What are your views on the controversial Abortion issue?

I support abortion for various personal reasons. Although, I do respect other people's views that may conflict with my own, unless if it's prejudice, threatening, or violent in any way. Thank you!

For the pro-life idiots:

Pregnancy should be a choice. How can somebody force a woman to carry an unwanted child? That is abuse. NOBODY can and/or should be forced to physically do something they don't approve of. Carrying a child for 9 months requires alot of PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL energy and strength. Being pregnant is not as easy or as pleasant as some may think. Being pregnant means being EMOTIONALLY and FINANCIALLY ready to have a child. Why would somebody even think about having a child when they are on the verge of going bankrupt, living on the streets, and not being able to support themselves? How can you expect them to support a living, breathing child emotionally and physically? Why would you introduce a child to such a miserable life? They are better off dead. Poverty sticken people have the right to have sexual pleasure and sometimes, even if protection is used, mistakes happen; That does NOT mean that they should be bringing a child into this world.
Abortion is also an option for the more financially secure people. Accidents ALWAYS happen; Condoms can break, Birth control is not 100% effective, and sometimes people just forget to use protection or don't have protection at the time. That does NOT mean that they should have an unwanted child. Something else which has happened many times is RAPE. Many girls have been raped in the past and were forced to carry a child. That is the stupidest thing ever! How does that make any sense? Why should somebody be forced to carry a child which is the product of RAPE? Why would somebody even want to mother a criminal's child which is only alive because of a TRAUMATIZING experience? That's insane! Abortion is not wrong. Anybody who says "Abortion is murder" is an ignorant fool who should use their brain and THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BIBLE. Abortion is not murder. [ MURDER- Noun. The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice. ] THIS IS COMMON SENSE: How can abortion be considered "murder" when the fetus was never even born? If the "baby" is not breathing and living on its own, without the the help of the mother's body, It can not be "murdered". Somebody can not be murdered untill they are born! It just does not make sense to call it "murder".
Most pregnancies are terminated before the fetus is even visible. How can it be considered murder when the fetus is almost invisible? The fetus can not feel a thing therefore nobody can say it is "wrong". Even if the fetus is already visible, "living", and breathing, it is not a REAL life. Think about it this way: If you took a 4 month old fetus out of the body of a woman, it would NOT be able to survive on its own. It is only a REAL life when the baby is viable; when it can survive on its own without the help of the mother's body...Otherwise, it is just a potential at life and NOTHING ELSE.
Even I admit that abortion during the third trimester is WRONG. For example: If you took a 7 1/2 or 8 month old baby out of a mother's body, as opposed to a four month old fetus (as I mentioned above), it is more than just a potential at life, it IS life. That 7-8 month old fetus has the chance of surviving outside of the mother's body at that early of an "age" (with medical assistance, of course) while the four month old fetus has NO chance at survival no matter how much medical assistance is provided.
Anyway, This is not about the fetus, about what it can "feel", or about what's right or wrong, It's about the Mother. A woman's body is a woman's body and NOBODY can force her to do something she doesn't want to do with her body. When a woman is pregnant, it is still HER body and ONLY her body and she can do whatever she wants with it. A woman should not be forced to go through 9 months of Physical and emotional discomfort for something that will be born into a fucked up, unwanted child. Forced pregnancies will only give the child a bad life. The child won't have sufficent love, emotional, physical, and [in some cases] financial support. This child will most likely not have a quality life and does not deserve to go through so many difficulties. The mother also does not deserve to have to deal with an unwanted child; She should not have to waste time, money, and energy to raise an unwanted child which was brought into this world by force. It is NOT fair.
Also, It is NOT about the fetus! It's about the mother! Who cares about the fetus? Since when is a tiny piece cells and tissue that can NOT feel anything more important than a grown woman? NEVER! Women are more important!

