If you think you'd want to abort it if you ever did get pregnant, then how can you possibly be pro life? Nobody likes abortions. It's easy for people to sit back and condem it until they're actually in a certain situation, like pregnant themselves.

I'm pro choice, but if I got pregnant now (I'm 18 and a virgin btw), I would keep it... even though I'm not ready to. But I cant imagine not having the choice if it was illegal.


Agreed.

Everyone seems to think that abortion is some fallback or excuse for being promiscuous and irresponsible. People don't realise that having an abortion is a huge decision and it harms the mother as well, physically and mentally. Pro-lifers seem to be stuck in this mindset that pro-choicers are only pro-choice because they're sexually active and want to "throw away" their consequences, but having an abortion is a responsibility in itself.

Yar.



My mom had an abortion once b/c she wasn't financially secure enough to have a baby, and she said she cried about it for a long time; apparently, there were pro-life people there before she got it screaming and yelling at her. ._. She said she still wonders about it sometimes (it was more than 14 years ago).

I think more people need to worry about themselves instead of other people when it comes to things like this.

Personally, I would not have an abortion. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did; there'd be too many "what if"s. But that's just me. That's my choice. I see nothing wrong with someone going through with an abortion if it's their own choice - whatever their reason is, it doesn't matter, it does not concern me.

Thanks Rach. I didn't quite understand what she was talking about.

Why am I alive?

Because my parents could f**king afford to raise me in a normal environment. Because my parents had the money to make sure I stayed alive and didn't have to beg in the streets to survive. Because my parents actually have a f**king job and know when it's the right time to have a child and when it's not. Because my parents COULD have me. That's why. And when they knew they couldn't, they aborted a fetus.

That's life. There is no "what if she/he was born, what would be different?" They were never here, and they never will be. Get over it. You're alive. And others aren't.

So next time you read some stupid shit like that, why don't you wonder why your life is better than some homeless, thrown-aside kid who will eventually die because of a disease or hunger?

What kind of argument is that? Just because you're for abortion doesn't mean you can't be alive rofl. It's not like being pro-abortion means you have to abort every single fetus conceived.

^Mmmm haha, good point. While I myself am not a Christian (deist), I would say that not all Christians feel that way. My parents are very much Christian, yet they support abortion and don't treat gays bad just because they're gay. But now I'm rambling, and I suppose the point you were making was aimed @ anti-abortion anti-gay Christians.

i do just want to state my opinion

i dont believe abortion is right for ME
i think there are certain circumstances that it is acceptable, like if you were raped.

but if you go around just having sex irresponsibly as you please,
and do get pregnant. then its just really f**kin irritating for people to get abortions


but i do realize, young people have sex, irresponsibly wihtout considering the consequences,


and even if you are againstabortion
when you are scared you might be pregnant, chances are, youll forget abotu what youre for or against
because its actually hitting YOU

It depends for me on the circumstances why a person would want to have an abortion. But due to the carelessness of teens in this generation with unsafe sex and the idea of getting laid to impress your friends I am against abortion. I see a lot of teenage women in clinics and majority of them are between the ages of 14-17 either by themselves or with a friend, in my opinion a lot of people who are for abortions are either because they're not ready to have a kid or to stay out of trouble with their parents or loved one. To me that's a bull shit excuse to have an abortion, I believe if your going to have sex know the consequences and pay for it. Having a kid costs money, killing your kid through abortion doesn't. so which factor are pregnant women going to be more afraid of? thats a question we cannot answer but can be asked. Everyones mind is different and if you think about it theres a lot of f**ked up people out there that take advantage of having abortions. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in their head when having an abortion, is the problem lifted or is it just getting heavier. You never know one of those aborted kids could have been something great.In our society people die and new people are born to take their place and have a chance to live, if your going to have abortion life aint gonna be much easier on you.

^Having an abortion can do everything for you. If you can't financially support it and you're trying to get through school and a mistake happens (which does happen) then you pretty much have to give up your schooling and take a job to support you and your kid in poor conditions.

I agree that it's lame when high school kids need abortions because they were having sex to impress their friends, but not everyone is in that boat. If you illegalized abortion as a whole, there would be a lot more poverty-conditioned families/kids runnin around.

Also, what if they were to have the ability to produce awesome offspring, but were too poor to raise it and sent it to school? Sounds like a waste there too. Better to wait til they're financially set so they can raise that kid to his/her full potential.
