How do you feel about abortion?

I do believe in some cases the right to choose in the case of i*cest, r*pe... Then you have to look at the choice of the child.... Although the say it first it is not human for awhile who gives anyone the right to say what is human or not when something is actually growing.......... I know one thing I had a abortion and my little girl would have been 7 or 8 at this time..... I have never felt more guilty or regretted my decision to do this.... At the time my ex told me either I got rid of it or he would divorce or beat it out of me.... He being a physical abuser already I knew that divorce was not a option the latter would have taken place..... One thing though on my way back from the most horrible experience a woman could ever put herself in I hated him..... Every year after that I loved him less and less until the day I finally got out in which I had no love left and it had been gone for years.... When a man makes a decision like this for you in that way it does something to you... All respect which there was not much there because there had already been abuse was all gone..... I was put into a situation with girls 10 years younger that were using this as a form of birth control.... How pathetic and what a waste.... I will have to tell you I did not want another child with this man given the circumstance but this would have never been a decision I would have made on my own... I was also on birth control when I got pregnant so it is not like I meant for this to happen..... I blame myself for the decision to end my daughters life and will never forget her.......Please if you are a woman there are other ways: adoption, your parents may even want the child, there are other ways..... I immediately after this went and got my tubes tied because I never wanted this to happen again..... Now I am with a great man and cannot give him a child... Although we have children from different people it would have been great to have put our love into atleast one.....

i think prevention is better than abortion.so if that night was intense atleast the next morning that girl should be aware of what the circumtances are and avoid getting in a suitation where she has to murder an innocent.i dont understand how any women can kill something which is already a part of her for her own selfish needs.why should that baby bear the punishment for someone else mistake.i am sorry if i sound rude but i've seen so many of my friends do it,and it makes me more angry when they just dont listen to you.

Personally, I'm not for abortion. But I think, every individual has the right to choose when she wants. We just cannot blame it on them. Everybody makes different mistakes in life. So in what way is this different? Sometimes circumstances, family, etc. may not allow them to keep the baby. We have to be in their shoes to understand this.

Unborn children have a right to live and it is time we recognize that once again. Abortion is wrong.

I think abortion should be abandoned, for this action is lack of humanity. The child should be treat as a normal person(like you and me), even though it is still small, while it is indeed a life. That's the reason I think abortion should be abandoned.

this may have already been said but i didn't see it skimming through the first page and sadly i'm out of time to read. the fact that you say it is the girls fault i have to disagree with sir there are circumstances such as rape in which i can see it being more cruel to the mother to keep the child than it would be to terminate (thats the politically correct term these days). and in the case of rape it is not the victims fault no matter what some pigs try to say such as it is their fault for being sexy or some such bull. the fact is rape is not just centered on sexy people i know a friend of mines mom who was raped last year shes in her 50's and wasn't dressed like a hussy which is one of the other excuses it was also in the middle of the day and she was walking to her car and carjacked not some big city n the middle of the night in a dark alley. thankfully she didn't get pregnant. and i agree that using abortion instead of birth control is wrong but not for any religious reason just because its purely irresponsible tho even for young people there are accidents and birth control nor other contraceptives are 100% effective so it does sometimes happen even in cases of more responsibility. tho i will also say that the schools in this area do try to put out that abstinence is the only way to be safe which is true (except the possibly being raped) do you think kids these day listen no most of them sleep through that class because they don't care it is a sad time w live in for this sort of thing. well thats all hope it made sense and wasn't too boring and crazy angry chickish

I don't think abortion is right at all. There are certain circumstances where I could see the woman doing it. My aunt went through an experience where her baby would not have survived a delivery so she aborted the baby when she was four months pregnant. He survived for about five hours before he finally passed away. My mother could have aborted me when she found out she was pregnant, but she didn't. Every woman has the option and it is up to her, but I don't condone it. I don't think I would ever have an abortion unless my life was in jepordy.

well personally im just very pro choice! for me the choice would be keep the baby but then i have two children a wonderful husband to be who would support me and in general no money worries etc, imagine being pregnant with a baby with no support money worries possibly nowhere to live its not always cut and dry and easy to just say you shouldnt abort its your own fault. everyone has the right (isnt that what we strive for every day to be able to live our lives the way we wish?) to make their own choices and im all for that.

Imo abortion is the ultimate proof that something is wrong with society. We wanted freedom and liberalisation, but we were unable to use them properly. I could never kill an innocent creature. In my country, abortion is illegal. A lot of liberal hot heads have been coming here to promote woman's rights and brainwash us that abortion should be legal and stuff. Its sick... killing a poor helpless creature is definitely sick.

In my eyes, abortion is an action to murder a living, breathing, growing soul that's inside of people. For various reasons, some people may have to choose abortion at last, which is really common in such a society. When someone have an abortion they are physically hurting that little soul inside of you! At the age they are at when you know your pregnant, they can feel pain, they can hear words, they are really a living human beings. It is not responsible to kill a baby through abortion.

Hi. I don't approve the aborting. No one has the power and the right to take somebody's life, even of a not born child. This creature will become a grow man, it its own and unique conduct, it will be a complete person. So we can't decided if it's going to live or not. Yes, the person who kill the embrion is its mother, but even in that case she hasn't got the right to do this. And it is also dangerous- if there are complications, the mother will probably not gonna have children any more. And if you believe in God, I can tell you something more- the God is the only one, who has the power and the right to decide, whois going to live and who is going to die, because he is the one, who gives us the life. So, women, think about this, before you make the biggest mistake in your live.

the only thing that really bothers me about abortion is the late term abortion- the procedure where they drag the little dude out of the birth canal, and suck his brains out! thats horrible! people on mylot probably think Im out of control for my postings in politics,but even I can't accept the violence and brutality of this procedure.it is just grisly; and downright gruesome.

I believe all woman should have the right,to choose to keep the baby or not. I don't really have a logical reason why,I just think it's their right.

Abortion? It's just like killing people. The lesson here is, don't do the things that you know what is wrong if you don't want to have a commitment. Know how to respect each other to avoid having a baby in no right time. Abortion is not considered as a solution. Aborting proves that she/he is afraid of having a responsibility.

I think this is a very personal topic and depends on the person. I think it is rather better to abort than bring a child into the world and leave it to fend for itself. If the parent is uninterested, then even if she gives birth to the child the care provided would not be up to the mark, so I would rather let the person take the decision on her own. Cheers! Ram

To me it depends on the circumstances that surround the pregnancy. If this person having difficulty where the baby will kill her then it is best to abort it. We should always try to protect lives because they are precious.

Abortion is sin, It is a form of crime. Killing innocent lives is a great sin. How could someone do that to a baby? A person who will do that would never be happy in her whole life thinking of the guilt she has.

Most girls decide for abortion because they do not have the courage to be pregnant alone, and doesn't see any ability to raise up the child. They panicked and decided for a shortcut. I hope as many as we are out there, especially mylotters here, would embrace a pregnant girl who's afraid to have the baby (or even tell her parents about it) and help her, give her moral support and let the baby live. There are many couples out there who wants to give that baby a happy home and bright future. Most girls I knew who had an abortion ended up guilt-ridden for years, especially when they grow older.
