Seriously. If a woman wants to abort, then fucking let her. You don't have any right to tell her that she can't do what she thinks is right.
Condoms split, pills don't always work.
I'm pretty sure I've posted in this forum already....

I'm Pro-choice to an extent.

After the 2nd trimester it's iffy for me. I refuse to believe you hadn't made up your mind in that many weeks if you wanted a child or not.

Other than that kill what you want, but don't use an excuse to fuck to find someone to love you and then complain b/c you once again got knocked up.

It shouldn't be used as birthcontrol, but it should be used to keep certain people from breeding.

I couldnt agree more! Some people are like a plague to our world. A plague worse than the black death. Most of these are uncultured, unthinking philistines incapable of individual thought. If we could remove these people, the world would be so much better.

Like a certain woman whose family is on TLC for having, like, 18 kids or something like that. I don't know about you but if I were her doctor, I probably would've tied her tubes during one of her C sections and not told her...

Are they on any fertility drugs? Or are they just popping out 20 kids one at at time?

Why would I not waste my time? Killing them when they are a fetus is the best time to kill them... nobody will miss them except for their mother, and she is one that decided to do it anyway.

Good for her.

Just say no to ripped saggy vagina and bloody blue babies.

I would never abort my own fetus, simply because I know I would feel guilty about it for the rest of my life.

That could have been my kid, you know?

But I still think that abortion should be legal because people will do it anyways, at the hands of inexperienced practitioners and at higher risk of malpractice. Under such circumstances, you wind up with a lot of the mothers dead as well as fetuses.

Hmm...maybe some people would see that as justice?

That is how I feel about unborn creatures - they have absolutely no value to me. You have your opinion, I have mine. Why does everything have to be "offensive or edgy" with you silly little goths?

If a mother had a child that was the result of ****, then she should be allowed to abort if she wanted. Imagine the kid finding out; or it could grow up with the mother resenting it.

People that have unwanted pregancies, and don't have the money to support the children should abort as well, or use protection. Even then, there's always a chance that the contraception fails; and there are families that keep on having more and more kids they can't afford, so they get benefits which are paid for by people that do have a job. There is also a culture in parts of the UK for teenagers to get pregant, quit school and live off the state whle doing nothing with their lives. I know some might want to go back to school, but don't have the support, however these people are few compared to the majority. The kids that are brought up by them are more likely to grow up as petty criminals and then the cycle continues.

In a worst (or best) scenario, depending on your views, some people should not be allowed to have children.

The problem that I have always seen with this issue is the fact that it has no place in politics. It has no place as an issue, either. Legally, a child that is still in the womb, if unable to survive if disconnected from the mother, is considered both an extension of the mother and as a parasite feeding on the mother. Does the removal of a tapeworm or a non-essential internal organ also count as murder? One must also take into account the many cases in which young girls are ***** and left pregnant. At an age like that, natural childbirth would quite literally rip the mother in half. On the other hand, a Cesarian Section is one of the most expensive medical procedures that can be performed. If the family has no money, yet don't want their daughter to die, the only logical action is to get an abortion, which is considerably cheaper than the alternatives.

To go along with the appendage theory, does nobody have a say in what they can do to their own body? What if the mother never wanted a child? To put a child up for adoption is to leave it in the care of less-than-kosher caretakers until they are old enough to understand that they were unwanted, thus living the rest of their lives feeling abandoned, inferior, and undeserving. In the end, they may end up wishing they'd never been born anyway.

I feel that abortion should be legalized completely for the people who don't want a child. If you feel that the child was 'murdered', then you can go have a child yourself. Leave the politics of the Bible out of it. Live and let live.

Murder is just another way of saying kill but aside from its' meaning it has an intention; trying to help convince us a collective species and community that we're above primal instincts and some higher form than the rest of nature.
Aha! But there is a reason for killing within our species!

Simply put, there are too many of us and we have no more natural predators. Evolution occurs in the mind as well as the body. We're being slowly hardwired into becoming our own predators.

Simply put.

When the fetus is truly viable. Otherwise every miscarriage is a death.
Until then, it is a parasite.

In Australia at least, no. It would be infanticide. This has a 1/5 of the penalty of murder, clearly indicating a difference in the view between fetus and person. Hell, this would apply up to 12 months.

This is why, regardless of whether it is "murder" or not, I am okay with abortion. Which is worse for a person, being killed before consciousness develops, being left in a dumpster (with the ability to feel pain), a life the social system (from personal experience, that fucks kids up) or being raised by a mother who a)didn't want or b) couldn't handle a child?

If the mother is not in a situation to handle having a child, and that includes financially, mentally... then it is better imo not to bring a child in to that.

I'd like it called what it is, or could be. The current mishmash of arguments supporting abortion includes the assertion that no life is being taken, which I disagree with.
Do we call pulling life support murder?
