Abortion?

Thanks

If you say "depends on circumstances" please define the circumstances. Circumstances can mean anything from "I wanted a boy" to "My acting career will be ruined!"

I don't think a mother should by any means be permited to abort any fetus. Unless there is 100% proof that both she, and the child will die in labor/birth.

The only thing I don't understand is that most people who are anti-abortion don't even want to take propper care of the living people. If it was up to me, I would gaurantee good healthcare, a good public education, shelter and food to any child that needs it. If a mother  aborts a child, chances are she doesn't want it/won't be able to financially support it because of poverty or whatever other problems she has. If a mother can't take care of her baby, the government should. But most politicians who are pro-life don't want to do that. So they are basically throwing that life away anyway. And that's why the US has such a high infant mortality rate. It's not because the baby is born unhealthy/un-cureable, it's that the mother can't afford to pay for it's life, and the government refuses to. Hopefully that would convince some mothers not to abort and save some lives. Instead of saving them and then throwing them away. That's just what I'd do though.

But those are just my moral beliefs. According to the law it's legal though, so it doesn't really matter. A country is run by the law, not personal beliefs.

i was an aborted kid.

...or this one chick in my english class last year...she was not raped, though.

Anyway, as a catholic i'm supposed to say it is wrong, however, i disagree with some things in my religion, so i believe it depends on the circumstances...

I came to the conclusion the other day that a woman who does all in her power, ie... birth control, regular doctor visits should indeed be allowed to have an abortion. Obviously she does not want to have a child at that time. Also in instances of rape, incest, and danger to the life of the mother, abortions should be allowed. As for women that are underdeveloped in age and econmically unable to raise or care for a child should also be allowed to have abortions. I personally feel that women that have abortions instead of using birth control are abusing the system, but it is still the parents choice. Personally, I think the bigger arguement is whether or not the father has the right to force the mother to have the child when he is for having the child when the woman does not.

I could not have said it any better.

well if the woman wants to kill a living HUMAN than let her  (sarcasm)

abortion only in most rape situations. Im pro-life
