Do you believe abortion is ever 'right'? What is your opinion on those who seem to use it as a form of 'birth control'? What if a woman is raped and becomes pregnant? Or if the baby is found to have severve life-impacting deformities or a terminal condition? I am curious as to what the majority of people have to say on this matter, taking all this and then some into account~

I do not agree with abortion on ANY level. I understand that if a woman is raped that she may think about it because she wouldnt want to be reminded of a man who raped her, but why kill the unborn child. There is, in fact, adoption programs that can take the child and place the child into a loving wonderful home. People get rid of their children because of ignorant reasons, race, rape, accidents, mistakes. I know a woman who demanded her married adult daughter get rid of her child because it was going to be mixed. The daughter had abortion and later divorced her black husband. Things like this doesnt make it right. Rape could make a excellent reason to do it, but a woman always has the choice of adoption. If rape produces a child, then that child shouldnt be killed because of something the male did. remember a child is innocent NO MATTER what or how it is produced or brought into the world. The child has less than a 2 percent chance of being anything like the father if the father isnt in the picture.

I completely agree with you- Adoption is the way to go for an unwanted child..I agree that it by no means the child's fault for the crime of rape, why should that child have to die because of it? Thank you for your response~

This is not your judgement to protray on a person. Who has to make this decision is already burdened enough. Not saying that it is no problem to do so. But I mean give someone a break. I heard of a 9 year old giving birth to a child. If I was a parent I would thought about that a little bit. This is not right to give the people that is not need to have little ones children. It is better to not have the child then to bring it into the world and torture it thought putting it through adoption homes and/or just ruff necking it. you have your opinion and have mine. Abortion is not good for you we all know this but how about you let women or girl that need to make this decision not feel so bad.

I have had one as well and it was the painful think in the world for me. that is what the pain i had to go through when i made that decision and i know that i wasn't wrong for doing that. I am not going to bring a baby into the world that has a father that runs off on his/her mother. I think i wold like to be happily married and wanting to have a child and responsibility for him/her. i understand the concept of having to think about making the decision and i already had that burden on me once do you have to judge us b/c we didn't do what you think is right. Have you been through it.... have you had to make that decision... until you have to don't judge this concept b/c you just don't understand until you do!!!!

aww..yess..so many answers for one question..lol..well first off,,.If a woman gets pregnant,and just doesnt want it.i say tough tooshy! If you dont want it..let someone else adopt it and enjoy the miracle of life..I feel that goes towards people that have the "condemn break,thought there was no way to get prego at that time of the month,GOT DRUNK AND FORGOT TO USE PROTECTION..COMEONE GIVE ME A FRICKIN BREAK!!!,and my favorite..HE SAID HE PULLED OUT!!" none the less you did the nasty..and now you indeed are responsible for that life inside you..now..the only time i reAlly agree with abortion,is when the child will have life threating issues..and deformatiy isnt one of them because most of them can survive a regular life,well unless it will be so bad they will have such a horrid life they really wont be bale to enjoy life at all,and if a woman is raped..that depends too if the child is healthy,again there is adoption..but if the child will have health threats again yes..its a touch subject for me on abortion..so many people want children,its sad that the ones that get them dont want them..

It's too difficult to have an opinion on this argument. You have to live determinate situation so you can answer. I'm favorable to abort, because there's too much ignorance that don't accept a child like a benediction, but like a problem

That's not a cut and dry answer. I personally do not believe in it. However, I never had to face any of the things that you mentioned. But, my opinion is that it is the womens choice, as she will have to live with that the rest of her life what she decides.

Abortion can not be considered right under any circumstances except mother's health and child to come have physical/mental defects.these are special conditions and abortion must be allowed in those conditions.

Abortion is never right. Abortion is murder period. Legal or illegal. Whatever reasons there are for abortion are unjustifiable. A child in a woman's womb was there for a reason. Whatever that child's condition will be if ever he/she will be born, he still has the right to live. Poverty will not also make abortion right. If you are poor and you think you can't support a child, then don't get pregnant. If a rape victim becames pregnant, then just consider her child as a blessing in disguise. If she dosen't want the child, then let the child live and have him/her adopted.

according to me Abortion is wrong if not done because of medical reasons. but as you are saying, in rapped case the girl should deliver the baby and give the responsibility to someone else if she cannot nurse the baby. see we have no right to kill the inocent baby. if some bad had happen to her then i does'nt mean that she do the same (Bad) to the baby. giving life is the biggest gift.

Yeah, try carrying a baby to term under that kind of stress, please. All of you pro-life people seem to think that carrying and giving birth to a baby is so simple. That women are aborting because they just don't want to raise it. Hell no. They are aborting because they dont have the capabilites of carrying the baby to term and then going through labor and the birth process. I have 5 kids. Pregancy can be hell under the best situations. I can't imagine living through a pregnancy if I didn't want it. Never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.

My belief is its the woman's right to choose, regardless of the circumstance. The woman has a right to make decisions pertaining to her own body, just like any man has a right to make decisions pertaining to his own body. Whether or not their decisions are moral is a different matter and its up to the higher power to decide.

This answer would assume that the woman's body is the only thing affected. Her body is affected, as well as her emotional faculties, but we have to remember that the other person - the baby, is killed. This is the bigger issue. I could care less what one person does to their own body, but the woman who aborts is doing something to the body of an innocent other, who has no power to stand up for him/herself. This is the real issue!

My father was adopted. He was the child of an unwed mother and today may very well have been aborted, He went on to found a company that employed over three thousand people, providing a livelihood for them and support for there families. He was a major supporter of many charities and endowed several scholarships. I wonder how many like him we are losing to abortion on demand.

I on the other hand was also adopted and suffered abuse from the age of 5 and right to this day (I'm now 36) by my adoptive parents...When I was much younger i wished I had been aborted because my life SUCKED...it was hell..it destroyed me on all levels and it wasnt until I was in my late 20s that I started to pick up the pieces and finally rebuild myself which in itself has been a long painful road... Ppl need to realize that not all adoptions have a pretty sweet ending or story..and actually many of them arent so grand, ppl just dont hear about them or talk about them.....I know kids who have been bounced from foster home to foster home and some of those homes have been terrible where abuse was also a part of daily life....

An abortion of a baby should never take place ever for any reason unless the mother is going to die from the birth.

Abortion is murder - Abortion is murder
Abortion is, plain and simple, MURDER. Of course, the raped woman, will tend to go towards that "solution" but why kill the innocent child? She can place him up for adoption instead. There was this post here, about this woman who's had like 5-6 abortions, including one past 3 months..I was just so furious! Good people that desperately want kids are losing them, and the ones who don't care, keep on having abortions. I'll never understand this.

If the woman is raped, should they not use the morning after pill? Maybe it's too much to think about because of what happened and they are thinking of other things. I'm not even sure that all people are aware of the morning after pill. Abortion should not be used at all costs but sometimes, it's done. I'm not going to say it should be done or not, but I'm not someone to say people should not do it. I guess you need to really be in that situation to say if it should be done or not.

I have just posted the topic entitled The Bible on Birth Control which quotes relevant Bible verses on birth control and abortion. Anybody who wants to know such Bible provisions may pls go to my Profile and open the topic with the title The Bible on Birth Control. There are many other topics of prime importance especially about the Holy Bible. I hope many would care to learn the Word of God.
