Abortion: For or Against?

I am completely neutral about abortion for myself- it would depend on the circumstances. However, I believe every woman has a right to choose, and I think abortion clinics should remain open so that women will be able to do it safely, instead of possibly dying or becoming infertile.
"Love is not about what you are expecting to get- only what you are expecting to give."

Definitely support any decision a woman makes, and will fight for abortion rights to the death.

(There seems to be alot of people here that are overly concerned about the welfare of the aborted foetus that hasn't even been born yet, but not the welfare of the mothers who have to carry the child, go through labour, cope with and provide for the child afterwards? Where do they come into this?)


you see selfishness is the main reason why you never understand the real meaning of love and sacrifice. if you only think about yourselves and what other might think of you this would really make you more lesser than what you really are, if you give a chance for others like the BABY to have his life in this earth in account of your so called WELFARE, you'll later will find out that true CHARITY is the only reason why theres true love hwen this things doesnt exist in your heart, your not even an bad person but deep inside you is nothing but a SELF CENTEREDNESS person,

take a look on the better side, hardship in life is part of our growing up, and learning giving A CHARITY to other most importantly to the child who has your genes can make this world and your life better, atleast when you past this life your proud to say you did the right thing than regret in the end.

CHARITY is LOVE PROLIFE is CHARITY + LOVE

ABORTION = SELFISHNESS, lack of charity PRO ABORTION is EVIL

Abortion may be morally wrong; Women who have had the procedure aren't sat there thinking to themselves how great they are for terminating a pregnancy. However, imposing restrictions on the right to do what you want, when you want with your own body is also very wrong. Abortion was illegal, and look how that turned out. Women of all ages died from infections due to careless back street abortionist that had no idea what they were doing. This way, not only was a pregnancy lost, but the woman carrying the fetus was also lost. I don't understand how people can be so 'pro-life' and only care about the fetus, not the Woman who is actually a person living their life. Tell me, is that really pro-life?

You should never judge another till you have walked in their shoes. And no, I do not mean that just because you have found yourself pregnant, that this gives you a right to judge a Woman who has decided to go ahead with an Abortion. Each story is unique and different, therefore, who are we to dictate what a person must do when like I've stated, we don't understand how they're feeling, or what they have been though?

Do I agree that Abortion is used as a method of birth control? I certainly do not, but I'm also very much against taking away a Woman's right to do what she wants with her OWN life, and body for that matter.

I am going to be very, very blunt, and this may disturb you. Don't like it? Don't read it.

I am pro-legal-abortion. I am pro-choice. I can't stand that "My body, my choice" crap because it is not just your body, but I do understand that women choose it for a great many reasons.
Is it right or wrong? We can talk till we're all blue in the face and never come up with one answer or another.
Should it be legal? Yes. Without a doube, yes. If it's not, women will do it anyway. Legallity has never stopped anyone from doing anything before.
Would you rather go with someone to a clean, safe clinic where she'll be well taken care of, or find her dead in a puddle of blood with a coat hanger (or similar) between her legs? Either way, she has made her choice.
There is no reason to call a woman a babykiller. Yeah, if someone is considering it and you don't agree, let them know, but don't be a jerk about it. It is not an easy choice, and the last thing a woman in that position needs is to be made to feel like the scum of the earth because she made a decission for reasons you may not even know.

im tolerant although i wouldnt have one myself.

A key point of the film (and in reality) is that abortion exists, has existed in most cultures and at most times in history. The decision is whether or not we want safe, respectful, fully advised abortions or dangerous, back-alley procedures that put women and everyone involved at risk. It's a relatively simple equation, actually. I don't think you'd find too many people "for" abortion in and of itself. What they would be for is keeping government out of the personal lives of its citizens. This, of course, is a completely Conservative position..

My personal rule of thumb is that if you are anti-choice but have not yet adopted at least one child, then your vote doesn't count.
