Non of us have the right to take life !
Let alone one that cannot defend itself.
I lost a child to abortion through religeous posturing (out of wedlock) and believe me the loss will
never leave me, even though I have now had five more beautiful children I still, to this day, mourn
my first child's loss. |

Abortion is murder of an innocent life! Parents should be more responsible, full stop! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
The only way abortion should be legal is if it is self-induced or through suicide. Any women who
isn't willing to kill her own unborn child in a way that might harm her shouldn't be having sex in
the first place. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
All life should be respected from conception until natural death. There should be more abortion
alternatives available such as adoption. Obviously there are extreme circumstances such as rape or
medical emergencies it should be different but most of the time it is not. There are so many things
to look consider for those who think it is nothing more then an embryo. Look at all the things that
are developed in the first stage of teh pregnancy, a beating heart, brain waves, gender, individual
fingerprints, how can anyone say that is not a human? What were the rights of women such as Gianna
Jessen and Melissa Ohden, both who survived late term abortions as infants. |

It's killing an innocent being. There an easy solution to this, if you don't want to get pregnant,
don't have sex. Its that simple. But getting pregnant and killing it? It's better to have the baby
and give it to a family who cant have a baby or a loving family. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It is murder. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
If you do not want to have a child, don't have sex. Take responsibility for your actions. Abortion
is inherently a selfish act. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It is murder in the first degree! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes! If someone has messed up and doesn't want the kid, they can face the consequences, and give
birth. Then if they still don't want the child, they can give it up for adoption. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Anyone who is dumb enough to perform an illegal abortion through unsafe measures are responsible for
their own consequences. PRO LIFE....no I'm not catholic |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Abortion is terrible you would not want to be aborted would you |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Um it's wrong yes accidents happen abortion is murdering a human being put it up for adoption |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Abortion should be banned because it's murder!!! I might sound like the biggest jerk in the planet
when i say this but if you got pregnant it's your own fault for not having a condom!! A baby can't
defend itself if you try killing it, it's not fair for them!! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It should be banned because it is unfair to the baby. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Abortion does not make you unpregnant, it makes you the mother of a dead child. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I want to banned abortions and there only can be one acceptation if the girl gets raped other than
that its here fault for having sex without out knowing she might get pregnant what it you were that
child are you happy your alive why kill something that hasn't had a chance |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
All unborn people are precious lives and deserve their rights to live too, same as anyone. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yeah. Abortion should be banned
if you're stupid enough to not use protection and then have sex whose fault is it?. It's not fair to
kill an unborn child because of your stupid mistake. You never know that child could probably make
history for something they did, but your not letting the child live. People make mistakes yes. But
this is someone's LIFE were talking about. I just think it's murder of an unborn child. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Abortion should be banned, because its murder.
It's a baby a cute baby, I don't understand why would anyone one let a lone a mother do something
like that. The mother doesn't have the right to abort. It's not right. The could give it to adoption
but that would be kind of stupid. A baby brings happiness. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes, it should be banned...everyone should have the right to live...sadly in this country the
mother's choice is held above the right of the baby to live. So sad... |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
