Well I'm pro abortion, I think the baby is not a baby until it's to big to abort, tho I do love baby's and if I get pregnant what the hey, I'll keep it, but if I got raped then I WILL have it aborted, it's that simple, no one takes away my pride, my dignity then expects me to carry something that was meant to go into the bedsheets, I would never give the rapist the honor of me having his child, I would not bring him the joy of being a father of a child, tho some other weak woman would do that, then I can say for myself I that I would abort the rape baby,


If I'm not sick, or the pregnancy was caused by a rape, then I'll definitely keep the baby.

So I'm pro abortion.

It seams to me that the ones that are mostly against this are the ones that have no say in this, weird.

And yes I'm that interdependent that I won't let the father of my baby tell me what I'll do to the baby,
If I want to keep it then I will, if I want it out then it's going out.
 
The baby is never too big to kill, unless it's already born, but in some countries like Japan, they aren't officially counted as born until 72 hours after they leave the womb, meaning a child can be killed legally.

It's actually not all that easy to get pregnant - many married couples try for ages without any success. While there are those who are unfortunate enough to become impregnated, is it fair to kill the child for the fathers crime? Would you execute the children of a murderer (or the abortionist)?

"Since men can't get pregnant, they have nothing to say about abortion." If that were true, doctors couldn't treat a disease unless they had it first. How could we train funeral directors when they have never died? How can we oppose Hitler's genocide if we're not Germans or Jews — or slavery if we were not slaves or slave holders? In any case, each child has a father. And 52% of all unborn babies are boys.

And it's as much the father's child as it is the mother's. You just want to kill the baby when you could give birth and never see it again.

The father? It takes two to have any chance of getting pregnant.

It takes two, but in couple of years the men won't be needed, they can take cell's from the woman or other womans (Most likely other womans since the gens need to be different so the baby will be healthy) and make a child from the cells, I don't remember when I read this, but it was in a magazine within the past 2 years.

Amen to that!
 
Usually in these kind of things i vote the choice closest to: "I don't care"

But in this case...I am no.

I think the fact that you are killing an innocent child is horrible...

Now, I know this may not have been the womans choice to become pregnant, but,

Why kill the baby? Why not give it to a loving family who are unable to hae kids of their own..

Why not put it up for adoption?..

Surely that's better than killing a baby.

If that girl ended up getting pregnant, rape or otherwise, it was part of God's plan for her. But if she aborts it, taking that innocent life would be interfering with God's plan. Everything happens for a reason. And remember, a baby is God's opinion that life should go on.

This. I'm glad to see another person not afraid to display their religious beliefs on a pokemon site. =) *Thumbs up*

If a person kills a pregnant woman, he is charged with a double homicide. A fetus is a living child. It is murder to "terminate a pregnancy."

Human childbirth is comparatively dangerous.
I would be very aprehensive.

I am pro-life, but I'm not one to tell anybody what to do with their own body. Also if giving birth to the child would kill the mother and baby or something similar then in that case abortion would be the best option.
It's a hard choice to make.

So you're saying God plans on raping people?

K.
 
Pro-choice.
The option should always be there, I for one don't care if it's easier in your mind to put the child up for adoption, if you think it is, you can push it out and tell me how easy that one, maybe you'll get a nice little c-section scar...
Though I've never been pregnant, nor do I plan on being anytime soon, or for a long time, and if I do I probably will get an abortion because my life isn't exactly on track and I don't need some kid in my stomach making it worse before it's even sentient.

Back in the day people could do whatever they wanted to their slaves, including ending their life. The only difference now is that people think it's alright to kill a life because of it's age, handicap and place of location.

And what's inside her body isn't just a "thing". It's a human life. A unique human life. It may be her body, but not her life. Plus, half of the murdered kids are male.

If the health of the child is in danger an abortion won't help it o_o
If both lives are in danger and both can be saved, fantastic! But it's usually the case that whenever the mother has to have an abortion or else she'll be risking her life, the child is already doomed anyway, so it's better to save one life than to doom both. The problem now is that abortion is mostly used to kill one life instead of saving one.

You're right about the lack of regulation regarding abortion. Accurate records aren't even kept, plus the procedure differs greatly to the way other surgeries are carried out.
[PokeCommunity.com] Pro choice or pro life?

from here

I don't understand why you're okay with the morning after pill, since it works in three ways, two of which are contraception, the final being an abortifacients.

Why the distinction between stages? Nothing changes in between except the child's size - it has human DNA from the start.

Also, you're not pro-life.

Murder is murder. The unborn child is human in every way, and it's murder if you kill it.

It's mostly women who participate in pro-life movements, but regardless, it could be my child. It could be my grandchild. It could be my nephew, niece, or cousin.

It could just be another human life. Why can't I care for that life? Why does the rights of the mother override that of the unborn child? Why can anyone decide whether the unborn child lives or dies?

Furthermore, by your logic doctors wouldn't be able to treat a disease unless they've had the disease.

Thank you! You said exactly what I think about this subject. I was losing hope that anyone else thought the same as I do.

Why 'do' you care for that life? Because the mother wants to "kill" it? Because you think it should have some sort of fighting chance? Another 'why' question, why do you get to decide for someone else if they should put themselves through the months of pregnancy? The fact is you are not that person and you cannot decide for them, the lack of choice is that of saying "we control you and your body".

No, by that logic it would be "doctors cannot treat disease unless they are able to get them", he did not say "only pregnant women and mothers should decide", he said "only those who are able to get pregnant should decide".
 
I might sound down right morally screwed up in the head but i am both. Why? Cause look. Lets say someone who knows everything and such is married. But they arent ready for a kid. Ending up pregnant and such during a marriage wantful or not should be a wonderful thing and you should take the experience now cause you might not think so but everyone no matter how terrible they seem are parents from birth. On the other hand if my girlfriend and i were to have a little bedroom rompus and the safety measures had a loophole i would drag her straight into that office. I am sorry but i am not going to be on the recieving end from her parents until i am old enough to wed.

Well, does that not put you in the same position as someone who says abortions should never, ever happen, under any circumstances. i have the smae thing to say to both parties - the woman is the one who is pregnant, stop telling her what to do. Dragging someone to an abortion clinic and forcing them to abort their baby is completely morally wrong.
 
I think it should be allowed.
But maybe a court could decide.
I mean, if someone was raped then that's fair enough, but if it's jst cause they are some chick that reckons she's all that, no way.
