Abortion is Un-American

What will they say next "Women shall have the depo shot because men find it disgusting and "wrong" that they bleed from there crotches every month" I mean it is the women's own body and she can choose to do whatever she wants with what is growing on, inside, outside where EVER it may be!

I do not think however that it should be used as birth control.

Enactuse it's easy to say "if I was" , your a guy and you will never understand how it is to have a female body.

I'm with GooseBear 100% on this (even though I'm a guy :D)

This issue is important to me, my girlfriend had to go through an abortion a while ago (from me, nothing traumatic, it was a problem with the birth control, and it hasn't happened ever again) and she didn't even need to think twice about it. All I could do was be there for her, listen to her, support her, because ultimately it's HER choice, not the goddamn government, nor yours, Torog. You think it's easy for a woman to just walk into a clinic and get an abortion? It's a horrible experience, and people should take necessary steps to avoid it, however the choice MUST ALWAYS be there.

What gives you the right to decide what other people should with their bodies? Sure, start by saying abortion is illegal, after that, what's next? Again, GooseBear gives a good example with the depo shot. Then what? will it be illegal to get a tattoo because some people think a body is sacred and shouldn't be messed with? Will it be illegal to get a body piercing? will it be illegal to grow your hair long? (believe it or not, I heard on the radio today that Kim Jong Il has made it illegal for men to have hair longer than 5 cm (2 inches) because to him it's anti-socialist... and to think in the US having long hair is anti capitalist... LOL)

A person should be free to do with their body as they see fit, and as far as I'm concerned, an embryo before 3 months is still part of the mother's body.
