Dysfunctional Design Pixelated Irony I really think it should be illegal.
No matter what some people think, it is indeed murdering a human life; the fetus is living not long after conception.
Murder is illegal, therefore abortion should be.
I know some women are afraid of the pregnancy for so many reasons, but nothing they are worried about amounts to murdering someone over it.
Besides, statistics show that most women that have an abortion suffer from physical and mental health issues, causing depression.
Even if a girl was raped and hated the child, they should still go through with the pregnancy and give the child up for adoption. Someone else will love the child, if not them.  Statistics may show that but they'd show the same thing for a woman who has a kid that can't take care of it, and adoption centers, like several people have already said but obviously no one cares to read, are not a suitable answer. Which I have read and still stand by my answer.
I've also read about the part of when a woman can't take care of her child.
Either way, is breaking the taboo of murder the way to solve all their problems?
Yes, adoptive centers fill up and not every child can find a home, but they still live.
They grow up, get jobs, have their own families.
Some may not, but I'd find anything better than them having not experienced the world for themselves because someone decided for them that they should have never lived.
Compared to death, it is a suitable answer.

Some people would prefer not to live rather than live a life that's mediocre; growing up in an adoption center until you can leave, being 18 or whatever, knowing that you've been unwanted your whole life, a lot of people growing up like that might commit suicide anyway.

Some people get over it, some wish they were never born and don't.
Plenty of people who were not in adoption centers feel the same pain and also commit suicide.
That fact won't change.
You would never know what life the child you killed would have had if they never did have it.

There's also the fact that our world is overpopulated, and even if it weren't, it's better that we not use what little extra space we have to spread out the population more evenly.
AND that if abortions are made illegal, they will still happen, just in backwater clinics with untrained doctors and an even greater chance of harm coming to the baby or the mother. We tried outlawing drugs, and look what a lovely drug trade we still have going on everywhere?

We tried outlawing drugs, and look what a lovely drug trade we still have going on everywhere? The world isn't really overpopulated. Sure certain parts are; but not the world. I'm pretty sure there's always room somewhere for another person or maybe a couple million. Yeah, that sounds like a lot, but when you really think about it, that's not very much at all. A relatively small city can hold over a million people.
Low on natural resources and food? Many statistics about things like that are to scare people(Global warming?). There are still plenty of places to build a farm. Low on water? They have filters and water cleaning factories.
I pretty much think abortions should be illegal except on extreme medical issues. Kind of like marijuana and other drugs are.
Sure, there will always be people breaking the law, but the number of abortions would probably be a lot lower. -----------------------------

No!
Could you even imagine that one day you know that your your mother was thinking about to get an abortion when she's carrying you in her stomach because of some stupid reasons?
What will makes you feel about that?

Honestly, sophia, it's not about feelings, it's about logic. If it were about feelings, having boyfriends/girlfriends would be illegal too- can you imagine, your loved one thinking about breaking up with you? :/
@ Pixelated - Do you honestly think that global warming is a lie? Really? Statistics are not to scare people. They may not be all completely true, but what would be the point, honestly? Things like that and the lifestyle changes necessary to become more eco-friendly, they're not exactly the best things for the economy, and they don't help anyone to make money except the new eco-friendly companies, and those are not the ones publishing the information. There's nothing in it for the publishers. They're not lies.
And the fact is, we really don't need more people, and, like I said, I think it would be at least a little decent of us that we not destroy the rest of the environment like we already have for our huge cities, which, technically, aren't even necessary.

Global warming is on another subject, but yeah. I do think it's made up. Icebergs melt and whatnot, but things like that happen. I'm not saying not to protect your environment, but it's just my opinion. It seems pretty stupid, but I believe it and I don't care.
To get back on subject... As for you not wanting more people on the planet, why not just go around with a machine gun or a bomb, killing people as you go? Abortion is murdering human lives just like that would be. It's different, yes. But it's still the same. Not as many people would know or care for that unborn child as the person that was killed with the gun, but does that really make it less important? If you saw a story on the news about a person being shot, you might not care as much as if you knew that person and they were your friend, but do you really think it was alright for that person to be shot in the first place? -----------------------------

Yes. I do think it would really make it less important. The only people it's up to are the parents, and in a lot of cases, one of them raped the other. :/
I'm not saying that abortion is a great thing to do, only that it shouldn't be illegal, because sometimes it is necessary. The person who wants it should be put through a screening process first, to figure out if it's really needed, if the person really can't support them, but I think one of the major problems is that America doesn't do anything about the number of people born, in this country or any other, not that America needs to tamper with other countries any more than they already do. We need to do something to stop the global population from growing so much, and until we can do that, I think abortion needs to stay legal.

~Demonic Muffin~ Discuss your opinion on why or why not abortion should be legal/ illegal in the World/ United States.
I do believe it should be legal because of the problem of overpopulation in this world. are you serious! nobody has the right to take away a life

I think in the right circumstances, abortion is necessary.
Like rape, teenage pregnancy, not being able to care for a child for whatever reason, and more.
But look at it this way: if abortions were illegal, many women would turn to black market abortion pills, most likely killing themselves in the process.

Brilliant Insanity I find it terribly tragic to end a life, but a lot of these abortions are from teen mothers. They most likely didn't ask for this. They have their whole lives ahead of them, and having a baby would end that. So yes, I think it should be legal.
I'm only 18 with a 6 months old daughter and the only reason I think it should be legal is rape. Do you really want to carry a child that will only remind you of that time? I love my daughter and I am so glad I did not abort, but I understand the whole deal with being a teen. My sister got pregnant at 15. Now that is definitly too early! Now she has 2 kids, but it is depressing to think that they would have had an older sibling. I do not think she is happy about that, but I listened to her and I'm so happy I have my daughter.
I have not been able to go to college, but now that there are internet classes I think I will be able to do anything that I want.

I think under certain circumstances it is ok. Like rape, incest of if carrying the child will kill the mother. Otherwise no. I don't care if it is a teenager. If she was grown up enough to decide to have sex then she needs deal with the consequences of doing so. Period.
