Does abortion affect others aside from the woman choosing to go thru it?

Is it something other people should butt in about or not?

Her business or everyone's business?

    It's arguably said that abortion is murder and is killing the baby but with most laws a woman can't have an abortion past a certain time because at that point the baby has developed so much. The woman has the right to have the abortion if she chooses to it's her body but that doesn't make it right but no one else should have the ability to decide for her but herself. In my opinion it is the woman's right to choose what she wants because it's her body and no one else should think they have the right to change that.

    But abortion is a hard thing for most women to go through, I have friends that have gone through bad depression and have had to get counseling for it.

    If other people know about it, it can affect others. For example, the father of the child may want it, yet the woman can abort it without any consent from him. I do think this is wrong.

    I can also speak from experience. My father's first wife had an abortion on him. He never knew until after. I found out as a teenager and I did feel some loss. I'd have had an older sister or brother to know. Not that I'd ever voice this to her face if I met her, but I do wonder what they would have been like, who'd they marry and what their kids would have been like, more importantly, how I would have been as his second born instead of his first born and if we'd have known each other and been friends.

    It depends on the situation and the woman. Just as it is her choice whether or not to have an abortion, it is her choice whether or not to include other people in her decision. Chances are, if she is open about her choice, the affects will be felt mostly by people that disagree with her decision. Then again, if she doesn't want to tell anyone, for whatever reason, then it is no one else's business.

    while abortion become first legalized we did not have the technological expertise accessible to the common individual that could desire to particularly tell and instruct the existence cycle of an embryo. yet now with microscopic cameras filming each embryo existence cycle from interior the mothers womb and get admission to to the educational at our fingertips in the process the internet with stay pictures how can everybody proceed to declare that it particularly isn't a human existence? there is particularly no excuse. you may could be blind to not see that this might properly be a human existence. call abortion what it particularly is, a handy approach for women folk to not could stay with their errors. right here's a statistical quote from the Guttmacher Institute. On time-honored, women folk provide 4 motives for determining on abortion. 3-fourths of ladies folk cite problem for or accountability to different persons; 3-fourths say they can't locate the money for a toddler; 3-fourths say that having a toddler might interfere with artwork, college or the ability to safeguard dependents; and 0.5 say they don't desire to be a unmarried parent or are having problems with their husband or companion.[c2ad4d76fe97759aa27a0c99bff6710c2ad4d76fe97759aa27a0c99bff6710]

    I think the abortion is up to the woman carrying and the immediate family around her. I personally dont agree with abortions but i know there are many different fair reasons for one to have an abortion. i also think it affects the father of the baby as well. Its a big decision and support is what is needed and a great deal of advice.

    it is the womans choice alone i,m afraid which isn't great if the father wants the baby, a bit unfair i think if the father would be 100% happy to take the baby once it is born

    Yes, people shouldn't 'but' in, but they should be able to give her constructive advice. It is her and her immediate's family buisness.

    I believe that abortion is too big of a decision for one person to handle, as well as its aftereffects.

    Her business. A 6 week old fetus can hardly be affected.
