What are your views on abortion?

Personally, I don't like it, but I know that it is often necessary. For example, a young girl who gets raped and impregnated should be allowed an abortion, because no one should have to go through that when it is not their fault. And some people try to abort their own baby.... and have been killed or terribly injured in the process. If it's a teen or an adult who sleeps around, I think they should not get the baby aborted and should take responsibility for their actions.... but it is their choice. I hate the idea of abortion, but I know that some people badly need it, and because of that, I am Pro-Choice.

How about you? Do you think that it is wrong to abort a baby in any circumstance, or do you think that it is often necessary? Pro-life or Pro-Choice? I'm very interested to hear your opinions!

Update:

I do agree with you Yasmine, and I'm sorry the question was probably placed in the wrong section. Sorry for that.

    I'm pro-choice. To me, it doesn't matter how the woman conceived. She has the right to abort the pregnancy if she feels that is the wisest choice for her situation. I also support her choice to carry to term and either choose adoption or motherhood.

    I think abortion is a choice, and shouldn't be considered wrong. I believe if you bring a life into this world and cant take care of it, your not being responsible. Do not assume others will take care of your baby and adopt the child. Rather don't bring one into the universe, or let the soul go somewhere else. Who is to say that one life is more valuable in the world then another. Kill viruses everyday, don't we, eat veggies instead of meat. and just because you cant hear a veggie scream doesn't mean it cant sense or feel it being murdered. please people should stop judging and start embracing choices instead of controlling those options for others.

    Source(s): my own true beliefs. ... and YES i am PRO-CHOICE, all the way!. I believe people who believe in Pro-Life for others and judge, should unfold those perfect wings and fly back to heaven. because obviously they cant live with indifference.

    i think only when necessary the example u gave about the victim is a great example there are many girls out there who get raped and are left pregnant people say to give it up for adoption but that is not always esay. my sister is one of those babies her mother was raped and had to be given up for adoption so my parents adopted her she is older than me and she hates the reason why she is born when she was a teenager she really hated her life she did not want to live she took it out on herself that is why i believe in it... why do people want the bby to suffer... it is not their faults there for they should not feel tht way.... another reason lets say medical issues... wht if a girl is terribly sick and if she gets pregnant she may die so tht would be a great reason for abortion.... did this help i hope so :D

    i dnt like these questions honestly. most of us are pregnant and it's the last thing on our mind.

    but if anything i would say the only case of abortion i could think would ever be "ok" would be a rape case ..

    any other case including medical reasons such as down syndrome or some cases of spinabifia still deserves the right to live..

    god creates us in all different shapes and sizes.. and just because some are born with health issues and other problems doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to live..

    I am completely against abortion. I mean, under no circumstances should someone abort. Every child has the right to life, that child is given by GOD and should not be flushed in the toilet.

    Even if it was rape or a mistake, just think that you were the person about to be terminated from earth like waste paper. You should have some feelings.

    People who tend to abort end up not having children. Then they go around saying that they were barren. I know of a couple who aborted thrice when they were dating and when they got married, they never had any child. For years, the girl made her family understand she was barren and finally when she became pregnant, the child died in her and she died too, the boy ended up committing suicide. What did they expect? After killing 3 innocent kids.

    I still do not understand why abortion is made legal in the US and most of Europe. Advanced societies like these shouldn't be behaving this way.

    So i DISLIKE ABORTION

    I DISAGREE WITH ABORTION FOR ANY REASON. WHY SHOULD THE BABY HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE HIS OR HER FATHER IS A RAPIST? JUST GIVE THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION. THAT'S LIKE YOU GETTING PUT IN JAIL BECAUSE YOUR UNCLE ROBBED A BANK.

    I think u are all hypocrites!! u say u don't agree with abortion than say its ok if she were raped!!! WTF? Whatever the circumstances of conception, it is still a baby in there, so what should it matter if ut was rape or not??? u need to re-think what u are saying people, that is a ridiculous argument. and Im pro-choice BTW
