    I know i have just clearly explained that there should be no laws against it, i was also giving my personal opinion on the matter.

    Yes i know condoms are not 100% but there are plenty other things they could use :)

    well theres two options making this tough,

    one)if a teenager has an abortion it should be left to either the parent or teen.

    two)you get an abotion its still as if your killing a human being which is unacceptible at any cpst.

    three)Its up to the parents (atleast over 21) of the child also if they want to have an abortion or not.


    I say you do whatever the f**k you guys want... your option not the gorvenment.

    Couldn't live a good life? roflmao, ignorance is bliss. Some of the happiest people I know are mentally handicapped, or physically handicapped people. Only in cases where the mother would die, if she gave birth could I even consider it justifieable. It's still wrong, but understandable in that situation. Other then that, it's wrong. Plain and simple. Even if the mother was raped, that's the kid's fault how? It isn't, and it deserves the chance to live just as much as anyone else.

    That is your opinion and not mine, if my child was just handicapped then sure i would keep it, but why go through all the hurt and pain by having a child you know will die in a few years time. I personally couldnt do it.

    In my opinion, unless you are too young to support a child, then abortion really isnt necessary.

    Another thing, if the kid is going to be handicapped in such a way that they would either not live for very long, or have an extremely restricted life and you know the life would be hell, then abortion is a viable option.

    It really, really depends on the circumstances.

    well, this is like... the touchiest subject ever. anyways, my rationale on it is that a man and a woman have the right to choose what happens to the fetus. i truly don't see this as killing a baby, because a fetus is not a baby at all. however, i feel strongest about not getting to that position. it seems pointless to think about abortion when you can use protection and avoid the situation all together.

    Awesome post, exactly what I was thinking.

    And Lennox, probably less than 1% of abortions are the result from a women being raped. Most of them is just from couples who have a child which they didn't want.

    Gee, didn't want the kid now, did you? Why'd you bring this up midway through the pregnancy instead of using, say, birth control? It's running away from completely preventable consequences. Birth control or even abstinance gets rid of the pregnancy "problem."

    As for the person that says fetuses cannot survive outside the body: small surgeries can be performed on fetuses before their birth to correct things that could cause major trouble down the road. The surgeries take place outside the body. The only thing that the mother is really providing is nutrients and a growing environment, both of which can be made outside of the body.

    Many of these "life-ruining" problems observed in pregnancy don't inhibit the child's ability to live. There was a problem during my mother's second pregnancy, and as a result my brother is deaf and has a few mental problems. He's eight now and lives the same as any other child his age, except for the cochlear implant that he wears everywhere. The doctor's can't be completely sure what'll happen when the child is born.

    Me, I'd rather let the child have a chance at living. Even if it were my son, I'd rather have what time I could have with my son alive than "just making another." A guy named Beethoven was the product of a mother with tuburculosis and a father with syphillis at the time. With modern technology, most doctors would say that Beethoven wouldn't have a chance in the world at living. Look where he ended up.

    I think abortion is wrong, like Ferret^ said, give the child a chance to live and see how he/she turns out..

    But there should be no laws against it, A mother has every right to keep or abort the pregnancy.
    Young mothers should be taught the value of the life inside them waiting to be a person in this world, and know that they have the choice to keep and preserve life or terminate it.
    On the other hand there should be more government support for young mothers that are living in harsh conditions.

    In my very humble opinion, I believe abortion should be a choice. Though, I'm neither --- - choice, nor --- - life. I'm more or less --- - responsibility. In all honesty a woman should not have 5-6 abortions and continue to have sex.

    Abortion, to me, should only be done under specific circumstances. For instance, if the baby is already guaranteed to have a deficiency that will kill it at birth or in a matter of weeks after birth, it could be a very good option, no child deserves to suffer, get rid of the pain early.

    If the woman is going to just have sex and get abortion, at least do it once or twice at the most. To consistently do it is just being irresponsible, and that is where I believe abortion turns into murder.

    So all in all, abortion should be under circumstances, not being a whore.

    abortion is neither right nor wrong. Do i agree with it...yes in some instances/cases i do believe it neccessary. If a girl/woman is raped, do you think that they would want to keep that child?no. If the girl is in her lower teens, she may not be able to support the child, and having a child as a child would forfeit the next 18 years of her life (14 +18=32).

    it is the person who is carrying the child decision, not the father, not the girls/womans parents/family, and definitely not their friends.

    Rape pregnancy rates are quite low. However, they do occur. There, it's the mother's call. If she feels she can raise a ------- son, more power to her. However, I'd rather see the kid up for adoption than as a dead fetus on an operating table.

    If it's a fourteen year old who ----ed around, got pregnant, and is looking for a way out: she should have the kid. A potential child doesn't need to get popped because she's too irresponsible to abstain or use birth control.

    The father can influence the decision, but can't make it. It takes more than ovaries to make kids, you know.

    I'm against it but if it happens as a result of being a simple 'accident' (condom breaks, contraception, in other words, does not work) and you couldn't give the child a proper life because you feel like you're just a kid yourself, why have the child be put through hardship? Having a child that you know you cannot take care of, I think, is more selfish than having an abortion just coz. It happens, though, and the child suffers a lot and is just used for a welfare check because the mother (and father too) are just lazy and use the child as a cash cow. That's a horrible form of abuse.

    I guess I'm torn... It's the parents' right and we shouldn't muddle in their business, but on the other hand, it's terrible, really...
