Pro-choice.

I would have one if I were to get pregnant now. It would kill me inside, but I wouldn't be able to provide for my daughter and another child, too.

i think that abortion should only be allowed to people who get raped.  

 
seriously, theres no reason to get it otherwise,
if you have sex and dont use protection and you get knocked up then your stupid ass should be taking care of that damn kid.

 
OR GO GET THE MORNING AFTER PILL.

 

come on people. its just birthcontrol, its not that hard to use.



1. How would you prove rape before the time limit to abort is up?

2. NO form of birth control is 100%

3. The morning after pill is a very high, very concentrated dose of hormones and taking it more than once a menstrual cycle is not recommended.

4. If a woman already has a child she is struggling to provide for and is accidentally impregnated, should she further impoverish the child she already has to provide for this unwanted pregnancy?

Pro-choice.

You try telling a raped woman that she has to keep, feed, support, nurture and love a child she never wanted. All on her own.



Not necessarily.

Why add the psychological and physical problems that are associated with abortion be added to those of rape? Why not just put the child up for adoption?

What of the psychological and physical problems that come along with pregnancy and childbirth?  It can be traumatic enough all on its own, and obviously rape is incredibly traumatic.  Combining the two is simply too much for some women.  No one should be forced to go through all that.

Why add the psychological and physical problems that are associated with birth and giving it away? when you could just have an abortion?

It is hard to explain.
I am, generally, pro-life - however, I know that girls will end up doing it themselves, so much like my hatred for guns and murder, I know it won't go away.

I also have a deaf brother.  Stem cell research could fix his ears, give him his life back.  He loves music, and he will never really know what his idols (Beatles) sound like.  If I could give him one thing, new ears would be that.  It is hard to be against something that could give him a second chance.

Something for the pro-lifers to chew on:

The pro-life position generally relies on saying all human life is sacred. Any definition of "human life" broad enough to include from the moment of conception onward has to cover a lot more ground than I think most pro-lifers intend.

The most obvious ones are that you cannot be for the death penalty, war, or pretty much any kind of violence, no matter the justification- you're already ignoring justification for abortion if you're firmly pro-life, you can't pick and choose.

But honestly, if you're saying that the death of a clump of maybe 12 human cells is equivalent to murdering a fully grown human being, then a guy masturbating is also equivalent. Cutting yourself on a knife or something becomes equivalent to accidently killing a fetus.

If you try to say that it's different because the fetus has potential future value, then you're making a totally different argument, and no longer saying that human life is intrinsically valuable. Granted, potential future value is a much better argument, though still flawed when it comes to the first couple months of pregnancy.

No rational argument will net you that abortion is always wrong from conception onwards. Not one. Not even if you make allowances for rape/life of mother/etc.
