Think of it this way. Would you rather be an adopted child and not know your parents, or not get to experience life at all?

 

That is pretty much the way I think of it, everyone seems to think that if the child is adopted that they will suffer, but plenty of kids live happy lives when adopted so why not give them a chance at life instead of aborting them.

 

I think you should be free to do whatever you want, but I feel so bad for the baby that gets killed in the process.

 

I understand what you are saying, I just think that since someone has sexual intercourse which was meant for the purpose of bearing a child. That they just can't kill the baby because they don't want the responsibility.

Being against abortion is saying you don't believe women should have full rights over their bodies, which is fucked up.

I "agree" with abortion.

 

People who had sex and wanted a baby,  will most likely give birth and not choose abortion. They wanted the baby, they have it now ... life is good.

People who had sex but didn't want the baby, have the option to either abort it or go ahead with the birth. These people can be from any sort of social status, so I have no idea why anyone brought up junky parents or poverty.

 

I'm not religious at all, so I can't really comment on any responses that involve religion, but I will say this;

The bible never once mentions abortion.

in fact, it actually agrees with abortion to a certain extent. 

 

“If a man does not get his share of happines then I say a baby born dead is better off. It does

that baby no good to be born It never sees the light of day or knows what life is like, but at least it has found rest.” Ecclesiastes 6:3-5

 

“But better off are those who have never been born, who have never seen the injustice that goes on in the world.” Ecclesiastes 4:3

 

 

A foetus is not a living being, it has not been born and will have no recollection of it ever being in its' mothers womb.

Because of this, it could hardly be considered "Murder". This debate will never end, and people will always have different opinions on a topic.

 

But, none of us have any right to say what another human being may or may not do with there body. If a woman wants to have an abortion, she should be able to do that without hesitance.  

 

Especially men,

I don't think men should have any input into why a woman should not be able to have an abortion.

I've always been on the fence about this issue. I believe if you don't have the means to raise and bring a child into the world, then you should NOT be able to give birth. I also know about the issues against abortion. The religious issues and the issue of does this mean it is manslaughter has all been brought as arguments against it. I'm okay with abortion regardless of if you can afford it or not. Do I think it's wrong? No.

Especially men,

I don't think men should have any input into why a woman should not be able to have an abortion.

I disagree here. Only reason why I disagree is because it takes two to make a baby. The man should get at least a say about what should happen

I understand your point of vieuw, but I think in some situations it must be allowed.

For example, if you are a girl, and you were raped by a random person, got a trauma of it, and then you hear you are pregnant.

What should you do?

 

Uh.. put it up for adoption?

Uh.. put it up for adoption?

So after that traumatic experience of the rape, you would want her to have the baby to remind her of what she's been through?

I'm undecided on abortion, I agree with it because on the one hand it supports killing babies, however I don't agree with it because it also gives women a choice. 

Laws are often contradictory.

 

A fetus is little more than tissue. Being the same species does not qualify you for being-hood (i believe that is what they term it).

 

What really sets us apart from animals is the ability of meta-cognition (thinking about thinking). We know we are sad. We also know why we are sad and what makes us sad; we know why it makes us sad and so on. We can manipulate thoughts in a way that is unknown in the rest of the animal kingdom. I do not think they use that term to set the standard though. They use viability... so.. which is somewhere around 24 weeks or something? not sure

 

There are things to remember. You are assuming that that baby will be born and not still birth. You make man assumptions when you assume that you are taking a human life. It is a fetus. Also, I do not value the fetus more than a fully fledged human being i.e. mother and father (or just mother under the law). There is also an economic benefit to abortions. We spend so much money in USA on entitlements to the permanent underclass. Abortions are cheaper. Call me inhumane or whatever, but facts are facts. It may not be the childs fault for being born but its not my fault and I should not have to feed it against my will.

 

I'm in favor of making laws based on evidence and not beliefs. Although I personally would not have an abortion, I would not stop someone else.

 

I feel that abortions should be available for rape victims, but not for other cases.

I believe that Abortion is wrong in nearly every occasion. The fact that people say that it violates Woman's right to ban abortion is completely laughable. Some people even call it just a "glob of tissue". Disgusts me. Not even going to stick around with disgusting people on this thread.

Uh.. put it up for adoption?

Sure. Because their are definitely not millions and millions of kids in orphanages.

Sure. Because their are definitely not millions and millions of kids in orphanages.

Because their are definitely not lots and lots of orphanages. Either way, are you saying it's better off to kill them?

So after that traumatic experience of the rape, you would want her to have the baby to remind her of what she's been through?

To not end that baby's life? Your reasoning is ridiculously bad. At least it's bearable with pro-choice people with a sense of intelligence.

Its not killing babies. It is killing/terminating/ending or whatever you want to call it on a fetus.

 

And because there are definitely not lots and lots of orphanages that are overfilled and understaffed. Get real. You do not possess a moral high ground in that aspect for being pro-life. There are things worse than death. For example, many people in this country are afraid of public speaking over death.

In my opinion, torture is worse; unending torment, pain and suffering is worse then death. I am sure most would agree with that too.

And fiscally speaking, it is better. We are overpopulated anyway.

Other than that I'm Against.

I was pointing to the foetus. If someone was raped and wanted an abortion. They should be allowed to. They had no choice in the matter of being impregnated.
