i feel that abortion should not be legal after 20 weeks of pregnancy. This is because after this time the baby does have a viable chance outside the womb and i feel that after this point in the pregnancy if someone has carried the fetus this far to term, they should be willing to accept the consequences of their actions. While i agree that abortion should be a choice for the women, i do not agree with the act. i do not feel that it is humane to jam a pair of scissors into a helpless little baby's skull. if there were more humane ways to carry out the procedure i probably would not be so uneasy about the concept. i also believe that everyone deserves a second chance, especially if they are faced with an unwanted pregnancy due to rape or incest, and in this case, abortion should be an opportunity granted a last opportunity.

oh boy.. the last one i replied too i got alot of things said too me.
my thing is about this is, yes to me it is if a female use it just because she got pregrant, because her and the guy couldn't or didn't use birth control.
but to me, if she was rape, that is still up in the air how i feel about that, i know it would hard to keep a baby from rape, but there is still adoption she could do.which is much better. but that subject would be hard for me to say since i am a guy and never been rape.
but if the baby has an illnesss and if it would be born and wouldn't have a good chance at life to be normal then i could see where it might be fot the best. insread having a baby who could live a normal life

Ya it's one type of murder,I would like to never support abortion with any situations .It's very very crucial thing.But your cause think about it's necessary or unnecessary.I think it is necessary why because in society so many things are now days also that's way abortion is necessary.OK Have a nice day.Take care of it.

I would never have an abortion because it would be the wrong choice for me. I believe life begins at conception and a fetus or baby is an innocent one that doesn't deserve to be aborted. Many ladies regret having an abortion and get some get depression years later. Sadly abortion is legal up until 24 weeks pregnancy in my home country. In some other countries there is legal up until 12 weeks pregnancy. Given that a lady can find out she is pregnant at 4 weeks with a pregnancy test that limit is reasonable. I think that a lady getting pregnant through rape or incest is really sad. Adoption will always be a superb choice and I wish it was more popular. One lad I know about had tried to get pregnant for seven and a half years. Then a scan showed me is expecting Siamese twins. The hospital suggests she has a termination. I imagine that she will let her babies be born and then die a few hours later. The poor lady is in an impossible situation and she has values similar to my own. Abortion up to 9 weeks can be two pills after that I think the surgical procedure is horrible and inhumane. I can't imagine why anyone would want to work as an abortionist.

yes abortion is a murder, if i'm not wrong, it's already have a life after 12 weeks of pregnancy.. it's depends on the purpose of the abortion, i'm agree if the abortion is because medical necessary (because of some case the baby will not survive after the birth)