Something important:Men do NOT have the right to stop a woman from getting an abortion. Abortion is ONLY the woman's business because it is HER body and HER choice and any man's opinion does NOT count; he does not have the right to stop the woman from getting an abortion and/or judge and critisize a woman who has had an abortion, has considered getting an abortion, or one who will get one in the future. How dare a man even say that abortion is wrong when he is a MAN? He will NEVER IN HIS LIFE get pregnant. Men don't have the slightest clue about what it is like to be a woman. How can a man say abortion is wrong when he doesn't nor will he ever understand the phyiscal and emotional difficulty of pregnancy? IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. If you're a man, I suggest you SHUT THE **** UP and GET A CLUE; The day your penis turns into a vagina and your body changes to accomodate a child inside your stomach, you will have the right to talk about abortion...Too bad that will never happen so shut the **** up. You never will have to carry a child and i'm 100% sure no man would ever want to, so why do you all assume that a WOMAN would want to?

Another big issue: Abortion is none of anybody's business aside from the mother. If all you brainwashed, brainless, ignorant, stupid, highschool drop-out, trailer trash, bible freak, pro-life whores are so anti abortion then don't get an abortion! It's THAT easy. Just worry about yourself and leave everybody else alone! Stay out of everybody's business. If we want to "kill" fetuses, then we can. It's our business, so go get a life and stay out of our lives.

Also, Many people say: "Why would you kill a child when you can just give it up for adoption? There are so many people who want children but can't have any."
That is the stupidest thing ever! Why should somebody have to suffer for 9 months? Why would they want to carry a child for no reason? Going through so much emotional and physical discomfort for 9 months is pointless if you will just go back to your life as if nothing happened and you will have no affiliation with the child afterwards...You will be thinking: "What did I just waste the last 9 months of my life doing? I could have accomplished so much in those 9 months. I can't believe I went through so much pain just to bring a child into this world whom I will never see again. etc etc"
It is a waste of time! You are only making YOUR life worse.

Even if you do go through 9 months of pregnancy to carry an unwanted child, You WON'T want to give it up for adoption after you see it. It's not that easy. Do you really think that you can give a child away after you've gone through so much to give it life and after you've had it come out of you, held it, heard it cry, etc? NO! Even if it was an unwanted child, It's not THAT easy! After it is born, You will want it.

BUT...Let's say that you DO give it up for adoption, Don't be so sure that somebody will adopt it. Please remember that there are SO many foster homes with children who have been living there for years and have been waiting for a family to adopt them. There are plenty of children in this world who don't have families, so whoever says "There are so many parents who can't have children but want children and there aren't enough in this world" are idiots! Look around you, this world is so overpopulated! Go to your local foster home and you'll see so many sad children without families. Why don't you adopt them all since you're so "Pro-life"?
The world does not need anymore unwanted children. There is not an 100% chance that you child will be adopted. If there were an 100% chance, then there wouldn't be SO many children out there without families.

Why abortion is LEGAL, should REMAIN LEGAL, and why abortion is RIGHT:

1. Laws against abortion kill women. To prohibit abortions does not stop them. When women feel it is absolutely necessary, they will choose to have abortions, even in secret, without medical care, in dangerous circumstances. In the two decades before abortion was legal in the U.S., it's been estimated that nearly a million women per year sought out illegal abortions. Thousands died. Tens of thousands were mutilated. All were forced to behave as if they were criminals.

2. Legal abortions protect women's health. Legal abortion not only protects women's lives, it also protects their health. For tens of thousands of women with heart disease, kidney disease, severe hypertension, sickle-cell anemia and severe diabetes, and other illnesses that can be life-threatening, the availability of legal abortion has helped avert serious medical complications that could have resulted from childbirth. Before legal abortion, such women's choices were limited to dangerous illegal abortion or dangerous childbirth.

