I personally am against abortion because it can put you at risk or increase you risk for breast cancer, emotional problems, post abortion stress, and spiritual consequences. Instead i would choose adoption or parentinr because ABORTION STOPS A BEATING HEART!

This may be so. But having an unwanted child is not going to make any less of an impact. A child is for life! I believe in pro choice. Every woman has the rights and freedom to make her own choice.

This may be true. So what about those "rare" cases where the mother is too young and would cause more harm healthwise than good? or it's already apparent the unborn (through testing) would be horribly disfigured (beyond reason for birth)? Do these apply here?

i hate abortion especially in those cases where parents discover that their foetus is a baby girl, this problem is quite prevalent in india. i dont know what a heart they possess that they are able to take such a decision. its really sad

I consider abortion the same as murder. You are taking the life of an innocent baby when you have an abortion. Why not, instead, let some loving couple who longs for a baby of their own take that baby and raise it as their own if you are not able to do so at this time. You will always feel better to know your baby is alive somewhere, making someone happy, and living a good life instead of having been cruelly murdered and dumped in the trash.

There are stories all the time of children beaten, molested and killed by their adoptive or foster parents. Adoption is not a warranty that nothing will harm the child you surrendered. Further, fertile women do not owe it to infertile couples to supply them with healthy infants. If a woman chooses to place a child up for adoption, obviously she has made a selfless choice; but not every woman is able or interested in making such a sacrifice. You can consider abortion that same as murder or anything you like; but it is not a fact, it is an opinion. An opinion I don't happen to share & I see no reason why I or any other woman should be bound to your opinions or moral beliefs.
