I think it should be legalized because if not people will still do it and they will do it illegally and they will do it in some sleazy abortion clinic with bad hygiene and without the proper medical background.. I think though if abortion were to be legalized there should be a psychiatrist at all times guiding them for several weeks before the abortion and after..

I don't like abortion because is distorying of life, rather I would encourage the use of condom and other contraception ealier on...but as long as the baby has been formed it is killing and God commanded us not to kill.

When I have discussed abortion with others, I seem to reach a main difference: many think life begins during fertilization, approximately 7 days after sex has taken place. However, others (including myself) think life starts when the sperm reaches the egg and a zygote is formed. That time difference makes some support abortion within the first few weeks of pregnancy.
I think this issue was raised earlier on the thread, but when do you think that a human is "alive"?

If people cannot raise it, then it is morally wrong to have it! But, I think that is should be up to the mother to decide. (Pro-Choice!) |

I think abortion is first degree murder. You are killing another human being who has a right to live just like you. A more moral choice would be putting the child up for adoption.

Lol yeah, actually murder is the same in all cases, no matter HOW you got pregnant. Not that I am totally against abortion though, maybe I was before. But now, I'd do it for very specific reasons, like extreme poverty or when you know for a fact that the child will die as soon as he or she's born, etc. But not for rape. Simply because you were "traumatized for your whole life" and all the deal doesn't change the fact that you have a valuable human being inside of you that wants to live, too. Just stating what I feel ! |

I really don't like abortion, but even if it was illegal people would still do it - possibly putting their own lives in danger. Europe has the lowest abortion rate in the world - despite abortion being legal, but in Africa, Latin America and the Carribean, where abortion is restricted, there is a much higher rate of abortion. There is also research showing that giving people financial help greatly reduced abortion rates. I think it's really important to try and prevent the reasons that people have abortions, rather than just making them illegal. Maybe if pregnant women had more support - financially, emotionally etc. then abortion rates would decrease. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I'm really bad at articulating what I'm trying to say. |

Jerry.
Abortion should not be legalized under any circumstance. if it should, then it should only be made to suit people who for medically proven reasons wil be critically at risk if the child is not aborted.
Today we look around and admire the lives of great people in our society. Have one ever thought and analyzed what would had happened to the society and the world at large if such people were aborted?
let's all join hands find solutions to this act.

The problem is, there aren't enough solutions. Why should a young teenage girl (who's boyfriend left her) have to take care of a baby that she can't take care of surpass her goals and education in life?

It's not really a decision anyone should have to make. Even if abortion solves the problem of raising a child they feel unable to, they still may feel guilt or suffer emotional, psychological or health problems relating to having an abortion. I doubt many people are really overjoyed about having an abortion, it just seems like the best (or only) choice. I don't like abortion, and that is why I'm volunteering on a number of projects trying to reduce teenage pregnancy, I don't want anyone to be put in that position.

We have no idea the circumstances that apply to each woman deciding to get an abortion, therefore I believe making a decision for her is wrong. For example if rape was the case I, personally, see no reason why she should be forced to give birth to the baby if she (understanding that it in no way is the baby's fault) is uncomfortable. Also a mother should be able to decide if the baby will benefit from simply living, based on the current circumstances in which the baby would be born.
I understand and respect why people would disagree with me, however in my view the choice should be up to the woman, not those around her.