3. A woman is more than a fetus. Some people argue these days that a fetus is a "person" that is "indistinguishable from the rest of us" and that it deserves rights equal to women's. On this question there is a tremendous spectrum of religious, philosophical, scientific, and medical opinion. It's been argued for centuries. Fortunately, our society has recognized that each woman must be able to make this decision, based on her own conscience. To impose a law defining a fetus as a "person," granting it rights equal to or superior to a woman's — a thinking, feeling, conscious human being — is arrogant and absurd. It only serves to diminish women.

4. Being a mother is just one option for women. Many hard battles have been fought to win political and economic equality for women. These gains will not be worth much if reproductive choice is denied. To be able to choose a safe, legal abortion makes many other options possible. Otherwise an accident or a rape can end a woman's economic and personal freedom.

5. Outlawing abortion is discriminatory. Anti-abortion laws discriminate against low-income women, who are driven to dangerous self-induced or back-alley abortions. That is all they can afford. But the rich can travel wherever necessary to obtain a safe abortion.

6. Compulsory pregnancy laws are incompatible with a free society. If there is any matter that is personal and private, then pregnancy is it. There can be no more extreme invasion of privacy than requiring a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term. If government is permitted to compel a woman to bear a child, where will government stop? The concept is morally repugnant. It violates traditional American ideas of individual rights and freedoms.

7. Outlaw abortion, and more children will bear children. Forty percent of 14-year-old girls will become pregnant before they turn 20. This could happen to your daughter or someone else close to you. Here are the critical questions: Should the penalty for lack of knowledge or even for a moment's carelessness be enforced pregnancy and childrearing? Or dangerous illegal abortion? Should we consign a teenager to a life sentence of joblessness, hopelessness, and dependency?

8. "Every child a wanted child." If women are forced to carry unwanted pregnancies to term, the result is unwanted children. Everyone knows they are among society's most tragic cases, often uncared-for, unloved, brutalized, and abandoned. When they grow up, these children are often seriously disadvantaged, and sometimes inclined toward brutal behavior to others. This is not good for children, for families, or for the country. Children need love and families who want and will care for them.

9. Choice is good for families. Even when precautions are taken, accidents can and do happen. For some families, this is not a problem. But for others, such an event can be catastrophic. An unintended pregnancy can increase tensions, disrupt stability, and push people below the line of economic survival. Family planning is the answer. All options must be open.

At the most basic level, the abortion issue is not really about abortion. It is about the value of women in society. Should women make their own decisions about family, career, and how to live their lives? Or should government do that for them? Do women have the option of deciding when or whether to have children? Or is that a government decision? The anti-abortion leaders really have a larger purpose. They oppose most ideas and programs that can help women achieve equality and freedom. They also oppose programs that protect the health and well-being of women and their children.

Anti-abortion leaders claim to act "in defense of life." If so, why have they worked to destroy programs that serve life, including prenatal care and nutrition programs for dependent pregnant women? Is this respect for life?

Anti-abortion leaders also say they are trying to save children, but they have fought against health and nutrition programs for children once they are born. The anti-abortion groups seem to believe life begins at conception, but it ends at birth. Is this respect for life?

Then there are programs that diminish the number of unwanted pregnancies before they occur: family planning counseling, sex education, and contraception for those who wish it. Anti-abortion leaders oppose those, too. And clinics providing such services have been bombed. Is this respect for life?

Such stances reveal the ultimate cynicism of the compulsory pregnancy movement. "Life" is not what they're fighting for. What they want is a return to the days when a woman had few choices in controlling her future. They think that the abortion option gives too much freedom. That even contraception is too liberating. That women cannot be trusted to make their own decisions.

Americans today don't accept that. Women can now select their own paths in society, including when and whether to have children. Family planning, contraception, and, if need be, legal abortion are critical to sustaining women's freedom. There is no going back. (+ info)

At 5 weeks pregnant I started bleeding & went to the ER & was diagnosed with a threatened abortion?

