Do you support abortion?

[Sally]

Hasn't there already been a thread (or two) on this topic?

My answer is no, I do not support direct abortion, because I don't support the intentional destruction of human life.

On a related note, I also oppose direct euthanasia and intentional homicide, mistreating the dead, suicide, terrorism (kidnapping or hostage taking), torture and the use of drugs (except on therapeutic grounds).

Ultimately, I believe in respect for human life.

No. HOWEVER there are certain circumstances which make abortion understandable. If the woman has some sort of condition where she and or the infant could die from attempting to give birth, I completely understand an abortion. If the woman was raped, I completely understand an abortion as well. If the woman is in her later years, which could lead to an unhealthy child, or her own death/the babies, I understand abortion. Last but not least, although this is hopefully rare, if a young girl (young being 13-) becomes pregnant and has a body which could not fully support labor, etc I understand an abortion, however if she is older, and the circumstances are not present, I think that she should put the baby up for adoption/a prearranged adoption.

When it comes down to it, I think that people need to take responsibility for their actions. People who use abortions as some form of birth control disgust me. People know what it takes to become pregnant, they were taught this during childhood. That being said, if they do not wish to have a child they know to use some form of protection (although I realize only birth control is close to being 100% effective). It is their responsibility to use protection and if they choose not to do so and a child begins growing inside of the woman's womb, then they need to take responsibility for their ignorant actions and either 'work it out', or put the child up for adoption.

Every soul should have a right to life. A future person that could have been you or I, does not deserve to be punished and never see the light of day because of two grown adult peoples irresponsibility, period.

i am a mother of two, i have never had an abortion and dont think i would if got pregnant unplaned,but i do support abortion, call me old fashion i dont care but i believe that first of all you have to be in love with the person whom you want to have(plan to have) children with, dont have ch for the wrong reasons is not fair one the ch,have an obortion rather. saying that, being in love with someone doesnt mean your life will run smoothly,for one reason or another u might seperate...that depends what life brings in to you. i had a friend whom was in love with her husband,a terrible thing happened in their life and she was so unhappy,never told him,then she decided ou i am going to have a ch with him as he is a good person and would be a good father,yes he is a fantastic father,but she is cheating on him and that make me sick. i might think differently if she had the ch before she felt out of love

I'm against abortion because it's clear murder and like punishing unborn children for the mistakes of their parents! And it's also against creation and natural law.

Abortion is daily genocide.

Yes. Nobody should be forced to have a child they don't want.

Then they should learn to keep their parts in their pants.

I agree with you except for three prevailing conditions. 1. A European woman subjected to a Negroid rape. 2. Life-threatening issue. 3. Incest

Depends on the country. For the US, yes.
