    While I personally would never get an abortion, I don't think its fair to judge someone until you've been in their shoes in that situation.

    Since it is not my body nor my situation I think that any woman has a right to make her own descision . Not to be bullied by pro or anti groups.
    It is not for me to jusdge what is right for another person of whose circumstances i have no knowledge

    My opinion of them wouldn't change in the slightest. In fact, a couple of my friends have had this done for various reasons, and all I could do was offer emotional support. It's their decision, only they know what's best.

    My opinion definitely doesn't matter to anyone's decisions in life, but I'm anti-abortion because I feel that the child didn't ask to be brought into the world, so disposing of him/her- for lack of a better word- is a careless act in my opinion.

    Forgive me if I offend anyone.

    I feel sorry for them wandering lost in this world but more then that I feel sorry for the child.

    I personally would feel sorry for the person who commits the murder of her own child(in any way). One would suffer much loss.Greater than they could think. Even if it took years of ageing to realize it. There are so many couples out there who cannot have anny children and would do anything to raise one for their self. I would hope the baby could have a chance at life too. Even if it is not with the birth mother. People change as they grow so say being a 14 year old pregnant and not knowing what to do gets an abortion..15 years later when they have a totally new prospective on life, they may wonder what have I done.

    So I think it would be a life long piece of sorrow. Not a long life without the baby.

    I personally don't agree with the decision, and I would just wonder about the motivation behind the decision.

    At the same time, it's their decision to make, not mine. I would feel as upset as I would about hearing of any other death on the news... tragic.

    I think it is wrong.
    For a few reasons.
    You should have sex unless you know youre ready to have a child if/when the time comes.
    You dont see a guy take a chain saw to himself and then act all surprised when he got hurt.
    You dont hear him say "A chain saw? That could cut off my leg?!? Why didnt anyone tell me?!?"
    And yet you see all these teenage girls in utter disbeleif when they get PREGNANT from SEX like they didnt know what SEX was even about!
    I know there are alot of forms of birth control but they dont work 100% of the time and alot of people just disreguard that little fact.
    Anddd look what happends.

    If they feel its best for them and their unborn child then i believe it is right, although i dont think i could do it but im not in that situation. Im religious and thats why i believe it is not my place to judge someone for what they do, that is purely up to GOD, alone.
    Abortion or no abortion, it doesnt make a person any less of a good person.

    i'm not exactly for abortion, but i've got my religious reasons for that
    i just hope for the best for her and the child unborn
    but since i'm not going to shove my religion down her throat
    if she's going to do it
    i hope she gets it done somewhere safe, and then gets emotional support because i hear many women go through a lot of depression afterwards

    I'm not able to form an opinion nor judge someone unless I understand the situation and why they would want an abortion. I'm certainly not against abortion, but I don't think that abortion should be a form of birth control. I've heard of some woman having 4-5 abortions before they have turned 30.

    If they were a 12 year old rape victim, I could understand their decision. The trauma of rape, followed by the maturity pregnancy and birth require, could overwhelm a young girl, and abortion could be considered the better option.

    However, if they are a 20 year old college student who consensually decided to have premarital sex with their boyfriend and just trust contraceptives to do the job, and then got pregnant and decided to abort, I think it is a selfish decision and one I cannot support.

    My first instinct would be to feel worse about them but I also realise there are very hard circumstances sometimes. I would be really disgusted with a woman who just did it as a means of birth control and simply because she didn't feel like being pregnant. I'd feel very sorry though for somebody who felt they had no other choice but to have an abortion. I would try and talk them out of it if they were somebody I knew.

    I think it's better to bring a child into the world when you can financially and emotionally support the child. Why bring a child into the world to suffer. I personally would not have one if i were 2-3 months pregnant, but before then i might. But who am i to judge someone for their decisions?

    Woman choose abortion when she's not ready to raise children.

    If she choose to give birth to a child, she choose a lifestyle that is totally upside-down. She would no longer able to live a life she wanted to live for at least 20 years, if not all the rest of her life.

    From the woman's point of view, abortion is the right thing to do if she does not want a child.

    Unfortunately, those believe in many lives find that "babies have souls". A baby chooses to be your child because he/she is either your creditor or debtor. You should enjoy/suffer the consequence as the result of having him/her in this life until you both are even.

    If a woman takes away a baby's "right of living", from the baby's point of view, she killed him/her. The baby will never rest to turn the mother's life with thousands of obstacles, until they both are even. Mothers often find that her relationship/marriage end up with horror, because the baby is taking revenge. The same thing happens to the father.

    A solution is to chant Buddism scripture for millions of times (you must consult a master), to help the baby's soul to leave the nether world and find a mother again. Remose is the first step. She should never take an abortion again.

    In my opinion, one should always ensure contraception. Both woman and man should take it seriously.

    that they need to keep their legs closed if they are so irresponsible that they just plan on killing a baby that they created and it is murder UNLESS and ONLY if their life is in danger..rape is NOT a justification for abortion..morning after pill!! I think they are selfish and have no regard for human life.
