Wow... what a loaded question, particularly on a pregnancy board!

I think that it is ending a life, but I also think that there is a distinct lack of decent support for women who have to have their baby because that option has been taken away from them. The whole subject is very iffy to me, very gray as to what is right and wrong and how it should be dealt with.

I think that its wrong to say a woman HAS to carry out the pregnancy. I also think that its wrong to end a life. Which is the better choice? There isn't one. Part of me thinks taht women should be allowed to have them, but should have consequences for taking a life. But I know very well that many women who have abortions suffer emotionally for years, and that very well could be consequence enough.

Oh! This could be a very heated debate. I myself feel that a baby is alive the moment it is conceived so I think abortions are borderline murderous, however I think the their are some circumstances where abortion could be excuseable in the instance of rape,abuse or incest, I could never imagine such a horrible crime result in a pregnancy a constant reminder of the even for the next 40 weeks, but still it's sad because it was never the childs fault. I think that the laws that have been passed in some states are good and bad. Women should have the choice but teenage girls should not be able to be getting abortions done without a parental concent or be using an abortion as a birth control method(which has happened) I strongly believe that adoption is always no matter what another option there are millions of people out there who can't have children that desperatley want them, granted there are also a lot of children in foster care as well but in my heard I just cannot condone the act of abortion, I respect other opinions on the subject, and I would never look down on a person who had an abortion, when it comes down to it, it is your life,your choice and ultimatley your the one who has to live with the decision you make for the rest of your life

Well I relly don't think this is an appropriate topic here!

I believe women should have the right to chose what they want to do, but I don't believe this is the way to go. I think that abortion should only be turned to when either the mother is in danger or the child has no way to survive. Also, like jimjamie had said, when the child is a result of rape, insest, or whatever. And also, like she said again, it was not the child fault. But also, I don't think this is a topic for a pregnancy board.

sorry guys! i didn't mean to offend you or anything for putting this up here...

it's just that, my fiance's sister is of age...but she's letting everyone make the decision of having an abortion.

i, myself, am 100% against abortion. i would LOVE to have a child of my own...unfortunately, my doctor has found that i am unable to... =/

i just wanted to know your guys' opinions...
