i think it depends on the condition, if a young girl is raped then yes, definetly, an abortion should be allowed(i know i'd want one). if a women gets pregnant and just decides she doesn't want it then probably not. now, if a woman gets pregnant and can't afford to take care of the child, then an abortion, i think, is the best thing.
an abortion, although, should happen only during the first two to three months or so, while the 'baby' is not yet developed.
Now don't tell me i'm too young to understand and make an educated opinion on it because 'i'm just a little kid'.

The reasons I believe abortion should be legal are these points:
1.) When abortions become illegal, abortions just won't stop, abortions will be done in other places other than clinics, meaning that they would go to back-alley underground shops or in there own homes and do it, which is extremely unsafe, unsterile, and deadly.
2.) I also believe the government shouldn't have control over a womans body. We own our body's, and they have no right to say what we do with them. It sounds immature and whorish but I don't mean it in that way. I enjoy my abstinence.
3.) When some one is sexually assaulted or raped I believe they should be able to get an abortion.
I also want people to know i am NOT Pro-Promiscuous sex. So just because I'm pro-abortion doesn't mean that i believe women should have sex everyday, I believe if they want to, go right ahead... but I think its stupid and wrong.
pro-life = AN ABORTION ISN'T JUST ABOUT THE WOMAN, THERE IS A CHILD IN THERE! DX
sweatdrop my personal opinion is that the last three months are not a time where you should have an abortion, thats just wrong in my book. But they are right to the extent that there is a living form in there, and it should be considered as one. So thats where the gray area starts with me ^^
That's just what's on my mind about that sweatdrop

 Abortion is a serious matter and should never be a subject that has jokes made about it.
Like you've stated, if a girl is raped and impregnated the baby should be aborted, and if some woman gets pregnant from a boyfriend or husband and doesn't want the baby, she should have to live with her stupid mistake.
Now, if one doesnt have enough money to support the child, I dont believe it should be aborted because it could be sent to an adoption agency and live its life.
A child should be aborted the moment the mother finds out she is pregnant, she shouldn't wait and consider the matter, because it gets to the point where it's murder.

I believe a woman has the right to decide what she does with her own body, its not whether its right or wrong its whether the person fully wants to.

I agree. Its a woman's right and the government shouldn't be getting involved. If some b***h whores around and decides to kill her kid, than thats something she will have to live with for the rest of her life. Someone gets raped, what then if its illegal? have a freaking kid they're going to hate? Can always put it up for adoption, but yea..kid can always come back...idk...i get reamed out on my opinions on thgis all the time, so im stopping now.

Ah, a very interesting discussion. *opens her mouth* (that's your signal to run, folks wink )
I am very pro-choice. I feel that any medical condition falls under the jurisdiction of the person experiencing it and no local or Federal Government has the right to deny a feasible treatment to someone. Pregnancy is a medical condition and abortion is a treatment. Carrying to term is another. It should ultimately be the decision of the pregnant party to make a decision as to whether or not to carry a fetus to term.
It is a person's responsibility to act responsibly and make decisions based on their life as they see fit. "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are rights guaranteed in the US constitution yet, more and more, those unalienable rights are being infringed or compromised by the belief systems of others. There will always be those who act irresponsibly, those who throw caution to the wind and harm others. However, taking away the rights of all for the stupidity of those few is a much more dangerous act than most people realize.
I do not agree with those who feel abortion is murder. If abortion is murder then we must all immediately stop eating eggs and veal, for they are chicken and cow abortions. Going further, we must all immediately stop eating meat for meat consumption requires the killing of animals and that is murder too. Animals have more capability of thought at birth than a fetus, you see. Taking the next step, all humans must stop eating all together for the consumption of plant matter is either a plant abortion or murder of the plant...sound extreme? It is and just as plausible an argument as those used by pro-life activists.
Everyone has a right to their own religious practices, be they based in God, Allah, Buddha, Giant butterflies from Neptune, etc. However, no one has the right to force his or her practices on someone else. Ultimately the abortion issue is faith-based and religiously driven. I for one do not want any of my rights infringed upon by a belief system that also feels:
A) Women are less important/intelligent then men.
B) Those of other races/ethnicities are lesser peoples.
C) Marriage is an institution reserved for only heterosexual couples.
D) It is right and good to convert others to their beliefs by force, torture or the withholding of food, water or other goods.
Again, sound extreme? It is and all of the above still have or did have at one point, the full backing of .
All that said, none of the above was meant to insult anyone else. Remember, everyone has a right their beliefs. that's what everyone should keep in mind when issues like abortion come up.
*facepalms* Yet another chapter of "War and Peace." *goes back to hiding under her rock*

I dunno.... If I were a woman I don't think I would abort, even though I'm adimately child free. I'm not really the kind to force my personal beliefs on others though.

However think of the millions of children born into this world that have a similar problem forced in on them when they just are born. Your saying that you get pregnant, then don't want the child so your going to carry it to term and then dump it. It's going to go through the system and then be another child that is lost into the world. Think again about all those millions of children that don't have a home that could have been adopted but you didn't abort? Life is beautify, but if it's unfairly given then that makes you just as responsible as if you aborted.

Better to abort than to have an unwanted child.

A women should have say over her body.
If she rapped, sexually assulted then she should have the choice. I know that I wouldn't only because why punish the child, but to all of those that wouldn't want to do that: then the option should be there.
Also, another time it would be acceptable is when the baby is putting the mother at risk. and there's a high change of infant mortality along with the mother.
One other time it would be ok is if the mother couldn't afford prenatal care. Which is just as important as taking care of the child after it's been born. Without Prenatal care a whole list of things could go wrong: premature labor, infant mortality, birth defects, only some of the major things.
the only thing that abortion should not be: is a type of birth control (I've heard of it). You know, get laid then find out your pregnant and then have an abortion then you keep doing that every time you don't want to have a baby. That's not fair to anyone, because then you are misusing a right given to you. If you don't want the child: give it up for adoption to live in a happy home loved by people who want a child.

I dunno how I feel on the subject...it's not really something I think about, since I'm a boy and even if I was a girl it's not something that would matter. ('Cause if I was a girl than Brandon would be a girl, too. End of story)
But I think it should be available to the women that want it and need it. It's their decision what to do with their life and bodies.

In my opinion every child had the right to live. Even if the girl was rapped...Yeah its her choice to kill it but it had a right to live the father didnt have the right to rape he but the child had nothing to do with it. The child couldnt have stopped it and dont you think (no offense) god has a plan,and if you kill a baby arent you messing with his plan? Now dont get me wrong i havent went to church in lets say a real long time but i just believe that if you end up pregnat isnt it your job to have it. I think the reason i feel that way is cause im a flower child and i love everybody and everything but thats off subject!
