There seems to be many reasons why abortion is wrong: medical, religious, philosophical.
Personally, I think that abortion should be up to the mother. There are important reasons why a child should not be brought into the world depending on the circumstances the mother is in at the time. If a woman falls pregnant from a rape, or is underage, cannot support a child finacially, or knows the child is severly disabled; these are the only reasons that should allow it.
If the mother becomes pregnant due to her own error of not using contraception, then I think that abortion shouldn't be an option unless the above factors are implicated.
Since I am not capable of giving birth, I should not dictate to anyone who is physiologically capable of doing so...I believe it is a woman's right to decide for herself. As for whether I am against abortions or not isn't important, my beliefs should not impede upon another person's right to make a decision that they believe is best for their situation. I know of many people who are pro-choice and who are for abortions, and some who have had or have a partner who had an abortion, and excellent ballot question by the way. Personally I haven't given a thought to what my personal opinion is, against or for, it really doesn't matter.
If it were a woman carrying my child, I would plead with her to have the baby, but I would understand if she opted for the abortion. For all that is said about the "wrongness" of abortion, I find it interesting verging toward amazing that most of those voicing opposition to the procedure are men, who have never had to cope with the daily process of pregnancy. I've had a peripheral link, having three sisters who's been pregnant, and that was, on some days, a slice of Hell on a sharp stick inserted in the eye. I've said this before, and here it is again. The day that science allows a man to become pregnant, when a man has to cope with the loss of his mobility, his lifestyle (being unable to pop out with the boys for a night on the town, et al), not to mention the utter joy of passing an object the size of a watermelon through an orifice the size of a grapefruit, abortion will not only be legal, but a growth franchise industry. Scoff if you like. Just walk in those shoes, then say otherwise.
I would never want to murder my own child, but its not my decition to make for others.

Truth: while I'm not opposed to abortion I'm going to have to disagree with your reasoning. Would you say that in any vote concerning the draft all female senators should be required to sit on the sidelines and be quiet, because women aren't the ones getting drafted?
Or should only the elderly have a say in social security, or the poor with welfare, or any number of examples?
abortion is between a woman and her doctor. period.
period? I don't think there would be a need for an abortion with a period
lol
Abortion is murder but murder isn't always wrong.
umm thc2883 remind me never to get on ur bad side :p
Think about it. Would it have been wrong to kill Hitler?
Whether one thinks of it as a procedure or a woman's right, no one ever really knows the truth until they are put in that position. Only then will you really know how you feel about it.
thc hitler was given a choice just like everyone else no one forced him into killing millions of people.
I do not agree with abortion nor will I ever, Did you know that they once used clothes hangers for abortions? Most often the woman would get sick from it but they would rip the baby out with a hanger! Nope I see nothing good about it and I'm sorry for all the ladies who have been raped but you can always give the child up and still let him/her live.
I always prefer to stay away from such extremes as "never" or "always" with respect to moral issues; abortion included. The main problem I have with abortion is the way it's used as simply a (late) form of contraception. When women start having unprotected sex simply because they know even if they did get pregnant they can have an abortion (which does happen) then I think it's being seriously abused
I am not against it completely, there are medical and ethical reasons for having an abortion (preferably with better equipment or techniques than a coat hanger). For example, doctors can identify situations where a woman continuing with a pregnancy will result in both the woman AND the child dying. in such a situation I see no issue with "killing" the child who was going to die anyway, to save the mother
tricky area though, 'always' will be I think
hey jappy, I had a PERIOD once and guess what??? I was PREGNANT!!!I beleive is is a woman's choice,along with her doctor's ok.. and also, if a woman was raped, she should have the right to make that decision!!
I am pro-choice and I stand by it, however, if u do not want a baby,use a condom,(or other form of b.c.)or simply keep your legs CLOSED!!
