The truth about abortion

there is so many reason for abortion that you need to know. there is a whole other world and side to this argument. There are many who do not need that child born.. Anyway, you should read some of the blogs posted on this topic. Whether it be pro abortion or not or both

You are right. It's wrong for a mother to basically kill their child. However, when I sat down and really thought about it I knew that if I had ever made the mistake of getting pregnant at a young age my parents would look down upon me, and so I can sympathize with these teenage mothers who seek getting abortions. Instead of judging them and yelling saying this is murder. Think about how they feel and what position they're in. Even though I agree with you, I wonder if I would have the courage it takes to raise a child at such a young age.

yeah i agree that the teenager might not need that baby born, but its kind of her fault for sleeping with a guy and not thinking about the consequences.. But i know what yall mean..

Whenever I think about abortion, I think about rape victims. I do agree that just because you screwed around, doesn’t mean that you should have a free pass at facing the consequences of your actions. However, there are times when I believe that abortion is reasonable; when either or both lives are at stake and when the child is the result of rape.

You really have a lot to learn about abortion, yeah it sounds horrible & really is when you think about it & I totally agree, people who were stupid enough to have sex unprotected & dont want a baby, should not have an abortion because it was there choice. But there are cases where the baby & mothers life are in jepordy, health threats & rape. Rape victims might need to have an abortion, it depends on the situation. I dont think i could ever have an abortion, but until you are in that position, you really never know. :/

Women should have the choice of whether or not they want abortion. If the woman is to be a "mother", she has the rights to decide what to do with her "child's" life, no? Maybe it's horrible to most of us because the media and everything else around us portrays it to be that way. Would you rather have that mother gives birth to her child and abuse the baby everyday? Perhaps the mom might even leave that baby to die in the streets. Trust me, it happened before. Some women intentionally killed their babies that were already born. Either way it doesn't look too good, does it?

ONe of the issues concerning teenagers today is abortion.

Only 19% of abortions are on women under 20. Abortion is an issue for all women, not just teenagers.

Many young girls get pregnant unexpectedly and decides not to keep the baby. So, she gets that little fetus out of her womb.

More than half of women who have abortions ALREADY HAVE A BABY. They know EXACTLY what they are doing.

Do you know what you call this?? This is called MURDER ! The baby in the womb is already human, even though it is not fully developed.

I disagree completely! This position totally disregards women's HUGE nine-month contribution to the creation of life.

It's a human being when it's BORN ALIVE, just like the rest of us.

Why do we charge someone of murder when they kill someone and not a mother who just had an abortion?

Because abortion IS NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN MURDER.

Abortion is not a right of a woman.

Of course it is! When a woman gets pregnant, she is the first person to know. No one else has to know. She can choose to dispose of the pregnancy without anyone else's input. She is the one who decides whether a baby will be born or not, and there's not a goddamn thing anyone else can do about it.

Choose LIFE people. Please. These children are God's creation.

Sorry, not everyone is a crazy right-wing anti-abortion Christian. Most people don't think a fetus is the same thing as a born-alive baby.

In this case, who are you more concerned for?

Because if killing the baby were the problem, then did you think about what kind of life that child could have had if it was born?
A higher percentage of children born to teenage mothers have weight problems, are disformed, or don't life the kind of lifestyle they should (let's say if the mother decides to not give it up for adoption).

At what point is it better to sever the ties between mother and child? Before the baby has formed even so little as a heartbeat or after the child can't walk because he or she was born with leg dysfunctions?

"Why do we charge someone of murder when they kill someone and not a mother who just had an abortion? Isn't it the same exact thing?"

Abortion is not considered to be murder.

"Our politics are our deepest forms of expression, they mirror our past experiences and reflect our dreams and aspirations for the future."

Yep abortion is murder. Murdering a baby is a sin. Abortion is a sin. I wish teenagers would stop having babies. It's stupid. And it irritates me. In the first place, It sucks that they are having a baby, but don't kill it. Dang, it's not the babies fault that the parent has sex and got pregnant. Don't bring something in the world that you're just going to kill.

I love how mediocre your grammar and phrasing is. You'd have made a better point if you had sounded more fluent.

It's not that black and white. What if your life was on the line? Would you try to save your own live or just let yourself and the fetus die? If you can prevent your own death and choose not to, is that the same as committing suicide?

i support the use of abortion because its a personal right. i dont agree with people who use abortion as a means of birth control, but its still their right. i dont believe the baby is a baby until the third trimester, when doctors say that the baby can feel pain. i know that a lot of people disagree with me, and i respect your opinins as i would hope you would respect mine.

if we outlaw abortion, then we are sending a message that we, as a nation, support the restriction of civil rights. you can argue that the unborn baby has civil rights as well, but the baby is not reconized by the government or given an idententy (sp?) until after it is born. also if abortion is outlawed, coat hanger abortions will become very common again and will result in the deaths of many women.

now i leave you with a true event that happened to my mother. she had protected sex with her boyfriend at the age of 15. the condom broke and she got pregnant. she decided to get an abortion, having her boyfriends mom go with her, because she knew that if she told her abusive father that she was pregnant she would get beaten so hard that she would problity loose the baby and then get kicked out. would you say that she cant get an abortion, even though the baby would have died anyway and she would have been severly hurt and thrown out of her house?

Why do we charge someone of murder when they kill someone and not a mother who just had an abortion?

When you kill "someone" (i.e. a legal "person"), your victim's right to life supersedes your right to liberty. When a mother chooses to have an abortion, her right to privacy supersedes the potential right to life that an unborn would eventually have if it grew to the point where it could be considered a legal "person."

Isn't it the same exact thing? It is killing another man's life. Abortion is not a right of a woman. A woman has no right to kill anyone, even her child.

Factually incorrect. Please see the case of Roe v. Wade (1973), which explains in great (and authoritative) detail why you are incorrect.

Choose LIFE people. Please.

Good advice. Many more abortions could be stopped by empowering women to make a different choice, rather than constantly zapping yourself against the Supreme Court's bug-light.

These children are God's creation.

That is of course irrelevant since our Constitution forbids religious establishments in the Law.
