What are your feelings on abortion and why do you feel this way?

Question:

Answers:
That is a hard question to answer. Before I had a baby I was all for the woman having a choice, and technically, I still am. After carrying a baby and giving birth, it's hard for me because I know I could never abort. But just because that is my feeling, doesn't make it right or wrong.

I get more upset with all the pro-lifers out in front of clinics, protesting, raising a commotion, etc. I really feel that they could be spending more time doing something really valuable like taking care of the children already born, volunteering for foster care, adoption, the United Way, etc. If a woman is on her way into a clinic, it doesn't mean she is there to have an abortion, and if she is, I doubt that person waving a bible in her face is going to change her mind.

It's a personal decision made by the woman and should remain that way. Nobody has the right to tell someone else what to do with her body.

my feelings are it's on a case by case basis. take a woman who's been raped, if she's forced to have that child she's going to see that man everytime she looks at that child. and the child will be traumatized when they want to know where daddy is. or a drug addict who's going to have a drug addicted child or severely handicapped child and won't take care of it. there are people out there who completely abuse abortions but there are also legitmate cases. you can't make a blanket statement on an issue like that. i agree that it's the woman's choice. I personally don't believe in it. I prefer adoption over abortion but every women has their own choice.

i am pro choice, but I personally would not do it myself. I believe that you play you pay. Some of these s**ts out here go around and spread there legs to every tom, dick, and harry and get knocked up, so they abort it. With so many people out there who can not have children why not give them the gift of a child. I would personally never get an abortion unless under 2 circumstances. I had HIV or I was raped. But people can make their own decisions and I would never frown upon them.

I believe this option should be the womans choice. But I also believe the Lord doesn't give us anything we can't handle.

i agree with the first guy, but if it were me, i wouldn't ever get an abortion! I am totally against it. It is a child, not a choice. A lot of people say "oh , it is up to the woman to do with HER body as she wishes, once she becomes pregnant, it is no longer just HER body. There are so many people out there willing to love and adopt a child, ANY child.......there is never any reason to abort a baby.

I've known women who've had them, and in every case, I supported their decision. It's never a choice I was able to make. There are a lot of variables; if someone is aware that they cannot provide for a child, or get good prenatal care, if the woman is aware of complications in her health or the child's, and personal belief. I am not comfortable with those who choose it as a method of birth control, there are better, less expensive, and less traumatic methods available. It's not for me to say what's right for others, it was just never something I thought was right for me.

pro-choice. a woman should have the right to decide if she wants to be pregnant or not. i think all the old men who are always protesting about it should just shut up because its really none of their buisness. same with women who have never been in that situation.

REMEMBER: abortion is not an issue of whether or not people should have sex...its an issue of whether or not a woman wants to stay pregnant

I truley do not agree with it.
I truley Do believe in a CONDOM!!
If young girls would practice safe sex, how many abortions would we need? If they do get pregnant, adoption is always an option, and a way to prevent the death of a fetus.

Abortion is wrong and right, depending on the circumstance.
For instance...

1. You are sexually abused, you become impregnated, why should you be forced to carry that child as it is already something you will remember and hurt you... this would be a circumstance where it is justifiable.

2. You are young and stupid, and you are running around and happen to get pregnant, that is your responsibility. You should have not put yourself in that place to cause that reaction. Have the child, and if you cant support it, put it up for adoption, as there are many people in the world who cannot have children. This is not justifiable for an abortion.

Personally, I do not feel like it is a choice that I could make but I do not feel like it is my place to make the choice for anyone else either. It is a very personal decision that should not be made until after all options are considered. I think it is wrong. God blessed you with a child you shouldn't throw away his blessing. What if it was you and your mother did it you would not like it. Take a look at this website.
