Abortion...

    To me its one of those scenarios that really there should be no deciding power to tell someone what they can or cannot do, or at what stage something can be done. It has been under such heavy debate of morals and ethics from all stages to contraceptives, ECP (Emergency contraceptive pills aka morning after), RU486 (the drug most commonly given medication for an abortion during the first two months of pregnancy), suctioning, partial birth etc. that nothing can be concrete in limitations or permitting, therefore the only resolution is to allow the choice to be made. Unfortunately the honest truth is that what is deemed illegal still occurs anyway and it would be in the best interest of the population for there to be appropriate certified centers to perform the procedures for the the general welfare, health and safety and condition of pregnant women. I have seen 'botched' cases and by the results of those alone (internal bleeding, infertility, altered emotional/family coping/functioning and occasionally death) I would much rather be for Abortion so that there could be some regulation in its processes and procedures than for the alternative to happen, regardless of my own personal views on abortion.

It's called giving it to adoption Drace, there is an alternative.

Sure they will become human, but whats so good for another human to be born? Its bad if someone punched a 1 year old baby, but if that baby was not their, its like punching air. Nothing happens

That made absolutely no sense. If anything wasn't there, you would be punching air.

What's good for another baby to be born? It's giving life. Someone to take care of as a couple, or even just a widow. Someone to love.

But what happens when the baby is unwanted? Accidents happen, Estel. My girlfriend's brother and his wife have had a few close calls themselves, and I know that they would probably seek abortion, because both feel that they aren't ready for children quite yet.

Sorry for the double post, but I forgot that add that sometimes adoption isn't always the best option. If you give the baby to an orphanage, it could go a very long time without being taken in by a new family. Foster care isn't exactly the best system either.

I won't take a stance on either side.  I can't really without  having a personal experience in it.  But I do know that a long time ago an older relative of mine(probably a great grandmother) Performed a self-abortion with a coat hanger, and very well could have died.  A clinic seems like a better choice compared to that alternative, but then again maybe abortion is pre-meditated murder?  I'm just putting that out there.

It all depends on the situation you're in. It really depends on age. If you're 30 or something and you don't want another kid or one at all it would be an easy option to put the child up for adoption. If you're in your teens or college and it was an accident that can really impact your life dramatically and abortion would be the best option.

I think the woman has the right to chosen if she wants to give the offspring life of death.

Enough of this adoption crap. So instead of "murdering" the baby you want to flood the system even more with unwanted babies until the system gets even MORE out of control. There are already too many kids in the foster care program. Though the program is government funded that doesn't mean they always get everything they need. Stop being so close-minded and realize that bad and/or sad things happen every day. At some point in time you people are going to have to take your thumbs out of your mouths, grab a Kleenex for your "boogies" and grow up. I would rather have my parents abort me then grow up in a broken system full of bad people with little kids not knowing or knowing very little of my real mother. Way to screw their lives up, besides those rich white people are too busy adopting little babies from Ethiopia to care about your little bundle of joy.
