Not to mention, I believe that "Abortion causes depression" and such has been disproven scientifically. If depression is caused, it's likely because the woman has been guilted by the crazies outside the clinic screaming at her that she's a murderer.


D: I'm not even in that situation... but thinking about it as if I were is certainly depressing. You're dealing with another life right? It's scary.

Emotions aren't scientific.

I think that abortion, as most things, should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Yeah.

*All Satah has to say to that post.*

*Inspired by Soup's post!* Yeaah... I mean, me? No way in hell I could deal with a kid. xP I have no money, my dad would probably kick me out of the house... You know, I just couldn't do it.; I'm also just emotionally uncapable. xD Nooo waaay I'm ready for a kid. Worst. Mother. Ever. My kid would grow up ruined. <<;

I just hate how girls who are just slutty and don't protect themselves just... I don't even know what I'm thinking, it's pretty sweet. xD

I think that someone can do with their body and fertilized egg whatever they want to, as long as they think of the consequences and... I lost my train of thought. I'm not even going to try to have a serious discussion right now. *Runs away.*

I don't have an opinion on this.

DON'T TRY TO PERSUADE ME, DAMN YOU. D< I'm perfectly happy where I am.

Yay for being indecisive!

I'll go away now.

lots of good and scary thoughts
Exactly. You don't feel like you would have a choice right now, which is what situation most women find themselves in. Most women naturally want to have a kid.

And yeah, I agree with Telor. It's not something you can really generalise about. Even though I do think any abortion is killing a baby (unless it's dead already ^^; ) it does have to be the mother's descision in the end.

But, this is where it all comes down to; when does life start? I happen to think it's when the sperm and egg meet, some people think it's when the baby's hearbeat starts, some people think it's when it's born, and there's plenty of others inbetween.

However, I think most people would agree that the latest you can have an abortion is too late; I know a woman who miscarried two weeks before that date, and the baby survived, and is not mentally damaged at all. A miracle and one in a million, but it proves that life has definately started by then.

I don't understand how in one room a doctor can be struggling to save a premature baby's life in one room, and just down the corridor, be aborting a baby of the same age. o.O

And yeah; getting yourself pregnant through carelessness, and having an abortion because of selfishness... oh that gets me so angry. There's giving a woman a choice in really difficult circumstances, and then there's selfish idiots who don't care about life at all.

PS: No one can prove where life begins, so there's no point in arguing about it. Opinions are fine though, obviously. wink

I think that if you want to have an abortion, you are entitled to it because it is your choice.

If you don't want to have an abortion because you don't believe they are morally right, then don't have one.

Simple.

Eh, the viability point isn't known well enough yet, but the cutoff for abortions in most states in the US is 18 weeks, and the highest is 24.

I'm really not sure how to feel about this topic... Each side has some good points... I'm undecided...

I do know, though, if I were to become pregnant, abortion wouldn't even be an option. I know I'd be haunted for the rest of my life with "What if."
Life is a precious thing. I can't let it be taken away from somebody by my own choosing. It's not my life to take. gonk

I won't try to push my opinions on anybody else. I won't be mad at anybody for making different choices. That's where I'm undecided, kinda.
I like the way my mom put it.
"It's not my job to pass judgement, it's God's."

*agrees with the first part completely*

And most of the second bit... xd But what I find strange, is that you think it's taking a life, yet are ok with it being legal. Isn't that murder? Sorry for putting it so bluntly. sweatdrop I do sorta agree with you, in that while it is legal, I support anyone's decision, because whatever a woman decides she needs an awful lot of support.

Other women can do it, but I could never live with the guilt. >>
I do wish it was illegal though...

Murder: The illegal killing of a person with malice aforethought.

So no, it's not murder. Simply killing isn't murder. For it to be murder it has to be illegal killing of a person with malice aforethought.

I believe it is as follows...first-degree is premeditated, second degree is you murdered someone unintentionally but you did intend to do them extreme harm, manslaughter is accidental, like say hitting a pedestrian.
