Abortion personally at this point in my life is not for me because I'm married and have an income and lifestyle to accomodate a child.
If I was in any other situation I would want the choice available to me to chose an abortion. If I thought I could not afford to properly raise a child or my living arrangements were unhealthy for a child I would choose not to bring that child into the world. I would search out every possible way to bring the child into the world safely first for an adoption and if I could not do that in good conscience because of spousal abuse or drugs then I would choose the abortion.
There is a time and place for everything, including life and it doesn't always happen at the right time.

Of course I'm pro - choice. I as a women deserve to have the right to choose what I do with my body. Including getting rid of a baby I don't want. I am for abortion cause not all the times when you get pregnant you weren't responsible maybe you were there was just an accident. It should be that person's choice ALONE. No one should have to decide for her - as for the guy **** him he say he'll stick around but that's a bunch of bullshit. I don't think abortions should be a form of birth control. you know you get pregnant like ten times and then get an abortion after everytime. No but I think if it's with those rare occurences then yes. I would rather get rid of something that was NEVER wanted, then keep an accident child. A lot of people in my school are accidents and there parents tell it to the faces - you were never wanted we just kept you cause we didn't wanna feel guilty. - How would you feel if someone said that to you? And people say why not just get an adoption - first I do believe in adoption but I dont' think it's the best choice. Everyone says at least the baby will go to a loving, caring, family who will be able to take care of it. There are milions of babies/children up for adoption yet no one wants them? Isn't that jsut a little strange. And I'm not saying all but some adoptive parents don't plan to be caring or nice, they can be pretty cruel. One of my close friends is adopted and she hates her adoptive parents she hates how they treat her, how they're so close minded (she's an atheist). She said she plans to find her birth mother just to yell at her. She wanted her mother so badly to just have gotten the abortion.
*exhales* I feel better now. So what i'm saying is I'm pro - choice got that? Don't like abortions don't GET one then. Just cause you don't like them doesn't mean you should stop others from getting one. It's my vagina my choice.

I don't have to. My best friend was raped got pregnant and aborted her baby. It was the worst decision she made in her entire life.
Do you see all these people saying I was not ready for it? That's selfish! If I'm not secure, I don't want a baby. Well you know what if you don't want a baby don't sleep around! That's the only 100% effective way not to get pregnant. And if the worst should happen and you get raped and then you get pregnant (I know it's a double whammy), God gave that child to you for a reason. It was in his plan. Then you go and get it aborted and you don't get to learn those life lessons until way later. (when you decide you're ready not when God does)
Plain and simple abortion is another way of making yourself God. Why should you have to behave a certain way if there are no consequences for you actions? If God gives you a baby, no matter the circumstances, you have no right to end it because that would mean that you're telling God no. Who are you to tell God no? And you know what? I'm Catholic and I don't believe in birth control or safe sex. Birth controls are essentially abortion pills and safe sex doesn't work but that's not why the Catholic Church condems them. The Church condems them because they knew when birth control came out that it would mess up society.
The people who supported birth control said women will be more respected in society with it. Did that happen? NO. Women in society have been degraded so much that it's normal for teenagers to have sex. Schools encourage them by giving them condoms. That's like saying if you rob a bank make sure you take out the cameras.

I believe that God said, "Thou shalt not commit murder"
Many people argue that statement and say that with suicide it's okay because it's your own life our taking, but what they don't realize is that God gave you that life. Every minute you're alive is a gift from God. Your life is not your own, it was bought with a price. The same goes with a child. Yes you had sex and "created" that baby, but without God's help you couldn't have done anything. You can't make the sperm and egg join and miraclously make a baby, only God can.
Although many people argue that because it doesn't have arms and legs and so forth that it's not a baby, and maybe "technically" it isn't but it has the potential to be a baby. If the abortion didn't take place it would grow and grow until it was formed into what we call a baby. Though some abortions may not actually kill a "baby" as we call it, it cuts off all changes that it could have had.
Yes I know there are circumstances where abortion would really be alot better for the mother. Rape, incest, and other things are honestly a good reason for abortion, BUT I still believe what God said, "Thou shalt NOT commit murder." He didn't say that it was only okay to kill when you've been raped or molested, but he said "Thou shalt not commit murder." There is no lead way in that statement. You can't work your way around it and still be obedient to God's word. But unfortunately there are some women who have been subjected to something as horrible and this, but that is VERY unfortunate for them. We can't termination the life of a potential human being because of it. What have they done? Obviously God must have something great for that baby's life to bring them into this world.

I have thought about it.
I have two views on abortion. I don't think it should be used as a method of birth control nor do I belive in partial birth abortions.
However, I think if someone is in a situation were they cannot care for the baby, or if their health is at stake, I think abortion is okay.
I'm pro-choice. Call me a murderer or whatever but I sitll belive.

I have been in her shoes. I found I was pregnant when part way through divorcing my violent alcoholic husband who had already run off with his long-term mistress (and got her pregnant too). I faced bringing up three children alone. So what did I do?
I didn't kill my baby, of course. There would be no circumstances where it would ever be right to kill an innocent child just because it was inconvenient. She is now 3 and she is beautiful, and loving, and so much fun. And I've managed. I've even remarried so now she has a daddy who loves her, and her big sisters dote on her.

If a young woman is brutally raped and ends up pregnant with the mans baby, of COURSE she has the right to terminate it.
If a woman gets an abortion when she is 2 months or less, it is really just like sucking semen out, because it isnt even legally a fetus until 16 weeks. In fact, it doesnt even develop into a being until 12 weeks. I dont believe in post birth abortion. Getting big for 8 months, when the baby IS a baby, and then killing it with tranquilizer and then pushing it out like birth....well, that is just sickening. If you are going to get an abortion, please, dont be cruel, do it before it feels and breaths.

I would still not have an abortion even if I found myself pregnant right now (in not the greatest of circumstances). If I am mature enough to be having sex, I am mature enough to deal with the consequences. And while conceiving a child from a rape would be a horrible thing, I still don't believe that I would be able to abort it. And I know it's easy for me to say that when I am not in that situation, but my beliefs tell me that murder is wrong, no situation is exempt.

There would be no reason for me to get an abortion.
With birth control being what it is today, being on the pill and using a condom together pretty much removes all chances of getting pregnant.
And if I were raped, the Plan B pill costs $45 at CVS, you don't even need a prescription.
There really is no reason an adult of right mind should ever even need to have an abortion (aside from one for medical reasons), whether they think it's right or wrong.

Abortion is wrong in the Bible it says thou shalt not murder and abortion is killing a baby. the baby has a heart beat 3 weeks. 9 monthes is not that long compared to 50 or so years abortion is taking away from the unborn child that could make a difference in the world
