I'm for abortion, I think if a woman gets raped and is impregnated she should have the right to get the baby aborted. It's a terrible thing to have to go through, but it's something I think women should have the right to get done.

Fully agree.

Its your life, do what you want

Even if it was accidental, there is a great number of women regreting it afterwards, and was even confirmed by a member earlier in the post.
You have to find a balance between morally and rightfully right or wrong. For starters, the doctors should be allowed to choose to do this or not because peoples opinion on this differ, and is therefore something some doctors see as murder. Women should be allowed to choose obviously, up to some point which require further discussion, but should be assigned counseling or something of sorst. This would be to make sure there's things they worry about that could be worked out, that they have their minds completely set and preferrably convince them not to as it would be the best outcome.

While I agree with that, my girlfriend doesn't.
She was raped, multiple times. And she has a child, that she put up for adoption.
I quote "All life is precious, why should I keep a [not my] child from living his because someone hurt me?" She doesn't claim to be the mother because she hasn't raised him.

I say it is a right. It's a woman's right to privacy for her. She can do whatever she wants with her body, whether it's looked down upon or not. It's her choice, she can keep the baby or she can get an abortion. In the end, I don't think males should be able to do anything about this just because of the fact that they physically cannot relate to something like this.

IF it's during the time period when the baby is considered a human/alive you no longer have the "right" to have an abortion. What some people fail to understand is that the mother does not have the right to kill her child. If it is before the period where it is considered alive I still do not believe that there is a "right" to end natural processes but by technicality it is not yet human/alive therefore it is considered possible by law, not by natural law.

regardless of its developmental stage, human life is human life
abortion is the murder of an innocent human being who is still in the womb

[Mom]

It's her body, but that is also the child's body, so I always fail to see how that's a valid argument.

Abortion is killing another human. Whether you're okay with that or not is hardly my problem, but you can't deny you just committed legalized murder and I tend to personally not like murderers. Is it their right? Legally, yes. Naturally? No.

Simple.

[huhlo]

doesn't it amount to killing a life before it has seen the world! use condoms rather than aborting

I think your thread title is a bit misleading. As for any service, abortion is a privilege that can be denied when there is no person, in this case medical professional or doctor, willing to offer the service. In most western states, there are enough doctors willing to perform this service. That is why most people think it has become a right, but a right has to be universally enforceable, which is not the case for healthcare or any service for that matter.

The question you should be posing is wether or not the government should be restricting the use of the service. Which I do not support. Personally I think that abortion in cases of rape or for medical reasons should be legal in any country. Whatever religion is dominant in the given country. Abortion that is out of free will, to put it frankly, is understandably denied in most religious countries. I do still believe that it should be up to the woman to decide wether or not to keep the offspring. As it is part of the fundamental right of self determination (Which is universally enforceable).
