I just want to know how the world now views abortion. I am just curious enough of the thoughts of others on this. Although I am against it personally, it has been a long time since I have read or heard anything about it now. This is the modern world so I would not know how it thinks anymore. Thanks for responding in advance and you might as well discuss other people's views about abortion as well if you do not want to become too personal on this topic. Have a great day ahead and happy mylotting! :)

I am a female, I think that whatever is for the man or woman, child is a manifestation of the responsibility. When you are pregnant, in considering whether or not to this child, it should ask yourself whether you can assume this responsibility. If the answer is no, then I'd suggested an abortion. If abortion is cruel, it is more cruel is to be it after the baby is born.

You got a point but why get pregnant in the first place when you'll just end up killing an innocent child. Lots of contraceptives out there.

I personally am against abortion. However, I do understand that sometimes, for health concerns, a mother may have to abort a child. I also understand why some girls want to abort a baby. I don't think that we should outlaw abortion though. The worst I've heard is: post-birth abortion. "What is this?" you may ask. Post-birth abortion is when the doctors induce labor on a nearly developed child and then kill it as it leaves the womb. This to me, is horrifying. America in general prides itself on its civility and cultured-ness and yet we murder babies like that. Regular abortion is different in that one doesn't wait until the third trimester to kill the baby. Post-birth abortion should be disposed of.

hi,I do suggest the goverment is supposed to issue a law about abortion that punish those couples who abort their unborn baby in order to prevent some thing happening! I do not know why the increasing rate of the abortion is popular among the students!many students do something not mature without rethinking what will happen,so which led to suchn terribe thing! so i suggest the government should enact law to ban rate increasing!

However, abortion is not allowed. Any religion prohibits abortion, except when forced by consideration of the mother's helth or other medical reasons. Have an abortion the same as murderer.

Abortion is a sin. Because GOD said he wont allow anyone doing that way because even the child is in the womb of her mom the baby is precious to him since the child is his inheritance.

Abortion is a big sin in the sight of God. Be careful in doing that. Abortion is the result of unwanted pregnancy. To be able to avoid on that, do not engage to the person who are not ready to take responsibility. Just be open your eyes to attend some seminar about abortion.

For me, I dont like my girlfriend to do that. It is not good for her. And it is a life for the baby. However, in this modern world, the girls and boys are just for fun to do something wrong. Because they are young, you cant afford a baby. It is hard to say ..., Anyway I think we should educate the children especially for the poor area.

I think that there are times when abortion is necessary. For example, if the pregnancy is going to put the mother's life in danger, I feel that abortion is validated. Abortion for nothing more than the mother not wanting to take responsibility for a baby seems ruel to me. I have always felt that if you are old enough to play, you are old enough to take responsibility for your actions. Even though I do feel that way, I do understand that abortion is a very personal decision. I know women who have had them and have seen how it has effected their lives. I cannot and will not judge a woman for making the choice to have an abortion any more than I could or would judge a woman for having many many kids.

I have never had an abortion and I'm sure I probably could never have done it. However, I do believe every women has a choice and it shouldn't be anyone else decision since it is her body. I don't agree at all when a female will use it as birth control. I find that really disgusting. Anyway that is how I feel about abortion.

Hi.I think abortion is not good to do.It same with kill baby,kill human.Life is choise so when you choose to don't want having baby just take care well your self.Keep health relation.And to husband-wife,there is way to hold it.So,the important is thinking before doing and better to planning.

Ive got diverse views on this matter.For there are abortions being done to save a mother's life and not to intentionally kill the baby.Like for an ectopic pregnancy case.But most of the times abortion is committed to justify some people's imprudence.

Whatever the reason, in my opinion abortion is crime. Even the baby have not born but he/she has a soul... even she/he is 1 day old... he..he... People who doing abortion is same with kill someone... losting someone's soul. So I absolutely do not agree with abortion.

This is a difficult one for me because i really want to say that i think that it is so wrong and that its a life and should have the chance to live! However i also see very very young people having children and i see these children being almost dragged up by just their mother who is barely out of nappies herself! Now this is when i think that it should be considered very deeply and even when they are very underage the descision taken out of their hands! Now i expect people might not agree with this and i see what your saying but i just look around my little home town and see children bringing up children and they just do not know what they are doing as they have not had any life experience theirselves! I could go on with reasons why underage kids should have an abortion but i expect i would bore you, but dont get me wrong if there was another way without abortion, maybe more mandatory support groups/classes rather than just chucking money at them and more laws inplace for the father so that it isnt so easy for them to walk away, im all for it. I hope i havent ranted on too much thanks for your discussion. :)

I won't get too involved in this discussion because it's liable to become "hairy". I am a Christian and believe EVERY child is from God. Just because the parents may not have planned the child, I believe God planned every one of us. I also have known too many couples that want to adopt terribly and can't because of the cost. IMO, if you're not able to provide and care for a child, find a couple that would love the job. They are out there and are in abundance. Adoption is a beautiful thing, and it's alot less likely to haunt the biological mother later. Also, what about the father's? I feel they should have just as much right to the child. Maybe the mother doesn't want the baby (for whatever reason) but why should dad get the opportunity to raise his child? Just a thought.

I am pro-life and I wouldn't ever have an abortion. I think that aborted babies are the missing people of the world. I imagine that a really great person might have been lost. I think that surgical abortion can be painful for the fetus. I have heard that some ladies that have an abortion regret their decision afterwards. They might get depression about it years later. I know that some ladies have abortion because their life is in danger so that is a special circumstance. I would be pleased to see the number of abortions for social reasons reduced. I think that adoption is a wonderful for the baby, the birth mother and the adoptive couple. Have a lovely day.

I really don't know how to answer this one! There are so many different view points that are valid and every single case has to be looked at individually I think. I think I'm for it and against it if that makes any sense! I'm against it because it's the taking of a small human life yet to be born but I'm for it when for example, and I'm going to get quite graphic here, a woman is raped and she falls pregnant! This is an extreme example but quite valid I think. She didn't ask to be raped and she certainly didn't intend to have a baby, it just happened to her. She then should be allowed to consider abortion, it's her right. There are other options for the child, it could be adopted for example but why should the woman have to go through this when she has been raped? The adopted child would suffer, probably questioning later on why he/she did not have any parents! This is such a difficult thing to discuss but every case needs to be treated with individuality as I mentioned. Andrew

I an against having an abortion unless there are medical reasons that the woman needs to have an abortion. Also in cases of someone being raped and getting pregnant then I can see why that woman would want an abortion.

Abortion should be a choice of either just the mother, or both parents, if the father is so inclined to have a say in the situation. Who else should have the right to tell another what they can and cannot do if it isn't detremental to another? Please don't consider an unborn baby as "another", because that's like claiming all a woman's eggs, or a man's sperm, are also equally beings. We've already advanced scientifically to allow 2 women's eggs to come together and create a child, so is a woman who ties her tubes or a man who gets a vestectamy any more "wrong" as a mother who chooses to abort for one reason or another? When it comes to the subject of abortion, I believe live and let live, basically saying mind your own business and quit telling others how to live.

I have to say that abortion is both good and bad. The good part of it is that the child aborted will leave no mark on the world, and leave peacefully without ever knowing that it was supposed to be born. I am sure this is very painful for the mother, though. Abortion is also bad because such mere lives cannot just go to waste like that! Give the children to adoption or something... don't take away its life, not giving it a chance. But the bad side of adoption is that the children will have to live a life with knowing that their parents didn't want them...
