Abortion??

Let me know what you think.

This is a very difficult topic to discuss. It most often turns into a brutal debate much like that of many religious topics.

Hahaha, why would you have a pic of boobs as your avatar? Man...

Abortion should be left up to couples, not to some other group of people who have nothing to do with each individual's sex lives, consequences and decisions.

Ah, i love the smell of napalm, um i mean debate in the evening. i could smell a topic from the login screen.

My opinion, i emphasize that, is that abortion is wrong times ten. it may have been "unwanted" (shame on you) it may have been a "mistake" (no baby is a mistake) but to deny that child life, to deny it freedom, a choice to be what it can be.

a denial of that child's life is, damnable, it's wrong, someone thought you were good enough to keep around, would your opinions on abortion be the same if you were chosen to be aborted? no, because you wouldn't be here

She could put the child up for adoption, anything is better than having it sucked out be a vaccuum

I think the consequences of abortion far exceed the consequences of any pregnancy, old or young.

It doesn't matter whether she's too young or not. life was never fair, i've never seen a written document stating that it was.

things happen, but are we going to deal with that or are we going to take the easy way out? what is right and what is easy?

If i'm not mistaken, don't you need parental consent if you are a minor to get an abortion in America these days?

If so, it really wouldn't be the 14 year old child's choice to make. If it was caused by unprotected sex than shame on her for engaging in that risky activity in the first place. If it was caused by a rape, than it is mostly up to her family to decide what is in the best interest for their child.

I think that abortion is one of the worst things that can be done know matter the situation. If you think your big enough to have sex then you should be 'big' and responsible enough to take care of a child. That's a risk you take when you agree to have sex. Though, in the instance of rape, I still believe it's wrong. Even though most times the person doesn't get pregnant it can happen. That baby would still be half yours. And even if you didn't think you were ready to care for a child their are many loving families in this world that would love to adopt a baby. Why punish an innocent baby so that you can have what is best for YOU? I don't find that fair. The way they do abortions is just so disgusting, especially as the pregnancy progresses. I have done a lot of research on the topic. In my opinion is horid and it shouldn't even be allowed.

'Drunken mistakes' -- well don't allow yourself to be in that kind of situation.

You're wrong, we can accomodate all we want but unless we draw a line somewhere everything will just get worse.

no one deserves to be rejected the gift of life, no matter what happened. it's not that child's fault the mom got raped, adoption isn't a bad thing.

I would rather live a "mistake" as you call it than not live at all.

if i were born a "mistake" then that would only deepen my resolve to be the best i can, to show that i can move mountains where kids who were not "mistakes" couldn't.

War is a scourge, especially an ujust one. but atleast those who died have lived, they choose to fight.

we (united states) have had wars against the native americans that led to the death of women and children, and they are blots on our character.

but instead of living with the wrongs why don't we do something about it.

that's why america had slavery for so long, the south wanted their slaves, the north didn't. but everytime a propposal was made the south reminded the north that although they had no slaves, they carried the slaves from africa, the slaves blood was on their hands too

No, i just didn't realize you posted so quickly

When you kill thousands to protect millions from a dictator as in world war II with hitler, it is for a much better cause than killing one off for your own personal relief

Shame on the person who thinks that an abortion can protect a family. pride, vanity, useless

So, if my neighbor gives the rest of the neighborhood a bad name by doing perverse things in our eyes it's alright to take him out back and kill him?

abortion is a nice word for murder, or extermination if you prefer, or how about homicide. that child may not be alive yet as many people do argue but they have a chance, and they should have a choice.

who are we to play God, deciding who lives and who dies, i guiess we should give those doctors the medal of honor for their gallantry right?

The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic"

joseph stalin

that one baby will soon turn to millions of babies, and it isn't just statistics. if that baby is such a pain then why don't we see that family banding together all the more?

or here's a thought why don't they just put the child up for adoption if it is such a heavy burden to carry

Abortion should never be a reasonable perspective. when it begins where will it end? when you set the beast free how long before it consumes us all?

we are trotting on dangerous ground and i fear you supporters are breaking the foundation from which we stand

you risk sure footing for a convenient removal of burdens

But, my dear sir that is my argument, it's life. and their blood is on the hands of the aborters as well as the abortion supporters

It's good to know how to debate, but it is more important to know why to debate.

There's always another option outside of the usual tunnel vision that everyone uses

I agree, an awkward change

Personally, I'm against it. There are so many wonderful couples who would readily adopt an unwanted child. unless there is a serious health issue to consider then, I'd recommend placing the child for adoption. the whole system has changed since the days of nightmare stories one may hear. The mother could actually have a part in the child's life if they chose to or at least they could have the satisfaction of knowing there child will have the best of chances at life if they couldn't give that to them..

I think it depends on how far the developement has gotten. If its right at the begining and barely even there or not really there at all then sure but if your stomach is expanding and it's basically grown then f*~$# no. It's like how people step on bugs but don't hurt dogs because not only are they bigger but they're loved. The smaller and less developed the more likely something is killed.

See on this situation its a tough one for me.. i absolutely HATE abortions.. no doubt about it.. i probably would call myself a murderer if i were to get one... because that is all i was doing.. then again people say when they are young they should still have it and give it up for adoption.. im completely against giving kids up for adoption also... i mean once i get older i REALLY want to adopt a kid.. but i would feel horrible making my child go through an adoption because of a mistake i made.. and after 9 months i would be WAY too attached to give my child away to another family...

Are you making fun of my answer?

just wondering?

Why is this topic even still going?

Everyone is gonna either agree or disagree with it.

There's how we feel about it.

End of story.