The parents knew what they were getting into that one night. They should pay the consequence for
doing it. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I agree that abortion is wrong. Abortion is just a way for pregnant woman to avoid responsibility.
And it is murder. We know that living things grow. And everyone knows that the babies grow inside
their moms!
And on the topic of rape- even if a woman gets raped, does that give her the right to kill an
innocent child? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Every child has it right to live. So if you don't want the child, don't have sex... |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I also think abortion should be banned for the foetus still has a spirit and has anyone else heard
what they call abortion- 'the silent scream'. We may not be able to hear it but when you abort a
foetus it is in so much pain that it screams as it dies. Ever since i heard that i made the decision
never to have an abortion. So what if it endangers my life...so what if the child is disabled...If
you choose to have a child or more to the point if God chooses to give you a gift which is in the
form of a baby, you should accept it with open arms. Do we realise that this is the same sort of
thing as euthanasia except worse because with euthanasia people generally get a choice to end their
life? You end the foetus' life.....you end an adult's life....it is all the same!! Wrong!!! God
chooses when we should die, he gives us euthanasia clinics and abortion clinics to test us ready for
judgement day. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
You wouldn't walk up to a stranger and kill them so what is different about getting a baby killed
inside you, it is still a person we saw a presentation at CCD (weekend religious thing) and it is
sad. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Its inhumane.....I absolutely agree that it should be banned!!!!!! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Abortion is murder. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Its wrong unless there is a situation given by which you would need an abortion |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes unless you have to have it b/c of your life depends on said abortion or you were rappd |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes, the reason being is, think of our older generation. The most important people in this world
who have influenced you could have been killed because their parents or mothers did not want them...
Your friends, your role models, musicians, your star actors, actresses, favorite reporter, favorite
priest, pastor, president, BROTHER, SISTER, MOTHER, FATHER...
Think of that before you commit a crime. Not a crime in people's eyes, but a crime in life itself.
Life could have chosen to take you. God could have chosen to not give you a breath or a heart beat.
To give or to take life is not a human choice, it is a miracle given to the chosen people. Things
happen in life for a reason. In reality, my sister was told that her son was not forming correctly
and he may have some complications if not prematurely born. She continued and with FAITH she said
that's OK, I'll have him anyway. My nephew is now 1.5 years old. He is the most precious baby I
have ever seen. He has dirty blond /reddish hair with the most beautiful sky-blue eyes and a smile
to light anyone's day. An Angel in our family. I understand that not everyone has such miracles,
but it is a miracle. Some families have children that might have had complications, but STILL. That
is part of you women. It is your own flesh and blood. I promise you that about 80% of you who have
thought about having an abortion, when you hold that child in your arms, you will regret even
thinking of it in the first place.
One more thing, if his mother had chosen to have an abortion or chosen to end her life, you would
not have heard the classical and infoumas BEETHOVEN. Read his story and you will be amazed. He was
an amazing child. Some say that his mother was a drunk and out of seven kids, she only had 3. Miss
carried the rest. Beethoven, was deaf, and refused to speak. :) See, life has it's own miracles.
You win some and you lose some, but you can never have it ALL.
One of my former co-workers had an abortion several years ago, there is not a day that I worked with
her that she told me she regrets it. Her doctor told her that her child may not be healthy and will
have several disabilities. She chose the Doctors words instead of having faith and aborted the
child. She is regretting it to this day. Ladies, please please, think long and hard before making
such decision. Some of you will only have 1 (ONE) chance. |

