Abortion

PO1987> Well, what DO you think?
Take a stance... read the replies, THEN rethink your position if someone has convinced you otherwise...

One thing is not having ones mind made up on all topics in the world. It's something else NEVER to say straight out what YOU think.

So don't be so sensitive: No one is picking on you, asking a question does not constitue picking.

if i were to rate myself i would say that im in the middle. i dont think females should go out there having abortions all willy nilly n' shit, but if i was a girl and i was raped, i would probably consider it, but if i was raped by a family memeber or something its "bye bye baby" lol

Not whilst it is legal for her to do so. But I would be sympathetic to efforts to change or modify the parameters of that law.

As I mentioned a long time ago, the situation in which I believe it is right to override the woman's choice is if it is murder. Some people don't believe it is murder and some do, but that is the crux of the point for me- hence, choice is irrelevant. If it is not murder, then it is not even an issue. If it is murder, then even her own choice cannot make that right.

Good job! 😉

and they are allowed to obviously. I am just saying that i am against abortion. I mean like you said, If the mother might die because of the child, then yes she should have an abortion, but i think that's the only time it should be allowed.

Exactly! 😱

All right, here goes. I am against abortion, because it is taking the life of another, it's the same as murder, it's just legal.

There I made up my mind, are you happy?

And in the case of incest?

I don't see why incest in itself should necessarily be a taboo - look at the Pharohs of Ancient Egypt.

Ditto here - wow, Ireland might not be much better off than the UK on that one minute detail.

I am a Pro-lifer.

PO1987> Why should I be happy? Why should you care what I think? It's your stance and your opinion - (shrugs)

It was you who told me to make up my mind and all that stuff, that's why i though you should be happy, but whatever.

i'm pro-choice.

however, i am strongly against partial birth abortion, unless
the life of the mother is at stake.

what the world needs less of is unwanted children

I am pro-life all the way. However, who am I to tell some woman to keep her child if she doesn't want it? She will just have to live with the fact she ended a life that could have been the next doctor to cure cancer or the next scientist to develop a better mode of transportation.

Up to me, if I were to get a woman pregnant, and I wanted the child, it should be illegal to have the abortion if a loving parent is there.

It should be illegal to force a woman through a pregnancy she doesn't want. You want a child, you get ovaries implanted, and you go through the pain of pregnancy. Until then, the woman has the ultimate choice.

^ I liked that post. A woman's burden.

I am pro-choice. Even if I am not going to act on it, I would like for that option open to me for anything unforseen. But I also think that while that is available, I would like for there to be more education and preventative measures, and protection from it's abuse. As to what these things are...?

I am all for 'if the life of the woman is at stake' and 'its her choice'. However killing an undefensive infant inside of her? Doesnt abortions cause inflictions on the mother? Its her fault that she went sleeping around, especially to the younger aged women.

We live in a sad world.

idk u guys but do u care if i join

Abortion should be illegal everywhere, its plain stupid in my opinion, i mean..killing something that someday might have changed the world, killing something that god created <my beliefs> , and its just plain wrong.

what about rape? or if you knew the child would live its life in excruciating pain because of a disability?

Lost> What is so stupid about abortion, that you want to force your opinion on everyone in the world? “Killing something that someday might have changed the world”… How do you know that? What about the woman. What if she was destined for greatness, but had to skip it because she had to change diapers?

And since you cannot prove that some supernatural being created ANYTHING, why not simply say “I’m against abortion, but each to her own?” I’d never force my view on abortion on anyone…

My belief also, I just don't get why someone would want to kill an innocent baby. Theres was a girl last year at my sons school, that got pregnant, her parents were so upset, they MADE her get an abortion, now their daughter has to live w/that the rest of her life (the thought and guilt of killing her baby). I know there's rapes that take place and NO ONE plans that, but i still disagree w/abortion, no matter the circumstances.
