Well at least you accept that it's not your choice to make, unlike some girls on this forum.  

 I've known several women who've had abortions and all of them believe it was truly and exactly the right thing for them to do at that time and have no regrets at all. I guess we just have different experiences.


those bitches are 100% correct

i got pregnant and disposed of the parasite too and i have to say, i felt completely cool with getting rid of the problem. it's not like i murdered a person or anything

abortion FTW


You give pro-choicers a bad name.

They won't view that baby as a parasite when they can't get pregnant later in their life because of their previous abortions.  
If you don't want a "parasite" growing in you, don't have sex.  Very easily preventable.  Even if you view it as a parasite, you are killing a parasite that has the potential and without intervention could or will become a child.

Myth! Abortions have no effect on fertility unless something goes wrong during the procedure.

So people that never want kids shouldn't be allowed to have sex?

Yes, and do you know how often something goes wrong and no one knows about it until they cannot concieve.  A lot.  A placenta can only implant on a part of the uterus that has never been implanted on before.  So if you have multiple abortions it makes it difficult for the placenta to find a clean place to plant.

There are things like birth control to prevent you from having children.  Use them properly, or if you never want children, get your tubes tied.  It's not that hard to prevent pregnancy, but you are taking a risk of creating life and if you are having sex, you should accept responsibility.

Well... Theres still a chance to get pregnant even if you do get your tubes tied so...

Yes, but at that point, you are making an effort to prevent it.  If you get pregnant at that point, accept that you were meant to get pregnant, and if you don't want the child, give it up for adoption.

A couple things here, Glory.

a) I'd like to see a source for this "a placenta can only implant on a part of the uterus that's never been implanted on before" business. I've never heard that before, and it sounds like utter bullshit to me.

b) If you think that things in life were "meant" to happen, then that's your choice. Not everyone believes that, though. A alot of people believe that they have control over their actions and believe in choice of destiny. Some people believe they were "meant" to have an abortion when they did. It's all very individual and personal, and the only person who should be making the choice is the woman who's pregnant.

I'm pro-choice.

Ok, I'm not pro-choice when it comes to people who 'Can't have the baby because I'd booked a ski-ing holiday in a few months.' True case scenario. Though, at the same time, maybe it's best that that woman had an abortion as it would be unfair on the child to have a mother like that.

For me it's a case of life vs. quality of life. I believe life begins at conception, but, I don't see that it's wrong to take away that life when, if the mother were to have the child it could potentially ruin the life of both her and the child, I mean, sure they'd be physically alive, but if it was an unwanted child and the mother was unable to support it, would either of them HAVE a life?

If it's a particularly young mother, if giving birth could kill you, if you were raped, or if, for whatever reason, you are totally incapable of looking after the kid, abortion should be allowed.

I say 'totally incapable', and I mean it. I don't mean, oh, you're not that well off, because if it;s a child you love then you should be able to look after it no matter what, I mean, people have done so throughout history. If you can give it everything it needs (not necessarily what it wants) then you should have it.

I don't think abortion's right, but I do think that, in many cases, keeping the baby is less right. I mean, if I got pregnant, I'd have an abortion. I'd feel terrible about it, (I know a lot of people wouldn't, and fair enough on them) but I'd feel worse if I had the child, as would it.

And as for making it illegal, that's stupid! Even if you're totally against abortion, can't you see that it would still happen? But in ways that would seriously endanger the life of the mother?

Oh, we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted you to know.

I'm pro-choice because I believe that no matter how a woman gets pregnant, if she doesn't want to continue with the pregnancy, then she has the right to abort the fetus.
