, too.

Actually, my mother had an abortion while in college, and I'm pretty grateful she did. Otherwise, she wouldn't have finished college and would not have been able to make a decent living when I was a kid. Obviously she had me later, because I'm sitting here typing this. Bottom line: I support every woman's right to choose, even my mom's.