(meaning I still could be preg) So I have to return next wk to get my blood checked. it's been 4 days & i'm still bleeding (it started out brown & now it's red) & cramping. Has this happeded to anyone & still ended up been pregnant?
I guess I'm just hoping I still am, but I think I'm prob not :(
Thanks!

----------

I'm sorry to hear this. :( While it doesn't sound good... You can only do what is within your power. And if you are a praying woman, let this pregnancy be in God's hands. Things you can do: Pray, think positively, stay off your feet - rest with your feet elevated and drink lots of fluids. I would add try not to worry to the list but that is impossible. All the best to you... (+ info)

threatened abortion and no fetal heart beat? -questions?

Background info: I was 9+ weeks pregnant, when 3 days ago I recently noticed some light spotting. An ultrasound was performed showing that the embryo hadn't grown larger than 6.6 weeks, AND no fetal heart beat, the spotting has been getting worse..

1: If you've had this, how long did it take to take for the actual miscarriage to finish?

2. If you've had this, were subsequent pregnancies successful?

3. The doctors want me to go for another scan, just to see if it was to early to see the heart beat, but a fetus sized 6.6 weeks should have a heartbeat right? And, I know when I conceived, and it sure wasn't 6.6 weeks ago....
A threatened abortion is a medical term describing a situation where a miscarriage could happen, Action Jackson, I don't WANT A F"NG abortion, I am devastated...maybe your answer is the right answer to a different question..A-hole...
A threatened abortion is a medical term describing a situation where a miscarriage could happen, Action Jackson, I don't WANT A F"NG abortion, I am devastated...I am not trying to kill a fetus, B*&t-ch

----------

I just wanted to let you know that this exact thing happened to me this past June. What you just described is exactly what I went through..It's scary. At any rate, my doctor told me I should distance myself from the baby. When I went in I had the spotting and thought I was 10 weeks. Ultrasound only said6 weeks and the fetal heartrate was there but only at 80. Anyway, I tried to stay optimistic, but within three days my spotting turned to blood. I had a dnc the next day after another ultrasound showed no heartbeat. I became pregnant within a month of my dnc. I am currently 17 weeks and so far things are going just fine. I will tell you this pregnancy has been so scary and stressful because I am constantly worried. You're in my thoughts and prayers. (+ info)

Do you think i will miscarry. im 17 years old and worried =[

----------

Please don't get an abortion! Don't be afraid of the baby being premature. Some babies are born 3 or 4 months premature and are healthy. Good Luck! (+ info)

Question's about threatened abortion.?

----------

I had some spotting and light bleeding all the way up to my 6th month with my daughter. She is here now and healthy. Heavy bleeding is not a good sign and the fact that the heart rate is only 100bpm is not very good. At this stage in your pregnancy, the heart rate should be way faster than that. If you have bleeding that soaks a pad in an hour, pass tissue or clots, and have severe abdominal cramping, those are signs of miscarriage, go to the ER immediately if this occurs. I hope it works out for you. (+ info)

My sister had an abortion recently and here is the weird thing?

her health dramatically improved. She was carrying for roughly two months and was dreadfully sick. She is 5'1 and barely 100lb (before pregnancy) and after conception, she became very pale, lathargic, and sickly. She decided that this wasnt right and felt her health worsening by the day. So she made the decision and now a couple weeks later, she feels back to her old self.

I mention this becuase those who claim the issue to be black and white must understand, its not. In this situation, like many others, the pregnancy threatens the mothers well-being almost to the point of death, yet fundalmentalists dont care because they see it as life that should never be destroyed regardless of the circumstances. Well if "God" was indeed behind all of this as you claim, then why would he or she allow my sister to be killed (and thusly the fetus as well) were it not for her own decision to save herself?

I'm curious, really. What can you say? God has a plan? Whats that plan exactly?

----------

It sounds like she had severe morning sickness, which can carry on all day in some people. Because your sister is so small and thin to begin with, her body does not have enough fat on it to sustain a pregnancy, expecially if she is prone to morning sickness. I think she did the right thing for her health. Before she tries getting pregnant again, I would suggest she gain some weight, and build up some fat storage so if she does get severe morning sickness, she will have some reserves.

