I guess the first question you need to ask yourself is when do you think human life begins? Personally I think it begins when human brain function starts.
I work in a restaurant. We add an 18% gratuity onto tables of 8 or more. This one day i asked my manager if i could add gratuity to a 7-person table if one of the woman was pregnant. I was just joking! She joked backed and said that it depended on her religion and when she thought life began. If human life began at conception than I should have added the 18%. HA!

see i know on an airline they do, but typically at restaurants we never have to include the kid, cause he doesn't order a plate, unless they are able to sit and eat and order something, they dont count towards the table total, now that he's getting bigger and eating more, we might, but most restaurants say that it starts when he orders a plate and requires attention like a normal customer.

I think life starts when you are physically born, I mean it's not like your full on thinking and moving around before that.
Personally I am all for abortion. If the mother doesn't feel she's ready for or wnats a child, she should have the right to make the decision. It's better than becoming an unprepared parent. Plus there's just sooooo many people in the world already. I say give adoption a chance, too.

Personally, I don't feel that life begins until viability. Before that, it is just a cluster of cells dividing and trying to make a life. Whne I had a miscarraige, I didn't call myself losing a baby. I felt it was the late onset of a period. No baby involved. Many believe differently. That's their opinion. I have mine and I hope we can agree to disagree.

...My vote goes to pro-choice. I am very religious and I feel a woman has a right to what goes on in her body. I could wish I didn't have an abortion, but I chose to with my third pregnancy. I was high risk both times before and I felt so sick, weak and gestational very early in last pregnancy. I had been advised not to do it again and I felt it was me or the baby. I chose to be around for the first two I had.
...Morn the lose of this baby, I did and still do. It was not an easy choice to make. I just know I was too weak to carry it to full term and care for the two I had.
...This doesn't mean I approve of everyone having an abortion. There is such a thing as birth control. It just didn't work for me x's3! It has to be a personal choice and not done just to clean up a mess made.
...Abortion has been happening for hundreds of years. We have come a long ways. Scientist think herbal remedys were used by cave women. As long as there is a desire to not be pregnant, it is going to happen. I'd rather see it legal and safe than illegal and dangerous.
...Just my humble opinion. Peace be with you. =(^;^)= Della

If human life begins when brain function starts, I know several thousand people who are actually not living xD! So many people do not use their brains... lol
I believe abortion is just like killing another living human being and it should be stopped

I am pro-choice. I think human life begins when there's a heart beat. However, every woman has the right to determine what she wants to do. We were all given free will after all.

If I would ask myself, I would rather not go to the abortion method and theres a way to solve the unexpected pregnancy. Abortion is an absolutely wrong and it is a crime of murder. And absolutely I am not favor for this. And I think the fetus have life and like us she/he have a right to see this wonderful world.

A big fat no to abortion unless its due to rape etc.This throw away society shouldn't extend to life!Plenty of people want to adopt and there's a shortage of children,so if you don't want it don't kill it give it to someone who'd love it.Give it a chance.

I believe human life in embryo begins immediately after newly developed(immature though) heart starts beating..i.e.around @16th week postconception. Everybody should remember conception(i.e.fertilization of ovum) occurs between 1-3weeks after last menstruation.
Personally i believe :`` we condiser abortion any time soon after conception; coz once you seed ( a sperm in case of human) and nature facilitates fertilization;we must consider new life began.``
