My views on abortion, personal perspective.

[birdgirl73]

No mountain, hun. Just one of the judgement calls that we face.

Hey! Here's link about spina bifida in case it interests you. It's not about disconnection of the brain and spine as much as it is incomplete development of the spine and neural tube. I'm glad your mom carried her pregnancy to term and glad you were born healthy.

Nah i meant i didn't wanna make a mole hill turn into a mountain lol.

and I remember my mom said something like this, but not the name.


myelomeningocele, the severest form, in which the spinal cord and its protective covering (the meninges) protrude from an opening in the spine;

abortion should be open to any women that wants it, plain and simple.
that is my opinion.
i wish the world had an occupancy limit, we have 6,000,000,000+ people on this world, the planet is over crowded enough as it is.
im not entirely sure, but i think china has a family size limit....or was that someplace else?
this is a good idea.

I'm pro-choice but not because I'm a woman's right advocate... Basically, if you outlaw abortion it isnt going to stop people from terminating unwanted pregnancies, that's the bottom line.

The middle-class and poor will bear the biggest blunt turning to less safe and perhaps out-right dangerous forms of abortion while the rich will just fly off to another country where is is legal.

The solution to abortion in my opinion is dropping this traditional fundamentalist Christian mentality that preaches abstinence despite studies showing the % of people refraining from sex before marriage is shrinking all the time. We need to drop this puritanical view on sex and start teaching safe sex to our children at a young age and we need to provide low cost birth control to all men and women so that unwanted pregnancy dont occur as frequently.

In the end though abortion is a very tough thing to do... Even if a woman doesnt realize it in the short-term the decision almost always comes back to haunt them sometime later in life... The fact is you are killing a potential child that you would be the mother/father to and anyone who has kids knows that thought, as a parent, is very hard to wrap your mind around...

My heart goes out to the young girls who dont know any better and did what they felt they had to do... It's one of those things you can never undo and it sticks with you for the rest of your life. And Gods knows I'm not a religious person or even a kid person... I think that is why so many people can be so fanatic about being pro-life... But in the end, life isnt always b/w and sometimes you got to make TOUGH decisions... I just sooner see that number of men and women who have to go through that process decrease through early education and cheap and easily accessible b/c.

Pro choice do what you wanna do i mean think about if you were a 14 year old girl and having a baby your life from then on would be hard, life is hard already. i think maybe if your over 18 abortion should be illegal cause atleast your old enough to support yourself.

I am fairly sure I posted this before, but I had to leave and I couldn't check up on it, and I can't remember the post really so I am posting it again.


I was suppose to be born with spinal bifeda(sp?).
I am told that this is where your spine does not fully connect to your brain.
Apparently I had two months before I was to be born, and there was a one in two thousand chance I was going to be born normal.
My mom was surrounded by three doctors. She was sitting and they were standing around her. The room was small, barely big enough for two people. They were telling her, much more forcably than they should have been and also got exasperated enough to say it was downright stupid, that she needed to have an abortion. There was little to no chance I would be born normally. I would be born a vegatable, and never even know I was alive.

I was born two months later, a healthy boy.
I'm glad you were born healthy.

I believe that the only reason that anyone should ever have an abortion is if the woman is a rape victim.

I firmly believe that if you make the decision to have sex then you deserve what happens.
Way to make sex sound like a game of Russian roulette.

If you decide to have sex and become pregnant, then you should either get with the man who done it, or make certain he pays child support.
Because that is so easy these days...

The child did absolutly nothing. The mistake is your's and your partner's. Give the child up for adoption, but if you go up for an abortion then the doctor is a murderer, and and you are a co-conspirator.


This is not an opinion, this is a fact.No, it's an opinion. The supreme court decides what is murder and what isn't. A fetus is technically a living being. And by allowing it to be killed, you are a conspirator to it's murder.
Animals are living beings too, I guess your big mac is murder too. Even the cannabis plant was living, are you a murder for lightin up a spliff?


None of this is based on religion, I am very agnostic. I believe that the bible is a possability, but at the same time nothing may be real.


All of this, besides murder, is my opinion. You may have your own opinion, but these are mine, respect my opinion's and i will respect yours. I will not condemn your opinions, as long as you do not condemn mine. Do not flame me, I will not flame you otherwise. Do not insult anyone on this thread, it is a discussion of my views and others. Do not threaten anyone on this thread, it is pointless and shows your own immaturity.

Post away.

Just my thoughts on this....

Look, if you want to terminate a child you don't just do it for the hell of it. I'm tired of anti-abortionists going on "how would the child feel?" yeah, it wouldn't because it's not even born yet. It is irresponsible though to rely on an abortion when having sex though. We need to make it a pain in the ass to have an abortion so people rely on it less.

for alot of women, it already is a 'pain in the ass' with the emotional baggage that comes with it and what not... true there are some women out there who could care less, but most, have atleast some emotional trauma from the entire thing... putting more red tape on it, would probably end up screwing over the wrong people in the end, those who actually need it, but for some reason or not, can't get through the red tape to even get it...

personally, i actually wish abortion had never even or never will of been thought of, but it has, and it's here now... there's no taking it back... but honestly it's causing way too many problems, too much controversy... it's just giving us (people) one more thing to fight and bicker about.... and when you think of the 1,000's or more other reasons we already had pre-abortion, we really didn't need any more... but like i said, it's here now and we can't take back the discovery of it... so let the people who need it take advantage of it...

if you're going out and fucking, having unprotected sex, and basicly just throwing the dice on getting pregnant, you deserve to have to have the kid... i honestly don't feel it's fair or right for those people to go and say they don't want to have a kid and have it aborted... no matter how much emotional baggage might come from it....

No chris40, it is murder. And I don't eat at any fast food resteraunts.

I occasionally eat at real resteraunts that I (even though i know it is a mistaken believe) believe to be safe. I eat at home town resteraunts.

Either way, the supreme court doesn't decide anything, morality of human beings does.

If there is a great chance that the woman would die, then yes I would support her decision in an abortion. If my girlfriend would die from having a kid, I would ask her to get an abortion. If she wanted to have the kid anyway, I would respect her decision. We have safe sex, she is on the pill and I always use a condom.

And yes it is fairly easy for you to know who the dad is unless the woman is a complete whore, sleeping with many men whom she does not know.

If you know the name of the father, even if he denies it you can get a court order for a blood test, then the system will force him to pay child support.
