So I have allways being againts abortion. I believe that everyone deserves the chance to be in this world no matter what the situation is, because if you dont want a kid you can give it to adoption, I bet that there in the world, there is peoplee that are willing to raise that child, and give him everything he/she needs. I respect every point of view though, but for me abortion is a crime.

As I've said before, there are situations that merit an abortion, for instance, a defective pregnancy that can put the mother's life in danger. Of course, that is up to the mother to decide. It is her well-being that is at stake after all. But to do abortion just to avoid responsibility or the lousy excuse that one is not ready financially or emotionally, I think that is just crap. First off, you were ready enough to engage in s e x that leads to that pregnancy, so how can you just turn your back on the consequences? Life starts at the moment of conception, no matter what form the fetus is in, it is still life and if you have the conscience to kill it, then good luck in sleeping at night. I know, getting pregnant without planning for it, especially when you are still young is not easy but do not be so hasty to resort to abortion. It is your own flesh and blood that you're carrying and there are many options out there besides abortion. A lot of people are not blessed enough to have a child and some are willing to do anything to conceive so consider that baby inside you a big miracle. I am glad our country (Philippines) does not support abortion and there is a law against it. Still, there are disturbing news of abandoned fetus everywhere left by their heartless mothers. They might as well be insane to do it.

Totally agree with you. Now I agree that if it's a situation where it could put the mom life in danger I agree on it, but other than that, no way. Thanks for your opinion.

i am guessing for you to be a male to be so against abortion. I am also not against abortion but i can tell you one thing. First : Pregnancy is not such an easy task. What if a lady becomes pregnant and she chooses not to be pregnant. Why cant she have a choice to do what she wants with her body? Second: What if a lady was raped and eventually got pregnant? why should she carry the rapist's chils if she doesnt want to? Doesnt the lady have no right over this matter? The man can always come and rape whoever he wants and its the lady who is left to suffer!! Third: What if having a baby is dangerous to the lady carrying it? There are case when the mother is a chronic heart patient. Doesnt she have a chance to abort the child in that case? Fourth: What if the mother has done ultrasound and comes to know that the baby is deformed? Isnt it kinder to the child to be aborted than to be born deformed in tis cruel cruel world? People can always shout and say its a crime but we should realize that there are cases when it is the only way. In some cases, abortion is NOT a crime, my friend.

Nisha, I have come across a rape victim who got pregnant but decided to continue on with it. She did not regret that decision as the she comes to love the child and appreciate life more after that. I can only imagine what rape victims go through especially when one gets pregnant. That pregnancy bears the remembrance of that horrid and heinous act. But, I think, we ought not to be quick in resorting to abortion because as I've said it is still you're own flesh and blood..It is a difficult decision, I believe, but a strong support from family and friends and a good therapy can get you through that and will eventually bring light to a decision that can best serve your well-being....In cases like this, a family member or a friend plays an important rule and can wield an influence on the decision albeit tiny....

Adding to the pros of abortion , one main thing discussed which has to be appreciated is why should a women carry a rapiest baby and more over it is the whole hearted decision of the mother to decide upon the womb neither her parents nor his husband, The pain during abortion is very much than during delivery
