I do not agree with abortion unless the mother's life is in danger. I believe that some ladies that are expecting a disabled baby have an abortion to avoid their child being born and suffering. They think they would be heartbroken if their child is born with Edward's Syndrome and he would probably only live a few days. I was offered an abortion at 36 weeks pregnancy and I said no way. I let my spina bifida and hydrocephalus baby be born. He is now 3 years old. If the lady conceives during an attack then she might want an abortion. I would feel very sorry for a lady in that situation. I am watching a program about underage pregnant ladies. They range from 14 to 17 years old. Each one has become a very loving parent. It is possible for a lady that gets pregnant at 16 years old to study when her child goes to nursery school. Having the baby would make her life more challenging but it could be the best thing to ever happen to her. Some ladies try to get pregnant but it never happens. A baby is a gift and it one is given early it is still a baby that deserves love and care. Many pregnancies that happen are unplanned. I suggest teens use birth control. Adoption is always a possibility.

I really feel bad about it. I believe it's already a person the moment it was conceived inside a woman's womb. And I also believe that you always have to take responsibility for whatever consequences your actions might bring. But I do believe that we are entitled to our own choices because we know what's good for ourselves and if a woman deems that her child will only make life worse then of course she would opt to abort it. Besides, it makes me feel worse if the child is born and he would live a life of hardships and poverty because his parents really can't afford children. So yes, I really don't like it, but I believe in abortion. Whew, this is a sad discussion.

I wouldnt have an abortion, however, I do not judge those who do that is between them and themselves and or their higher power. Reasons do not effect my decision... I walk my path in life and others walk their own. I wish not to have one, however someone elses path might lead them to one, we cannot see or feel 100% of everyone's life so we cannot know all of their reasoning. One who has an abortion will forever be responsible to that, and most will beat them selves up over it the rest of their lives, it will follow them throughout. So I think that is enough without the rest of the world doing it to. Just my thoughts =)

I don't like it one bit at all abortion is wrong if you don't want a baby then doing be doing it you know. I think it's just wrong because it's not the babies fault their isn't they have done nothing wrong to deserve such a cruel faith. Everybody deserves a chance at life and nobody should be deprived of that not right at all. I don't think that it should be up to the women to decide if she want to abort or not it should be against the law because technically that is considered murder and theirs no excuses behind it none at all.
