I don't think it is murder because it's the girls choice and as long as it's not in the belly for more then 3 months then you are fine.

It should be alright, as long as the parent knows she is not financially stable.

Well I'm all in for people doing whatever they want with their body, but the woman here wouldn't just be messing with her body but with the life of the child.
Although the fetus is not aware of life yet, he/she still deserves to have one.

I agree with OP. I think that it completely depends on the situation and that it should NOT be a sporadic event at all!

It's crazy to think that a simple abortion could be the end of an entire life! That life in which interacts with other people daily like you and I! I think people should think more about it than they do prior. It's a little scary to think about at times too.

Completely depends on their race... (Kidding)

It should be legal. Regardless of whether people should or not, isn't America all about freedom? Borederline=Go ahead in most cases here anwyays..

For me it does come down to the situation at hand. If a woman has been raped she should have the right to terminate the pregnancy if she wants. The same goes for a woman who is placing her life at risk carrying the child to term. However, although I may frown upon other reasons why a woman may chose to abort a child, I also know that its not my place to judge. No one should be allowed to tell someone else what they can and can not do with their own body. This is a decision that a woman should be allowed to make for herself. After all she is the one who will have to live with the decision after the fact, not a church or a group of politicians.

I believe abortion should be conditional too. If the woman was raped, she should have every right to abortion, however, if it was by choice, the woman needs to take care of the child. Unfortunately, this brings forth other issues. Some women aren't fit to be parents, and that is unfortunate for the child, who has to be raised by a terrible parent, who had the child, irresponsibly. It's a crazy issue. I think something like this should go through a court, unless the woman was raped.

What do you guys think of abortion?

My opinion:
Well I think it all depends on the situation of abortion. If the women was raped, and didn't want to have a baby, then that's a good reason for abortion, because if they didn't abort the baby, the baby would live an awful life with her mom, knowing that she didn't want here.

And bad reason for abortion is if your a 15 year old slut who had sex without

No. abortion is down right cruel no matter what the situation is... i think every unborn child deserves a life or at least a chance at it, aborting a baby is worse than murder. that baby has no sins, no experiences, has done no wrong.. I strongly disagree with the idea of abortion. The right to decide whether an unborn child gets a shot in life.
I think people who abort babies are cruel and heartless, even though they got raped. its still a living being, its very cruel.

I agree with you in what you said in the OP. What about our society that thinks abortion is wrong but they frown upon teenage parents? I don't think that's right at all.

No offense, but this has to be one of the stupidest posts I've read lately.
Aborting an embryo/fetus is not "murder". Unless blowjob is cannibalism, because technically sperms are "alive" too, mind - if that's your definition of life. How many potential babies have these people wanked away, should probably be executed for their crimes against humanity then.

Before the third trimester, there is not even a remote possibility of the fetus developing consciousness - so the rights of the mother outweighs that of the fetus. The mother need not go through immense physical and emotional trauma of having an unwanted child.
