do you think abortion is a convenient and positive life altering medical procedure for the mother?
do you think there should be mandatory grief counselling for both mother and father?

Everything has upsides. Abortion is a very difficult decision to make for anyone. If there is just cause when lives are at risk it must be agonizing.
My issue is that of retroactive birth control. I do not have any statistics (which I am sure would be skewed anyway depending on which side the statistician was on), but am certain that this is the greatest use of this atrocity. Killing babies because someone decided about convenience after the act is the ultimate selfishness.

For those who abortion was intended, it is neither convenient nor positive. Abortion should not be used as a method of birth control, but I do believe it should be legal because everyone's situation is different and people make choices based on their unique circumstances. Someone who would think of abortion in such a callous way....that's it a convenient way to deal with a "problem" and not feel the agony in the decision is the type of person who has no feeling anyway so it would be neither positive nor negative.
I don't think there should be mandatory grief counseling, but I do believe there should be counseling BEFORE hand and I think in a lot of states, it already is.

I think that there are many forms of birth control available and people should use them. When someone takes a life there should be grief. Years ago my son's girlfriend had an abortion and he never recovered from the pain he felt. Several years later he commited suicide (not because of the abortion) and in his letter he mentioned the baby who's life he and his girlfriend chose to stop.
Before anyone undergoes an abortion I believe that they need to be counseled along with after if they still choose to go ahead with the procedure.

It is very convenient!
It would also be convenient for me to leave my baby in her crib all day so I could get work done. However, it would not be very nice to my baby of course.
As you probably know, by the 3rd week of a pregnancy, before most people even know they are pregnant, the little heart starts to pump blood. Paying someone to stop that beating heart is life altering for the baby since her life has just ended. I would imagine it would be life altering for the mother also, but I'm not sure how it would be positive.
Mandatory counseling? How about, the organization that destroys the fetus should be required to offer counseling in this regard to those involved.

I've never had one (and never, ever will), but I know that it is not a positive experience in the least! And, yes, I think it would be a good idea to have mandatory counseling for the women, maybe not the men (in my experience, I found that most men who are okay with their gf getting an abortion don't really care that much about the girl, let alone the baby).

Most woman who do it struggle with it for the rest of their life, so I think there should definately be a form of post abortion counseling.

I do not believe it should be used as a birth control method. I have had one, & I was fine without counseling. It was a decision I really made on my own & have never regretted it.

It is NOT a positive experience, its very sad... Its very hard too. And I think, that if you require some sort of couselling after, then it really was NOT something you wanted in the first place, so you shouldnt have done it. As you obviously regret it. Its a VERY VERY hard decision, but IF thats what you're going to do, make sure its REALLY what you want, you know?

THIS IS AMERICA!!!! YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE!!!! In my world it is not contravercial and up to the would be parents. It is your choice. As far as life altering, my old roomate and his girlfriend had one it took a little consoleing but she eventually got over it. (only took a month or two). This is cold but kind of like loosing a close pet, that is what she put it next to.
