I'm not for abortion, but to each is own. People do what they feel they have to do. I guess rape would be enough justification for some, I still don't agree with it though. Outside of that, things happen, when you continue to let them happen, its plain old irresponsibility.

I think abortion should be reserved for those who've been raped or to save their own lives if bringing a pregnancy to term would cause death. I understand that we all make mistakes during our lives and those who get an abortion have to live with that decision forever. But those women out there using abortion as a form of birth control sicken me. It should be mandatory that women like that have their tubes tied.

I don't believe in abortion unless carrying the baby to full term results in a life or death situation for the mother. I don't believe anyone should get an abortion just cause they was raped...cause its not gonna solve anything after its over you was still raped...so why have a murder on your conscious...

I am against abortion myself, however, I feel that every woman has the right to make the decision that is best for her. My friends and I have had this discussion on several occations and they know I will not take any of them to have an abortion but I will always respect the decision that they choose and I will continue to be there for them regardless. He we all have tough decisions to make and who am I to judge another for doing what they feel is best for them and their situation. However I do agee with originata that abortion as a form of birthcontrol is sickening. Children don't ask to be born they are here as a result of our actions and if you don't want to have a baby then there are plenty of birth control methods out there. Don't get me wrong I know that there are shade of grey in every situation, but I am refering to those selfish and irresponsible mofos out there.

Point taken but that depends on whether you see it as murder or not.

I am pro-life but I don't feel that the government should have say so over whether or not a person chooses to do this. I don't think abortion is ever ok but in cases or rape, or life threatening circumstances I couldn't say that I didn't understand someone entertaining the thoughts of abortion.

Personally, I am against abortion unless it's medically necessary.

But the choice of abortion is exculsively the right of a woman. If she is married, she has the moral obligation to discuss it with her husband, but ultimately it's the woman's choice.

I don't believe anyone or any entity should have the right chose for a woman what she chooses to do with her pregnancy and body. That's between her and her higher power.

i think that having abortions is an individual decision.
i think that it shouldnt be taken lightly and it should be a last resort.
i do believe that children are a gift from god and that when you get an abortion you have some serious explaining to do on judgement day.
but i also believe that god is a merciful god and that he's forgiving but its very displeasing that ppl would kill children as a form of birth control or just because they were careless and couldnt protect themselves. Its sad that woman get abortions because medicaid will pay for it or because they can find some sucker man or boy to pay for it. This is something that should not be taken lightly but it is and its just a shame. Abortion is killing no matter how you try to sugar coat it. Its taking a human's life a little person that can breath, cry, eat, sleep, hiccup, open and close his/her eyes, and even smile and laugh at times. With that said I wish that ppl wouldnt take it so lightly but make better decisions about it.

I don't agree with it but I do think it's a woman's right.