I agree ...when a woman gets an abortion the fetus (baby) actually moves away from the danger and
tries to survive...even as little and undeveloped as they are they can still think and feel. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It is our unalienable right to live, and no matter what part of the cycle it is in it is still a
living object, and deserves a chance at a life. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Abortion doctors should be charged with murder and then sentenced to the same fate as the babies
they killed. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I agree. Prolife all the way. Things happen for a reason. No child ever conceived is an accident. If
you don't want the baby you should give the baby to a nice couple who can't have kids. Lots of
people want babies that can't have them. It is senseless and to kill a defenseless, innocent, unborn
baby. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think instead they should put the child for adoption so a couple that couldn't have kids could
have one and the child will have love and care |
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
People trying to enforce their own moral beliefs in immoral in its own right.
Fetuses can't even think. Nothing so much as "I'm hungry" passes through their mushy proto-brains.
Would you have any remorse in killing a plant? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I believe in the right to choose.
Murder-unlawful premeditated killing of a human being by a human being-
A fetus is not yet a human being. In fact in some cases a fetus is refered to as an animal.
Fetus-an unborn or unhatched vertebrate in the later stages of development showing the main
recognizable features of the mature animal. Taken from google definitions.

Will someone tell me who defines the sanctity of life in this argument? God? Politicians? Doctors?
Science? The only right we have as humans is to die. Everything else should be considered a
privledge |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think that ABORTIONS should be illegal except for rape cases... I think that if the chik wants to
do the dirty deed then they have to care for the seed... But in a rape case then they should be
allowed to terminate their child because they had no choice to get pregnant... |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Women should have control over their own bodies; they have to carry the child during pregnancy and
undergo child-birth. No-one else carries the child for her; it will be her responsibility alone, and
thus she should have the sole right to decide. These are important events in a woman’s life, and
if she does not want to go through the full nine months and subsequent birth, then she should have
the right to choose not to do so. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I personally believe that abortion should be allowed in society. A woman should have the control
over her own body and the choice if she would like to raise a child.
During the first few weeks of pregnancy, the brain of the fetus has not developed so it is barely
human. There are also many reasons why a woman may consider abortion like if she does not have the
money to support it, if it is going to be born with a disability, a potential problem or if it is
just an inconvenience. Also, if a woman is a victim of rape or incest they wouldn't want to raise a
child against their will.
If abortion is not legalized, pregnant women who are very desperate will have to go through a
backyard abortion. This abortion is done illegally by people who are not qualified as doctors and in
some cases criminals. The likelihood of what would happen is that the woman will end up being
exploited by criminals or suffer excruciating pain and even death.
Just remember accidents can happen and we should live in a world of freedom as pregnant women should
have the freedom to abort an unborn child. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I've heard unborn children begin to feel pain during the 3rd month of pregnancy. I think after this
point abortion should be illegal, but in the first 3 months of pregnancy abortion is okay. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
No what if a young girl has been raped or something and she is forced to live with a baby ! Its not
right to ban abortion if a mother is unfit to take care of it that would only be making the child
suffer !
I do undeerstand that abortion in some cases should be banned. But you could not get rid of it
alltogether. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Abortion should be allowed because the mother obviously has a good reason and doesn't want the child
to go through the pain and struggle of growing up. Without the proper guidance and support the child
might grow up to get in trouble with the law and such things. If the mother knows she is unable to
take care of the child then why continue with the pregnancy. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I Wouldnt Suggest it But If Wass Needed And You Really Didnt Want To Go Through it Then i Would
Suggest It Or Maybe Put The Baby Up For Adoption |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I dont think it should because some body may not want to have a kid at that time in their life or
dont think they are ready
If it is what makes a women happy and have a better life than she wud with a child let abortion take
place |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
The woman is obviously having an abortion for a good reason and maybe the baby would have a rubbish
life so it is actually being cruel to be kind! XD |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I believe they're pretty much seamonkies until the third trimester. But besides that, I think it's
better to take care of the children already in the world, rather than abuse the ones created by
being unable to take care of them, or stuffing them into foster homes. PWND. PS, you really want
abortion banned? Take a look at Will Ferrell. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Women have the right to decide for themselves whether or no they have a kid and the govt. Shouldnt
be deciding for them! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I'm very pro-choice, and my opinion on this is due to my belief that death is more merciful than a
horrible life, which many women who decide not to receive an abortion will more than likely give
their children. I think that ninety percent of the parents in this world should not be parents, and
ultimately screw their children up irrevocably-not to mention the increasing problem of
overpopulation, which no one seems to care about , even though it could adversely effect our quality
of life. Anyway, this is someone speaking form experience on the unfit parent issue- I myself was
neglected(and occasionally abused) as a child. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I see that everyone that is PRO-LIFE all agrees that a child has a right to live because it is alive
and the mother has no right to take that life... I wonder though, do you eat meat? Do you eat
vegetables? Living matter exist everywhere, how do you claim to be PRO-LIFE and simply select which
lives to value more? |

Abortion absolutely shouldn't be banned. Under certain circumstances I find abortion acceptable
(rape, maternal life, health, mental health, socioeconomic factors, and/or fetal defects). The fetus
should be no older than 12 weeks. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I know I'm totally going against my religion here but...
When a teenage girl 'accidentally' gets prego and her family is a bad influence or any other bad
thing, they need to get rid of it. I know that sounds mean and all, but when you think of it and you
put yourself in that position, if the baby wont be treated right then why have it at all? Remember
this my friends: Accidents DO happen, no matter how big or how small, but the person/people must
receive forgiveness. |

No because if a rape victim where to get pregnant she should have to carry that responsibility. That
reminder would drive me crazy. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
You know it's hard....some people just are being stupid at a party or something, or maybe are raped!
Either way they might end up having a bastard child, that's a bad thing, but it does happen, and
they might not be ready for it |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I would never abort my baby. But that's my decision and i sympathize with those on the for banning
abortion side. I feel its wrong but you know what? You make your own decision. |
| |
|

