Welcome to Gaia! ::

hahahahaha *stares* ninja

The way i see it legal abortions do a number of good things for the world. A. they keep m13year olds from trying to raise kids, conduct abortions on themselves or cause themselves harm in an attempt at misscarrying. Aside from that it also is just one more preventative step against over overpopulation and poverty. of course there are much simpler methods. the condom, the pill the patch the needle all work wonderfully and there are more as well. Prevention is definitely a better idea than abortion. it's just easier.

not entirely true. i actualy though alot about the concequences, but accident's do happen. i say let them go. in the end they'll know they were wrong.

and mine. man we need more people to come in here. thsi debate seems to have ground it's self out.

FINALY!! FRESH MEAT!!!

Ok for your first statment i have this simple rebuttal. Get raped. when that's over realize that you haven't had your period for a few months. get a pregnancy test. find out that the rapist impregnated you. now tell me you want to keep that child concieved of nothing but hate and pain in your mind. Also have you any idea how many murderers gangmembers and illadjusted sociopaths the foster care system turns out? if that kid dosen't get adopted real quick the chances of being alright at age 20 are pretty silm.

Here's a qurestion are you willing to devote 18 years of your lfe to something? are you willing to do it alone if the father bails. are you willing to live off wellfare becasue you never graduated because you had to drop out to rais your child? if you answered no to any of these then yes. an unborn child is a quite threatening thing.

yuo know why they have 2-3 kids before getting out of highschool? because they never finish highschool after the seccond

also i do not see the moral differance between abortion abd war at all. both are killing for personal gain. and actualy war should be less moral even that that becasue technically it's killing for the personal gain of some one else and getting paid for it. besides. how many unborn or newborn babies get killed when a missile fired miles away or a bomb dropped from miles up takes out a city block?

wow another preacher of abstinence. what abotu those people who have had sex. it's a little difficult to keep from doing it if you've got a taste for it.

My mother had two options when my father abandoned her being pregnant. She could've aborted me, or she could've take the risk and raise me all by herself. I'm glad she went for the second one.

As my mother there's a lot of other single mothers. An abortion is a selfish decision about fixing your problem of being pregnant. You're killing a defenseless being. You want to kill the kid? let him/her born, grow and gain strength to fight back.

And Lazarus:

An unmarried teenage girl is pregnant. She has a few options, one of them: have an abortion. Her fiance is not the baby's father and he's very upset... She would get in so much trouble if she has the baby. She is poor, and her family will definitely NOT support her being in that situation.

Would this one be a good reason to get an abortion?

This unmarried teenage girl had her baby: Jesus Christ.

And for yours, I have this. I have been raped and I thought I was pregnant. Guess what. I was willing to keep the child, even though I hate it's would-be father and my parents probably would've kicked me out, rape or no.

I know girls in my class (senior) who have 2 kids with another on the way and they're graduating. Good for them for finishing I guess, but life would've been a whole lot easier if they had waited.

I wasn't trying to equate them exactly, rather, they both involve the killing of innocents. Not that either is right, but when you are fighting to keep your country safe, a death is a little more justified that killing a child because you're too lazy to raise it.

Also, I have had sex, both willing and not. I know it's hard to go without, but hey, I know I can manage.



To morsusmihi:

To a married couple, I would reccomend birth control and condoms. Pregnancy isn't that hard to prevent.

I know a girl who has gotten pregnant at least 3 times and had an abortion every time. Yes, I know abortion lowers the body's ability to reproduce, but it doesn't eliminate it.

Yeah, some teens may want the kids. My best friend is trying to get pregnant right now actually. But it's still not a smart decision to have a child before you have the ability and stability to raise it.

War happens. People get mad, they fight. If we were attacked, I'd definitely want to go to war so we can protect ourselves. War, when done right, is just self-defence on a large scale.

Not all kids who enter the system enter up in a bad place. Then again, it does happen. I know 6 siblings that have been adopted by the same family (they're my cousins you could say). They're perfectly normal and happy. I can't say I know anyone who wasn't adopted out of the system, but then again, if they cleaned up the system, it wouldn't be that bad.
