I feel it's alright under ONE situation, a medical emergency. Besides that I look at it as murder.
But okay, if someone makes a mistake, do you honestly think that they should have to live with it for the REST OF THEIR LIVES? and let's say a condom (heh, am i allowed to say that?) breaks, and she ends up pregnant, what happens then?...um..and a baby is not viable until after the first trimester, i'm pretty sure, so, would that still be considered murder?
Abstinence(sp?). Don't do it in the first place, not untill marriage. And why should the baby be killed becasue of your mistake?
it's not a "baby" until AFTER the first trimester. and Abstinence doesn't work for everyone...while absitence would be a good idea, the majority of the population would laugh the idea off. The fact is, the rights of women and their freedom to choose is being infringed upon by the government if abortion rights were illegal. In addition, we all know that if women who want abortions are really desperate they'll just go to some other nation with sketchy medical services to get an abortion or just go to some "underground organization" to get some illegal and unsafe abortion. Why not add some high tax, promote birth control, and regulate abortion services?
A womans right to choose is just that.. in no situation should it be decided by or infringed upon by the government,state or fed., and certainly not by middle aged men. myopi. is right.. women could turn to unsafe situations for help.. especially in cases of rape with resulting pregnancy.
...unfortunatly, the idea of taxing such services poses a few delimas.. who would regulate and collect the tax?..and the issue of regulation..by whos terms? This is really an all or nothing issue right now.
They took the risk of having a kid when they choose to have sexual interaction (not talking about rape here...). If they a pregnancy occurs because of their irresponsiblity, who is it for us to say that it's ok to take another's life (or potential life if you want it to be put that way.)
(I'm talking strictly morals here btw.)
Some people may think my position strange, but even though my birth mother almost had me aborted, I think it is a woman's right to make that choice. Even if there is not a law for conception under usual circumstances, there should be one for unfavorable ones such as rape and incest. Also situations may change quickly. The baby may be affected as a result. The father may get scared and run away or the family could be thrust into poverty. In bad situations, it may be better to have an abortion than to try and raise the child.
I do think that abortion is a very heavy matter. The decision to do so should be made after a lot of thinking. I much prefer adoption as an option if you are unable to raise the child yourself.
About morals. I understand that many people view abortion as murder. However, I don't believe that it is right to try and force your own beliefs upon someone else in most situations, religious or not. When abortion is against a woman's beliefs, than she does not have to have one. That is her choice. But if that is not her belief, then why should she be forced to have it? In some cases this may be very damaging to the child because if the mother resents the child, psychological effects will most likely surface and sometimes may be harmful to others.

I think it should all be up to the women. No matter what the situation. Although I do believe a women should only be allowed one abortion, unless its under medical circumstances or rape. I think they should only be allowed one because they should have learned fromt their mistake the first time. I know of one women who has had 4 abortions, and that isnt right. You cannot tell me that the condom broke four rimes, or eacht ime it was rape, because I know it wasnt. But if we don't allow women to get abortions, those who are desperate enough will just go to someone else, perhaps another country or some shotty doctor, who could seriously mess the women up. I just think that in the end it should be a womens right, because it is her body, at least until the first trimester.

heh, are you implying that the risk of having a kid when the condom may have been broken by accident or some other accident may have occurred is equal to the risk of getting an unsafe and unregulated abortion in some other country?
heh, i'm not sure if this is phrased correctly..but eh, it makes sense in my world? heh.