The 1st trimester of pregnancy typically, is when morning sickness is most common. Your body is going through a lot of hormonal changes and that makes you very tired, lethargic, and can even make you not able to think clearly. The best cure for morning sickness, and I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, is smoking marijuana. I know a lady who is pregnant right now, and the only way she can eat or drink is if she smokes a little pot in the morning. I know it's illegal, and everybody's going to say it's going to cause birth defects, and all sorts of horrible things, but take it from someone who knows, there is no proof what-so-ever, that it does cause birth defects, etc... I smoked it through all 3 pregnancy's, my kids are all very healthy, intelligent, productive members of society. They had no birth defects, or allergies, or any other damage supposedly caused by marijuana. I also know many people who have done the same, and guess what? They all have healthy, exceptionally smart kids, just like me. If it works , it works. The powers that be want us to think it's this horrible drug, etc..., but there is no concrete proof. The government won't legalize it because they make more money off of it, being illegal. I know it doesn't make sense, but it's the truth.

I just thought of another possibility as to why your sister got so sick. Did she have an RH test done. Sometimes if the mother has one RH factor and the baby has a different RH factor, it can cause the mother's body to reject the baby. I know that they can give a drug called Rogam shot, (probably not spelled right, been a long time) that will correct the problem so the pregnancy can continue to term. (+ info)

My husband is threatening divorce if I have an abortion.What happened to "for better ot worse"?

I'm 27 and have been married for 3 years.We both have very well paid jobs and would be able to give any child the best of everything.Problem is I don't like children and my husband knew that from the start.He told me he was more than willing to give up having children if it meant spending the rest of his life with me.We've taken every precaution possible to make sure we don't get pregant but here I am 6 weeks pregnant.I don't want this baby.It's going to ruin everything,all my hopes and dreams for the future going down the drain.I feel like I'm being punished.He told me that me aborting would be the one thing he would never be able to get past since he considers this baby a miracle.What happened to for better or worse?My parents and my best friend who's been trying to conceive for the last 5 years think I'm being incredibly selfish,but they're not the ones who'll have to deal with a screaming baby when it arrives.Why can't anyone accept my decision?

Geez...i`m glad i don`t have to deal with you!!!! (+ info)

Bush Administration Tries to Redefine Contraception as Abortion?

The New York Times reports that the Bush Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services is drafting a rule that would place new restrictions on domestic family planning programs. While current law allows health care providers and professionals to refuse to provide abortions based on their religious beliefs, this provision would threaten the funding of organizations and health facilities if they do not hire people who would refuse to provide birth control and defines abortion so broadly that it would include many types of birth control, including oral contraception.

Speaker Pelosi released the following statement on the Administration’s draft proposal:

If the Administration goes through with this draft proposal, it will launch a dangerous assault on women’s health.
The majority of Americans oppose this out of touch position that redefines contraception as abortion and represents a sustained pattern of the Bush Administration to reject medical and sound science in favor of a misguided ideology that has no place in our government.

I urge the President to reject this policy and join with Democrats to focus on preventing unintended pregnancies and reducing the need for abortion through increasing access to family planning services and access to affordable birth control.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS????????????

sorry the other wasnt working

I think it's nuts how people always want to tell others what to do. Why limit contraceptives? So we can double the population by 2010 instead of 2025? If a woman decides she is not fit to be a mother and would rather give an already existing child the shot at a good home (as opposed to her newborn) why do people care?! Probably the same people who don't want children taught about what to do when sex does become a part of their lives (which it will no matter how much they don't want it to!) Why not focus instead on the living breathing children (and adults) of the world who already desperately need parents and assistance instead of getting bent about the ones who never will??
Funny what people's priorities are. (+ info)

Should i hate my parents because they made me get an abortion?
