Different places in the world have different laws on abortion. Some states allow abortion up to a certain age of the foetus, while others don't allow it at all.

So what do you think? Are you in favor of it or against it? When does the baby, which starts off as a ball consisting only of a few cells inside the womb, actually start to count as a human being? Please give some explanation behind your point of view, putting into consideration things such as unwanted pregnancies.

Pro life. I have [posted my poinion in another one of these topics..let me find it because i am too lazy to type it again ;)
found it!

QUOTE
It is a baby, not a fetus to me. I'm against abortion it is not your right to choose to have a baby and it is a selfish choice. You decided to spread your legs and if you are woman enough to have sex you need to be woman enough to take care of the possible responsibility for you actions. Keep in mind less than 1% of abortions come from people who were raped, so think if they can keep their child, why can;t you. You decided to take that chance when you had sex. There is always adoption, i am so for adoption because it gives people who weren't bale to have children and chance to have a child of their own. Yeah peopel make mistakes but making another one doesn't cancel out the first mistake.


then someone replied saying

its funny cuz when people see a 16 yr old..they automatically think "shes a slut"
i think u guys have to be in the position to say what u think...have any of u guys ever been pregnant anyways?


and

america is freedom, so why do we CONSTANTLY look for ways to restrict?

I said

ya'll keep saying rape, but that is hardly any of the cases of abortion. Also why should your child suffer rape is wrong completely but that doesn't mean you punish you child. And yes if some 16 year old is sleeping around with poeple i do think she is a slut or if she has a child. That is why you use a condom or the patch, or pill. Like i said you don't do things without weighing the consequences of the actions.

[QUOTE]There is no such thing as actually freedom. You have to put restrictions on things to have a productive society. That is why murdering and stealing is wrong. Do you think if we had the freedom to do what ever we pleased that we would even be alive? As a human society we need boundaries to survive, oreveryone would be dead, raping people, stealing and what not [QUOTE]

wuu that took alot
