What's your opinion on abortion?

[Starz]

I know a lot of ppl have strong beliefs about this, but please try to be quick and to the point.

1. Do you support abortion?
2. Why or why not?
3. Do you think you'd change your mind if you found yourself in a position where you might have to get one?

[lovesgreys6789]

1)100% yes
2) A women is in charge of her own body therefore is in charge of all the decisions regarding it.
3) I would get one if it was the best solution (probably that only case would be if I was young and not married)

[5 weeks pregnant #4]

1. None of anybodies business
2 .because it would not matter anyways
3. again same as #1

[me]

i do not believe nor support abortion, because why kill another life and not even give it a chance in the world...and no i wouldn't never change my mind becaus i believe every baby should have a chance to see the world and live in it as long as God wants them to....

[simone]

i support a womens right to have one. but would i ever get one? NO especially not after i read about how they do them (not pleasant) im currently 32 weeks pregnant and im 17 so i obviously couldn't get one 28 weeks ago. i would only get an abortion if it risked my and my child's life. but i would be so horribly devastated afterward i'd probebly curl up in a bed for a good few days

[smilingeyes_momof3]

1) Only in rare cases of forced sex/incest or if mother's life is in danger. But I do support the right to choose...not my choice or government's choice...just I don't personally support it.
2) I believe it is a person's responsiblity to abstain from sex until they are ready to face the consequences...even with birth control we know it can happen so we should be with mates we love where a baby would be a blessing.
3) i think if had conceieved a baby by rape - it would be a very tough decision...and the baby may be impossible to really attach to knowing it is related to a violent criminal. I don't know what I would do...

[Kelsey H]

I support the right to choose. It's a freedom. Besides, outlawing it is dangerous. When it was outlawed before many died from having them done in alleys and attempting them with hangers, etc.

[mommy_of_lil_boy07]

its a baby not a choice..look at is this way...if you could only feel the heart beat like it can clearly feel the one that is beating in you

[TVL]

Support as it is a woman's right. For those women who do not support it, have you ever been raped and wanted to keep the baby? Put yourself in those shoes who have and then think twice.

[MrsSellers]

1. 100% against it
2. my religion teaches that if gos says no, it means no. no matter what MAN says and no matter how PEOPLE will try to justify it, god said no so don't do it.
3. i never have and never will get one. unless i had to, in order to save my life.

[purnimacresent]

1. Do you support abortion?-No, unless the mother and child's lives are at risk(tubal pregnancy, or rare cases of children becoming pregnant and their body is not mature enough to give birth.
2. Why or why not? Because It's life and I don't believe in killing animals to eat so why should I believe in killing a human life? Life is important.

3. Do you think you'd change your mind if you found yourself in a position where you might have to get one?-No, b.c you'd never "have" to get one unless you meet my two conditions. I would never get an abortion. My word means something-I'm a vegetarian who doesn't smoke, or drink alcohal or gamble b.c I think its wrong..so I don't think i'd do something even bigger than those things.

[skay]

1. That is every womens right. To have one or not.
2.Your own choice. I do not judge anyone.
3.Never say never thats why we have choices in this life. It would depend on the situation.

["It's A Girl"]

1. NO
2. It is MURDER
3. I have found myself in a position where I though I was pregnant and it was not the right time, or person. & I was going to keep the baby no matter what because abortion is wrong. Lucky I wasn't pregnant!

Abortion is wrong!!

[Ms E]

i believe the women has the choice to choose because it is the woman's body. i had a pregnancy scare with my current relationship which recently ended, but i took an emergency contraception, Plan B and prevented myself from getting pregnant. but, back to the subject, the only reasons women have it is because they fear risking the child's life in being raised in an abusive home or that they just don't want the baby just yet and aren't financially ready, or don't want one at all. If i were with a good guy, I would because who knows, it might be a blessing.

[Jennifer L]

1. As a general rule, no. I do understand there are some very compelling reasons to have an abortion (rape, incest) and I have great compassion for people in those situations. I would, of course, support abortion for health reasons.

2. Abortion as birth control just doesn't pass the moral gut check for me. I think that our society will later be judged by how we treat our most helpless members. I also think abortion makes life cheap and our children's lives cheaper. Is it any wonder abuse is so rampant when we look at children as disposable? It also bothers me that any time there is an unplanned pregnancy, there are only two options discussed: abortion or parenting. There's a third option: adoption.

3. I was a teen mom and I had everyone and their brother telling me to get an abortion. I didn't. We parented our son and though it was difficult, we have no regrets.

[gr8ful_one]

I believe in a choice....yes
I don't want to see women go back to visiting old store fronts with hangers for getting rid of the results of a lack of good judgment or a rape....
I suggested a family member consider it and now I would lay down my life for that child so Choice is always up to the one pregnant

[memex]

yes i support abortion, i think it is a womans choice and a personal one. I used to be against it unless it was from a rape or mother was in danger, but soon changed my mind when i became pregnant. I have had 2, some people would say its not right but i wasnt in loving relationships and i took precautions both time and both times they failed. Now being in a loving relationship and old enough, i fell pregnant and had a miscarriage, part of me regrets having the abortions now as i know how it feels to really want a little life growing inside me, but on the otherhand i wouldnt be in love and where i am today financially and emotionally. People are quick to put down people on benefits and people with not a lot of money but then they are very quick to tell people not to have abortions. My question is to everyone who is against abortions, when that single mother comes to having that baby, are you going to be the one to support that child and give it what it needs to have a good life, if the answer is no then i think you should keep your opinions to yourself and re think about what you preech. x

[fizzyphoebe]

Take this to the polls section or politics section. It just stirs up controversy and we don't need it here.

[afton-due November 5th :)]

i do not support abortion,
i think if you can have unprotected sex, then its your problem.
not the babies.
now the only case i do believe in abortion is if you were raped,

[bballbrewer21]

1. i believe abortion is ok under certai circumstances:rape, incest, or health concerns
2. i think if you dont want to have a child or cant support or raise a child you should take precautions(unless one of the listed above reasons)
3. no, ive been put in the situation and every1 said i shouldve gotten 1, but im now 36 weeks and cant wait to see my baby girl!
