Abortion. Justified or not?

I said abortion only when raped, because think of the poor women who has to give birth to an unwanted baby, which was concieved in a horrible, sickening way. Giving birth to him/her and knowing that a baby, your baby, your blood, was concieved under such harsh pretences.

I know if I was a mom, and I had to carry around a child for 9months that was a forced, painful, horrifying way to make a baby, I would be sick to my stomach. Knowing that part of my kid has some other part of a man who destroyed my life.

Adopted kids want to know their roots. Happens all the time.

Abortion should be legal. It should not be up to the government. If you dont want to have an abortion because its "wrong"...don't have one (if you're a woman). It's really that simple. But those who feel it is acceptable as a last resort should have a safe option available.

Let's face it. Legal or illegal, abortion will be around. In this case, I think it should be safe, clean and professionally done so some teenage girl isn't giving herself an abortion with a hanger. Maybe people should think more about consequences, but you can't legislate sense.

I've had an abortion. I had it last year, at a time when I really couldn't be pregnant. The asshole I was with left me the day after I had the abortion. If I would've gone through with the pregnancy, I would've been facing it alone.

I support abortion 100%. Everyone should have the right to their own bodies.

well said!

I voted for choice, but I def. don't know how I feel about it. On a moral basis, I have some issues with abortion. However, I believe that my opinion is just that: an opinon and I firmly believe people are entitled to make thier own choices.

thats a bunch of bull crap. do you have any idea how much an abortion costs??? clearly to much to use it as a contraceptive. besides, the emotional and physical damages done after an abortion outweigh its 'convenience' as a method of birth control. most of the time, an abortion is a last resort. adoption takes months to settle, its emotionally draining, costly and not availible to everyone.

^I don't understand how people use abortion as birth control either. This one time my friend got pregnant but she couldn't afford an abortion which would have costed something like $900. Insurance would only have covered it if the pregnancy was a health risk. She had the child and cares for it, but still would have much rather had an abortion.
Something about forcing a women of any age to have a child disturbs me. Though it can definately be said that my friend and other girls that have unprotected sex should have thought about the consequences before the action, take a look at the world in which we live.
In a perfect world everybody would think about the consequences of everything they are about to do, but this is obviously not a perfect world and even those who may be aware of those consequences do things they know they shouldn't.
Having unprotected sex and getting pregnant is a big mistake and it would really suck to be forced to live it when measures can still be taken to prevent the birth. Not only would having a child in many cases be devastating to the mother but all unwanted children are a burden on society. Not just if and when the state has to care for the child but also due to the likelyhood of them turning delinquent.
For some reason I just can't feel any remorse for a would-be human being smaller than a pea with no intelligence, memories or any perceptual experience. Maybe I am just that kind of cold hearted bastard.
As a man there is absolutely no chance that I will get pregnant, no matter how much sex I have. Knowing that I cannot say that every women who gets pregnant should be forced to go through with it. That would truly make me a cold hearted bastard.

Well i believe it is wrong, but i still surport it.
