Abortion, is it wrong or is right is certain circumstances?

Abortion is a very strong topic for certain people and they also have evry strong opinions on this, so I thought id put it out there to ask people if it is right or wrong? Does it depend on your situation? How it come about you being pregnant? For me I have always believed if you feel you can't look after a baby or don't want it, then you shouldn't have it, I know adoption is an option but this is the long run can work out a lot more traumatic as you have to carry that baby the whole 9months and then give it up at the end! I know girls that ahve had it done in the past, now they have a child being the right time and are very happy and settled as a family. What do you think on this matter, opinions and comments would be great please

Abortion is the wrong action. Except, for the safety of a mother. But, in religion, abortion is a sin. The fetus has a chance to live, and to abortion, means killing, and it is very wrong action. Babies are fortune from God, and we should be grateful.

How can it be a sin, if you feel you can't cope with a baby then why should you feel forced to. Abortion is a thing that happens everyday in life for hundreds of women. And they soon move on later in life to have a beautiful child and family when they are more settled and ready for it

I believe 100% in abortion, not circumstances, no restrictions, just plain personal decision. No woman is obligated to bear any pregnancy, ever. To terminate a pregnancy is no more or less of a choice than to carry it. A woman's body belongs to herself, not a man and not a pregnancy. I pity any woman who has ever been forced or guilted out of choosing her own path in life. The world is made of many different people who have many different goals, values and beliefs and it just makes me sick to see people who feel the need to control, restrict, shame and stigmatize others for not following or agreeing with THEIR idea of what is "right".

I completely feel the same and I really think nobody can judge until they have had one or gone through it, everybody is entitled to there own opinion.

I think that abortion would not be something I could ever do. I think that abortion is killing an innocent baby that deserves to live. I know many ladies get terrible depression after having an abortion even years afterwards. I was offered an abortion at 36 weeks pregnancy and I said no way. Now my disabled son is 4 years old and he is such a delightful little chap. I wish that adoption could become more popular and easier to do. In the 1960s it was common place in my home country. One of my mom's friends adopted a baby girl from a teenager. Then a couple of years later she adopted a baby boy from a business lady. So these babies that were unwanted survived and now they are grown up. I saw a program called "Long Lost Family". A teenager had her baby boy adopted. Years later she tried to get pregnant but never did. In the program she met up with her biological son that she had given away. Only if the mother's life is in danger is abortion the right choice I believe. In that case one of the two lives can be saved. It would be awful to lose the mother and the baby.

I think it depends on. There is nothing right or wrong to have the abortion, it is just a choice. Actually nobody really wants to have an abortion. This is the last choice for the females. We have to be considerate and understanding for them them rather than blaming them. They already suffer the physical and mental pain, so we shouldn't make them feel worse. It is already enough. I love China

I think abortatae not like something. However, what this living being culpable for one's mistake. So do not accept these things. I have no such things in the world but in many cases, many women have an abortion. Sometimes circumstances dictate. But hopefully there are no such things. nice day!

Is wrong because a fetus has as much right to life as any other human being. It is perhaps worth noting here that paper is focusing on induced abortion,
