Life can get better so abortion is a bad idea

I don't believe abortion should be legal. Now, I know anyone who reads my answer is pro-choice will disagree. Okay, that is fine. But please don't attack me for disagreeing with you. I can't imagine what it would be like to be raped, and then find out one is pregnant. In this case, if she had an abortion I think both her and her baby would be victims. However, I have read of many women who are open about why they aborted their baby. And one lady, I swear I'm telling the truth, had an abortion because she had just moved into a three story building with no elevator (I read her own account in a book), just stairs. She was married with one child already, and the new pregnancy was unexpected. The final draw for her was the thought of going up three flights of stairs. I'm not casting judgment on anyone. But I don't believe abortion is okay.

I don't think abortion is a good idea because technically speaking it is still killing a life. But then, while we are respecting to the rights of the baby to come to this world, should we also consider the rights of the mother who may not want to take the responsibility at all? I also believe it is irresponsible to get abortion but it would be nothing better if a mother give birth to a baby and let the baby live on his own. So, the question is: do we insist that a lady must give birth to a baby even we know for sure that the lady won't be doing her job to take care of him? For me, I don't have an answer but if I were to choose, I won't go for abortion because I am willing to take the resopnsibility. But that's me and we can't just force it to everyone else.

Hi maximax8! You have given a very positive view on the issue and some of your points are worth considering and could be pondered over. I buy some of your arguments. If a very young girl manages to bring up a kid, she would be able to enjoy her later life, because their age difference being less, they could be good friends. I think in many countries concept of unwed/single parent (either girl or a boy) works and those who are single parent(s) are not looked down upon in their respective societies. However, in our country i.e. India, the concept of single parent is not prevelant in our societies and single parents are looked down upon, therefore, if a unwed girl gets preganant here, she is advised to go for an abortion, so that she could live in our society peacefully.

I agree that abortion is a BAD idea! Honestly I think that if a girl or a woman thought to herself what if I were to get pregnant this time then their would be a lot less unwanted babies, abortions, etc in this world. Plus the average age of losing your virginity would go from 12 back up to 17 or 18. I also believe their are other choices for an unwanted child ... giving it up for adoption is probably the best thing you can do. Look how many infertile couples their are out there who would LOVE to have that baby, raise it, and be it's parents.

I think it depends on each individual situation and it is a hard subject to generalise on. What one person my be able to cope with another may not not matter what their age. x

If you don not want to have a baby,please take some measures when you are in that moment.

Max, I think you know my views on abortion, having been personally involved in the issue many years ago. I think you are being very kind to the male partner involved by only using "nasty," I can come up with many more descriptive, more fitting adjectives, but I'm sure myLot would not allow them. These individuals should stop and think for a moment, it is not only an issue for the girl, but it is also their flesh and blood that they are depriving life. I know, and often I wonder how my life would have been more fulfilling if I hadn't let my wife, her mother and grandmother, force me into signing that document. They conned a doctor into believing that if she had our third child it would affect her mentally. Well, I can assure you the issue did affect me, and I regret it. I hope all men who force an abortion on someone they impreginated, feel sorrow in year after.

Hi maximax8, I don't believe in abotion, contraction is free and they should have used it, so it not the baby's fault to be conceive, if they can lie down and concieve, then they are capable of looking after the child. Tamara

i am against abortion, i have once had a friend who had an abortion, i adviced her a lot not to go with, instead helping her to become healthy for her baby. but then i realized and never knew that she had it aborted without my knowledge, i hate her for doing it, in know until now, she carry the big weight of sin about it, because that is a sin.
