To bring a child into the world with already so much baggage is not right. A real mother would do anything to protect her child or unborn child. She would do anything even go against everyones beliefs, even take critisizm from people, even lay herself on a table and feel pain. To save her child from going through pain, anger, and confusion. To save her child from grief. If all of you people only have to say is that women are murdering their children and are thinking about themselves, they're not. Some women do it so their child won't ever have to regret their own life. So the child won't have to deal with all the bull that is already surrounding them even as being unborn. I know you can't protect your child from everything in the world but at the very least you can start them off in some other place other than an f'd up situation.

well here's an answer for you.this is why I am mostly against it. I had a child when i just turned 16 and then I was raped in a park and ultimately fell pregnant and my 10 week old baby was kidnapped we did get her back though but I was pregnant and had an abortion. That was the worst f-ing thing that I have done in my whole entire life There's not a day that goes by when I look at my 2 kids and feel my baby moving in my belly that I don't think about the baby that's life I ruined. It was a very difficult decision to make but now I wish I had of kept that baby. Now do you still share the same views? I tell these kids not to do it becasue of personal experience and I sure as hell would rather raise a child and struggle for a while then totally ruin a totally innocent person's life again. that is one mistake I would never make again. So thats why I tell them not to. becasue they will regret it and no circumstance is bad enough for it and I should know now.

That is hard to answer, I do not believe in aborting just because you do not want to be pregnant. That should have been considered when the sexual act was being performed "protection".
But being raped gives a person mixed feelings about it. It isn't the baby's fault, you could always have the baby and give it up for adoption, but to have the constant reminder of the terrible event would be mind boggling. So, I really do not know and I hope that I am not put in that position or anyone I know for that matter.

This has happened to a friend of mine, a very close friend, and yes I still had the same views that abortion is wrong. She ended up going through with the pregnancy and giving the baby up for adoption which is very admirable.
The ironic part of the whole thing, is that she still loves this child , even though she hates the person who did it to her.
It is not the childs fault that the mother got pregnant from an unfortunate event. And it is not just a "ball of cells" it is a life.

Yes, I would still have the same views.
Abortion is primarily about the child. In every procedure, an innocent baby dies no matter what the circumstances of conception were.
That includes rape. No one is saying it would be easy. But to give the baby life would be the right thing to do.
And studies have shown that getting an abortion can actually keep a woman from healing after a traumatic rape. Killing the baby can make the pain and guilt worse.

For me personally I have been, and I also know the loss of a child (miscarriage) not his. I want a baby I have been trying for several years. I know for me I would keep the baby yes, I would hid the fact I was raped and the father, in order to protect my child. In my view I couldn't abort a child that was conserved threw no fault of their own. I don't think or expect others to understand this or anything but onces you become a victim you do what u can in order to prevent your self from being another victim. And I wouldn't want to pass that on long to my child as being a victim it would be a way of making myself no longer a victim or turning something bad into something so great. No matter what your view are of abortion most people would agree once they have children they are great gifts. And for me it would be a way to heal.

I would say i am partially against, and partially for..some circumstances are uncalled for..such as using abortion as a form of birth control..but most of the time it should be a woman's choice..the baby hasn't even fully developed yet..and if a woman was raped, that would be so painful for her to have to look at her child everyday..and know that there father was a man who raped you..that would be awful..Teen mothers also can't handle that sort of commitment to a child..it would be selfish to try to raise a child when the mother is still just a child herself..So basically i agree with you..its a woman's body..and she should have the choice to do with it as she pleases..im sick and tired of all these people trying to control how these women live there lives..

No, I would not support her in an abortion. I know the situation would be bad - but I would personally carry it to full term and consider adoption.
The ONLY reason I believe in abortion - is when there is something medically wrong with you or the baby that would prevent you or the baby from living.
That is the ONLY way - because it's like, why bring a baby into the world if it's just going to suffer and die? And why bring a baby into the world if you're going to die yourself AND the baby as well...
I don't know if that made sence or not, but that's just my opinion.
That's the ONLY way i'll ever agree to or support anyone with an abortion.

I am definitely pro choice to a certain degree. I don't believe in late trimester abortions. After 25 weeks, even earlier sometimes a baby can survive with medical treatment. First trimester, there is no way for the fetus to survive. Do I think that everyone should have unprotected sex, and just not worry about it because they can get rid of the baby, no, but certain circumstances call for certain measures. If after the first trimester you haven't made up your mind... get over you had 3 months to make a choice, unless it is medically necessary.

But abortion IS murder you sill person! So you're saying it's ok to kill an unborn child? Rape is bad, I'll give you that. BUT (never been in that situation) there is always a way...have the baby and give it up for adoption. It isn't the baby's fault. It isn't the mother's fault. It's the idiot guy who forced himself on her. As hard as it may be, if it was my daughter I would help her get through the pregnancy the best I can and when she has it I would try to be supportive of whatever decision she may make.
