It's a pretty controversial topic these days, but what are your opinions on it? Took me a bit of thinking, but I'm leaning a little towards being against it. After all, it's the woman's responsibility to take birth control or what ever she's using if she wants to have sex. If she ends up pregnant, it'd be her fault, as she wasn't cautious enough to consider the circumstances.

Aborting a baby would almost be like killing it. Sure, it's barely developed, but it still carries the genes of the parents, and aborting it would only eliminate another chance of having a great person. For all the parents know, it could be the next president or J.K. Rowling.

So anyway, there's probably other reasons to contradict what I'm saying, but what are your thoughts?

I'm not for Abortion.

I'm for choice. Even with protection, s**t can happen.

There's also things such as the male condom, rape, the new male birth control pill, the pull out method which is mostly considered a man thing. You get the idea.

Takes an egg AND sperm to make a fetus. And you CAN get pregnant while using birth control. Even if you're using the birth control perfectly.

Or the next Hitler, Stalin, Meyer, etc.

I may not be that faithful to my Church but I know it isn't right. It's still murder.

Murder is defined as the unlawful act of killing another person.

Killing is defined as the termination of life.

Life, is currently undefined.

So I'd be curious as to how you can define Abortion as Murder.

Yes, but that's a different topic unluckily. I meant murder of human life.

To me it's not. Murder is murder, I don't see why the species should matter.

However, I am still pro-choice. I don't scream at people for eating meat, why should I scream at someone for getting an abortion?

If you didn't read the above words that's the same as eating meat. stare

True but then the question was do you agree or disagree to it, not question someone and tell them why they should have picked the other choice.
