Some topics are just to controversial and sensitive. I really did have to participate though.

There are just too many unique situations to judge.

I CAN tell you though that I am strong on the opinion I have

[wufong]

abortion is murder, plain and simple.

Flame me if you want, but I think its 100% the woman’s right to do as she feels fit for herself and the child ... I have no time for sanctimonious interfering people when it comes to this subject you look after YOUR body and YOUR kids and let them look after theirs ... Its a very hard decision for a woman and I really doubt any one (except the most backward), see it as a form of birth control! Its all very well saying its wrong in all cases but unless you are prepared to look after all these unwanted kids yourself then really you should get on with your owns lives and stop interfering in the personal decisions of others!

Think i'm pro-choice but only in individual cases. Would try and promote adoption or fostering more maybe.

Dow know what things are like in the US but here in the UK I still think the biggest problem is that there are still too many underage kids having unprotected sex. There are parts of this country where the average age for first time mothers is below sixteen. Now i dow know bout you lot but i couldnt even support myself when i was sixteen. Think this problem shud be adressed as i expect many abortions these days are very young people.

That's really good looking out for the kid by the mom.

"Hey kid. I can't keep my legs closed and now I'm pregnant with you. Sorry, but I'm going to make my choice to never let you make a single choice of your own in your entire life by killing you before you are even born."

Yeah. Real loving.

How old are you? (I don't mean that offensively), just that the “legs closed” statement is not very in tune with the world we live in today. I am not pro or against abortion, it’s a sad and difficult choice for those involved and they don't need me to come along and judge them!
If it was band it would still happen, I have worked with adults with learning difficulties many into there 50's and a large percentage where the result of failed "back street" abortions, they went on to spend there life in care where many where sexually abused by there "Care workers" and or "Priests". Life is not always as black and white as you seem to think it is! How ever I respect your opinion and I hope you never face this decision!

I'm 24. And 'no', I'm not always politically correct. I call 'em as I see 'em and sometimes that offends people.

If I ever had to 'face this decision', it would be the easiest choice I've ever made in my life. Hmmm... To kill my baby or to not kill my baby... that is the question. My answer should be obvious.

I think anyone that has an abortion should be euthanized as soon as they become the slightest bit of a burden on someone else. I mean, that's what they would do right? If they were suddenly burdened with a 'problem' they didn't want, they would just kill it and be rid of the problem right? It only seems fair.

I can't agree with your views bwind22, but you put them in a fair and polite way so I respect them!
My point is, its not just about being alive, its about quality of life, those people I looked after had spend terrible unwanted lives, being abused and unloved ... was it really worth it just for the sake of it! I agree once you are born you should be looked after no matter what the burden on society, but that’s just not the way it is.

Funny thing the hard core pro lifers are also the most against welfare ... these people need to make up there minds if we are going to force everyone to go through the full term and have children then WE as a society have to get together and pay for them we can't have it both ways!

Not everyone is in a nice situation where the choice is so clear; if I was 13 years old and a homeless junkie having a baby does not seem such a caring thing to do … but each to their own opinion!

I don't really think that you would care much for my opinion on this subject, Ege...It doesn't exactly set with the majority (of course most of my opinions and general way of thinking do not)...But, if you really wanna know...My feelings on this subject have already been expressed quite nicely by Bwind and much to my surprise, Wufong...I would like to add that I agree 100% that a woman has every right to do whatever she wishes to HER body...If she chooses to cut her arm off, that's her business, but a baby is NOT a part of a woman's body...Any first year anatomy student can tell you that :rolleyes: ...and I don't think anyone has a right to decide to destroy another human being's body, even a baby's...as for the legal/illegal issue...The participants of Roe versus Wade (which is WHY it is legal) are so appalled NOW, because of what they have done, that they are seeking to overturn the ruling nearly every day, even though it isn't possible...Look into it
