Is abortion right in your eyes and why?
There are plenty of women out there that will have an abortion because they are to young and were careless, um bad excuse, because they are afraid of being a single mother, hum, still bad, because the doctor didn't give the baby more than a day to live um think of it this way, let's say the doctor says that your baby only has one day to live and you say okay with they abortion what are the chances that your baby could have beat the odds? Let's say your doctor only gave your baby a day to live and that was true you didn''t go along with the abortion and the baby did die, are you sorry? Most likely not at least you got to meet your new baby and hold your baby, and know what it felt like. If you would have aborted that baby you most likely would have regrets for the rest of your life. So before you abort please think about that baby adoption is always available. So i ask again is abortion right in your eyes if so why?

How old are you? You have a very simple, immature view of abortion. Just by the way you asked, "is abortion right?"
People don't have to think abortion is "right". People believe that it is each woman's choice to think for herself and decide if abortion is "right" or "acceptable" rather, for her and nobody else. If you don't think it's right or acceptable, that's great - don't have an abortion.
I'd like to see you ask a woman who has just been diagnosed with cancer and needs life-saving chemotherapy if it was "right" for her to abort.

I personally feel the only time abortion is acceptable is ectopic pregnancy (it would kill the mother and the baby can not live) or when the fetus is given a 0% chance of survival such as the brain and/or top of the skull not forming.
Other than that I am pro life. I do not consider those a choice.At the same time I respect others opinions. People will do what they want to do. I find it rediculous when I read forums with such hate back and forth and on both sides. You can not make someone believe in what you do.
When I was 19 weeks pregnant my water broke and I was devistated. It never resealed, My high risk specialist really pressed abortion to my husband and I as he said my sons chances of survival was slim to none. He is now 1 yr old and healthy. What a shame though. We really felt like our only option was to have an abortion. I personally could not do it and put him first no matter what would have happened to me. Going through this I can understand that the choice I made is not for everyone. It goes both ways.
You always have a choice. It's just which one is best for you.

Personally, it's a matter of choice. There are a variety of factors that contribute to the major decision. A young mother, say somebody who is a teenager would be scared and in their immature minds, abortion would be the only choice. Rape victims might often have an abortion due to the circumstances of conception. Dealing with a rape is hard enough, and to bring a baby into that problem and that world, would seem torture to the mother. Medical reasons are very valid for abortion. You mention that a baby could beat the odds. Well yes, maybe as a medical miracle, but what kind of life would that child live? What kind of pain would it inflict on the parents if the child didn't "beat the odds". That pain would be far greater than the pain of having to abort. For you to hold the baby and have to let go would be a lot harder than your shallow mind could understand. Why ask people's opinion and then shoot down what they might say before the even say it? You're just looking for a debate. But you don't realize that every woman is different. I would never, ever have an abortion, but that doesn't mean another woman shouldn't have a choice in the matter.

abortion is a valid choice when it comes to an unplanned pregnancy. not all women want to have kids at that point in time and many don't want kids AT ALL. it's not right to force a woman to gestate a pregnancy against her will. yes, doctors can be wrong, but what if they're not wrong? would you DEMAND that a woman with a fatally ill fetus carry to term and watch helplessly as the fetus dies a painful death shortly after birth? that can be FAR more traumatic to the woman than ending the suffering of her fetus through an abortion.
adoption is another option, but it is not always the best option. i know women who have chosen adoption and it hurt them FAR MORE than an abortion had. they often worry about that child and fear that the child may have ended up in a horrible home. sometimes it's better to abort, and sometimes it's not.
abortions aren't an easy choice, sometimes not the right choice, but ALWAYS is a woman's choice.
you cannot know what is best for any other woman but yourself.
oh and to the girl who claimed if you kill a pregnant woman it's double homicide, do some research. double homicide ONLY occurs IF the fetus was viable at the time of death.

There are many reasons why a female will abort a child. Although I believe in "pro-choice" you also need to understand how sensitive you are as a person. I had an abortion a few years ago because everyone urged me too because it wasn't "the right time". I regret it. Where were those people to console me years afterwords when I told them I still regret it. They are telling me not to regret it. But I still do. In my personal opinion adoption would be a much better idea because you can feel good about your choice to life and not feel like a killer. But this is just one girls opinion!

In my eyes its not right I know of woman who have aborted a child to keep an affair a secret how sick is that? and since I'm a mommy and know how those first few moments with a baby feel I agree with you on the one day of life thing and that theres always a chance I just dont think its right but each woman has the right to choose and I try not to judge but its hard for me to understand

Honestly I am totally against abortion.Unless you are rapped than I could see it but just because you are too young,careless,don't like the guy the baby belongs to,or afraid of being a single mom.If you get pregnant without being rapped there are sources out there,like adoption,someone who can't have kids who really want one.It is a living soul and does not deserve to be killed,the baby's don't ask to be brought into the world,don't kill the baby to be selfish give it up for adoption.

Abortion is wrong anyway you put it.
The baby didn't do anything wrong and should be able to be given a life.
A baby's a life not a choice. And abortion is sickening. A fetus can feel pain by 20 weeks and in some places you can get a abortion up to 9 months.
An get this. Say a women got pregnant and was like 2 months and someone murdered her. The person who killed her would get convicted of two murder cases because she was pregnant. But not we have people who walk into clinics and kill there baby's anyways. MURDERS MURDER!!! and that innocent fetus should not die.

I do NOT believe in abortion. I think it is wrong to kill a child. I am a teen parent with a 9 month old son. I do not regret any decisions I made. I think that if you want to have an abortion then you should not have sex. When you have sex there is always a chance you can end up pregnant. Abortion should be banned. No exceptions. If you do not want the child, please give them away for adoption for those who can not conceive or other reasons.

abortion in my eyes is the worst possible thing you could EVER do to an unborn child. what did that child do to these careless women? NOTHING. they didnt ask to be conceieved, it happened. i always disagree with the fact that they make abortion so easy now, because young girls are using abortionas their birth control. i lost my baby last year, and was devastated and everyday think of how my life would be right now. i would do anything for my baby back, and these girls are running around killing theirs because they werent smart enough to keep their legs closed without knowing the consequences.
