Okay, personally, I'm against abortion. In other words it's murder. I heard it hurts the baby while it's being killed aswell. I can't even hurt a bug, forget a baby

in islam abortion is disapproved. i believe that only god has the right to take life and nobody else.
however abortion is allowed in islam if the mother's life is threatened by her pregnancy

Against.
There are other options. How is it the childs fault for being conceived? Its not. So why should take it out on them?
Its not their fault for the careless acts of teenagers and adults. Adopt it out to a good, caring, family. Everyone has a reason to be in this world. This kid could grow up to save lifes. Why rob the world of people who have the chance to grow up and make a difference.
I dont see anything positive about abortion, but look at all the positive possibilities of having the baby. whether you raise it yourself or not.

The Abortion Act came into being in 1967 in the UK. Just before this I worked in a hospital and saw several cases of septic abortion as a result of back-street abortionists - all them died. After the Act came in back street abortions stopped overnight and so did deaths from them. There is no way anyone is going back on this. However, abortion is now misused particularly as a method of contraception - and it is going to be difficult to do anything about it - whatever your religion..

I personally don't like abortion, and I would never get one. But, I don't think the government should make it illegal. I think it should be available since not everyone has the same beliefs.
I also think we need better sex education. Kids are going to have intercourse even if you tell them not to, but if they're educated then they won't have to make a terrible decision because they made a bad mistake.
This view isn't based on religion, just my thoughts.

I am opposed to abortion. One of the best books on the subject is Won By Love, by Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in Roe vs. Wade. She hates the lawsuit that she was part of at one time. She is now pro-life. Do a search on her website-"Roe no more ministry" to find out more about her.

I am against abortion for moral reasons and also common sense. With all the birth control available today, there is just no reason for a woman to have an unwanted pregnancy. She didn't forget to have sex, but she forgot to use birth control?! Its just a death for no good reason. If you don't want a child, use protection - How hard is that? Some women use abortion AS birth control. It's sickening.

With. I'm an Atheist, but that has nothing to do with it. I think we should allow abortion, here's a scenario -
- A women is rapped, she can't afford to take care of the baby, so she has to get an abortion, right or wrong?
- A very poor woman is pregnant, her husband and her can't afford to take care of the baby. They get an abortion, right, or wrong?
- A teenage girl is rapped and is pregnant, should she get an abortion, or not?
I do believe though, there should be age limits (with exceptions) to keep teens from getting away with having sex.

What if sex outside marriage is wrong? What if it is called fornication and is forbidden by God? What if all sexually immoral people are thrown in the lake of fire? What if your baby is a personal creation and gift from God? What if your infant is made in the image and likeness of God? What if you are carrying twins? What if God forbids the shedding of your child's innocent blood? What if aborting your baby is murder in God's eyes? What if the commandment "You shall not murder" is a warning to your conscience? What if abortion is the most serious kind of sin? What if you will be held accountable for all of your sins? What if God holds murdering your baby against you on Judgment Day? What if God commanded that you repent and turn from your sin? What if God also required that you put your faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, to take your punishment? What if you are commanded to repent and believe this? What if you were to go to hell because you are a sinner and refused to obey God's command? What if this was the last chance God gave you to turn from your sin?
What if you did to do the right thing and let your little one live? What if there is a loving, adoptive couple who is willing to call your baby their own? What if it was FREE to place your infant for adoption? What if you cried out to God to forgive you of all of your sin? What if you determined to obey Jesus, and with His help, sin no more? What if you asked God to help you through this pregnancy and through the rest of your life? What if you did this by faith right now?
What if there were no more questions and God is demanding your immediate obedience?

Im pro-choice...but I dont think abortion should be used as a form of birth control. I agree that people abuse abortion that way.

Based on the Bible- 101% against.
According to the Mosaic Law, causing the death of a baby in its mother’s womb was wrong. Yes, even such a life is precious to Jehovah. (Exodus 21:22, 23; Psalm 127:3) This means that abortion is wrong.
Why should someone lose his life just because someone else does not want to accept responsibility for their actions?
Even if it's a rape case- why does the INNOCENT CHILD have to pay for it?
