Why are people so rude about abortions.?

I believe that abortions need to be up to the women themselves. It is the way it is today. Those who believe it is murder believe it enough to want to impose their beliefs on others. They want to take away a personal choice that each woman has. There are people who abuse it. That is wrong, it isn't meant to be a birth control method. But the 15 year old who was talked into having sex with the incredibly cute boy, who ended up pregnant, and alone. I think she deserves the right to decide if she is ready to provide. Or the 14 year old who was raped, and ended up pregnant. What kind of life would those babies live?

Abortion is a personal choice, just like religion.

As I said earlier it shouldn't be abused. But just because some people think they are right, and want to impose, and bully others into agreeing. It isn't going to happen, as long as their are rape victoms, and young people having sex!!!!!

I completely agree with you. There is no reason to call people murders. We actually have protesters all the time picketing in front of the abortion clinic downtown. I think that it's a good idea depending on your situation.

At my school I found out a 16 year old girl in my photography class is pregnant and she is about to get evicted from her apartment for the 3rd time. They have no money and she barely ever goes to school because she has a job that is more important. I honestly don't think she is in a stable condition to support a baby, and i don't think that's fair to her mom or herself OR THE BABY! Another girl in my circle of friends just had her 4 year old baby (she had the baby when she was 14) taken away because she neglected and now she doesn't know if she has the money to get her back.

I baby should be brought into this world by stable parent(s), how can afford to love and support their bundle of joy. I think if your in school or living with your parents a baby is not right in to bring into the world. There will come a time when a person will have everything a baby needs to survive. If you don't have those necessary items, then I'm sorry but the baby shouldn't be born.

Yes, a baby is living and breathing but the mom has more right over the baby. It's an fortunate situation but it's how life is. It's mom and/or dad's decision no one elses.

Personally, I am mixed. On one hand, I have my general philosophy which is: Take responsibility for your actions. If you willingly have sex and get pregnant, then you should be responsible and have the baby. Abortion is a way to make people find a way out of facing the consequences of their actions. If a girl doesn't want a baby, then either 1) Dont have sex; 2) Get your tubes tied; 3) Use pregnancy pills, condoms, and female condoms (close to 100% effective as you can get when used together); Basically, I feel that if you make a decision, even if you don't like the outcome, you should take responsibility for your decision and accept the results. I am pro-choice in the sense that the girl has a choice: sex or no sex.

I have mixed feeling about women who are impregnated by rape or who will die by giving birth. For being raped, it was not their decision, so my philosophy of "take responsibility for your actions" can't really be applied. However, I don't feel that an unborn baby should be denied birth either. For the women who will die by giving birth, I have not yet formed an opinion, because it is pretty much impossible to decide which life is more important.

Whether abortions should be banned or not....I personally am against them, but that doesn't give me the right to enforce that view upon others. Before that decision can be made, many opinions on abortion such as whether fetuses count as human beings must be established.

Anti-abortion activists tend to be idealists and authoritarians. While there is nothing wrong with HAVING ideals, and idealist is so hyper-committed to an idealist view that he will deny or distort his reality rather than adjusting that ideal to better fit the real world. An authoritarian believes that departure from the norm must be punished or order will not be maintained. Abortion hits them from both sides at once. In their ideal world women who do not want children do not become pregnant and abortion does not exist. When forced to face the reality that unwanted pregnancies DO happen, the reaction is feel very threatened by this intrusive and disturbing reality AND to heap punishment on the person who departed from the norm and forced them to deal with this distress. They all need a healthy dose of pragnatism, but if they were pragmatic they'd be busily working to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies instead of going ballistic when it's too late to do anything truly satisfactory.

I happen to have a couple clients who are these gung-ho pro lifers. They stalk the Planned Parenthood with their giant sized posters of dismembered fetuses (also facing the busy street for any child to see)dictating to the women who go in there. Some girls are just in there for birth control. How many see the place and leave because of those protesters? These same clients have a total of 13 kids between the three of em. Thirteen! And how many are children that have been adopted? A big fat ZERO!!!!

I'm both for and against abortion...it depends on the circumstance. Rape, incest, danger to mother's life, severe birth defect with the fetus...all are valid reasons for an abortion. Using abortion as a form of birth control....NOT any kind of reason but BAD.

I can't and I won't judge anyone who has ever had one or is thinking about it. That is only up to one person and it's not me. If a person wants one or has had one, that is their business and no one else's.

Let me ask you this...I had an ectopic pregnancy that was terminated to save my life. In a sense, that is an abortion. Does that make me a murderer?

I am very Pro Life and i think it is murder but i don't try to force my beliefs on others

But I do think there should be therapy available for women who get abortions cause i would think that it's very rough. Especially if they're in a place in their lives where they can't support a baby.

It's because it's a very controversial subject that some people have strong feelings about.

Often times, strong feelings can shut down basic human politeness and bring out the worst in some people.

I have found that the ones who are the biggest hypocrites, e.g., the so called "pro life" folks, are the most critical and judgmental even though none of them has ever adopted an unwanted child already here, nor volunteered to help them each week nor donated one dime to their care, they only "love" the child when it's a bunch of cells in the womb. Pro choice, by definition, are far more tolerant of all POVs even those they disagree with...

I've always found it interesting that the people with so much "respect for life" have little respect for how people choose to live.

It seems that these are the same people who are in support of the war in defense of our American freedoms, yet want to eliminate the freedom of choice - with little attention paid to wartime casualties.

I just throw them a .. "Judge not lest thee be judged".. and that usually shuts them up!