Sometimes it is needed |

We should ban miscarriages too!
Because it's wasting life and the child has no choice either...
We should also ban anyone from smoking. In case there is a pregnant woman close.
We should ask the featus what it would like its mother to eat, in case it does not want certain
substances in it.
Lets just take away all the rights of a pregnant woman while we are at it!!!
Has anyone been to Romania recently, I spent a week working at an orphanage there, and most of the
children had mental disabilities from illegal abortions, because either the mother got raped or they
could not support their child and the Government had banned abortions so they resorted to other
methods.
This would happen anywhere where abortions were banned.
What would the "baby" think of that? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I don't like it but I have say. That what if someone is raped or sexual abused or something like
that. I hate it but it is there right on what they should do. It is under are constitution that we
have are rights. If we banned it then we would be undergoing the constitution. This is a more
religious thing then personal and should be steeped out of the way for now till we can get the
country back on are feet. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes i am really against abortion bcaz its murder but think if sum girl got raped and became pregnant
she might have a hard time raising the child and telling them that there father was a rapist. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
If abortion should be banned everybody should be killed...how many lives have you ended in your life
? Deliberately or not, directly or not. Yes I'm talking about that gross spider you squished, that
ant you trampled upon, the cow killed for your desire of tasty meat, that tree sawed down for your
furniture and bacteria you killed because they made you sick.
Consider all examples and any other similar case natural or not murder and abortion murder then you
are hypocrite.
If you consider abortion murder then all things mentioned above and more make you as much of a
murderer as anybody who made the decision to abort a pregnancy. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes, abortion is used as an option way too much! Though, if we ban it ... My example of someone not
being able to say 100% is this...a young girl, raped, and becomes pregnant?? Should she have to
carry the child?? I do not think abortion is black or white! There are circumstances that arise
that it should not be banned.It should just not be so accessible! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Life ends when the brain stops working, so life should begin when the brain STARTS working
logically, right? In an embryo, the brain doesn't even form until about 2 months into the pregnancy,
so any abortion before that, I do not consider murder. And I also think it should be a woman's
personal choice. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
No, it is a choice and for so many reasons. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Sometimes medical conditions that threaten the mother's life, extremely few though, mandate
terminating a pregnancy. To let the mother die to save the baby means the mother was simply seen as
an expendable baby carrying vehicle.
A woman should never be forced to carry the child of a rapist (unless she wants to) because that
mother would psychologically feel she was being raped every day for the rest of her life. She would
feel she has no value as a human being. Being forced to carry a rapist's child is also rape! And
in all possibility, a man evil enough to rape would probably lay claim to the child just to
permanently damage the mother. She would never be free of him. The rapist would see that his
violent action has more value than her personhood. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I personally wouldn't have an abortion, but I do not think it's fair to take away everyone's right,
God gives us the choice to commit sin, to chose the right thing who are we to take away a choice God
has given us? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I disagree. Abortion should not be banned.
There are enough children growing up in poverty because their parent's cannot take care of them.
Some people do not have the stability or maturity to be raising a child.
Some people have diseases (like HIV or AIDS) which can be passed to their child. Children born with
disease are likely to die early in their lives anyways.
What about alcoholics, cokeheads or heroin addicts? Should they be allowed to abort?
Also, like many have already said, women who have been raped should be allowed to abort their
children if they choose.
Like everything, sometimes the pros outweigh the cons. Sometimes, the woman is focusing on what is
best for her life. Sometimes, the woman considers what would be best for her child. I think the
most responsible thing is to think about the type of life that child may have had if the decision
had been made to keep it. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

The fact that a perspective mother wants to abort their offspring says it all. This child is NOT
wanted. The world is full of unwanted children already. The vast majority of them drop out of
school, get into drugs, get pregnant or end up in trouble/prison and are little more than a burden
to society. We need more abortions not less. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
A ban on abortion is downright ludicrous. Aside from obvious exceptions such as rape and incest,
the opposition's arguments are all based around the fact that killing a fetus is equivalent to
killing a human. Since there is no agreement on when life actually begins in humans, this must be
left to individual discretion. If you think abortion is murder, then don't have one. Other
mothers, however, may think differently than you, and they must be allowed control over their own
bodies. |
