    Not in my opinion. Some people will tell you otherwise. Ultimately, I think you need to search your own heart and mind and determine for yourself.
    Besides, if you feel you messed up God forgives right?

    A women has the right to choose. Science can document that Three cells are not a life. It becomes wrong once the fetus has a Brain and can feel pain. Three cells have no Heart, no Brain and no sense of awareness. They are not sentient. All arguments that dispute this are illogical nonsense.

    I think it's right and it's common sense. While the argument that it's murder is valid in many respects, I believe the world is overpopulated anyway. If some crackhead woman wants to abort her crackbaby, I am not going to stop her. I think if the woman knows she is going to neglect and abuse her kid the whole time it is growing up she should be aloud to abort it if she wants. And what if a women gets raped and gets pregnant? Who are you to say she can't abort that evil spawn if she wants too. She should be aloud to kill the rapist too. lol... I look forward to your negative ratings. My opinion will not change.

    I think it is wrong because it fundamentally goes against human morals. Some reasons why:
    1. All life is sacred. Whether you are religious or not, you cannot dispute this. By taking someone else's life into our own hands we violate this. Which leads me to my next point.
    2. The fetus has the same human rights as you or I. He or she has just as much of a right to live as anyone else on this earth, because they are just as much human. This is something many people overlook.
    3. To the people saying, "It is better for them to be dead than to live a crappy life." So you don't think that baby would not have enjoyed life at all? I know a lot of poor people, and I know a lot of rich people. Guess what? The poor people are equally happy as the rich people. I don't know exactly why, but I would imagine it is because we find joy in non-material things. The poor and the rich are equal when it comes to owning non-material things, and actually sometimes the poor have more. To say they would not be happy because they would be poor is shallow and materialistic. I am sure they would have enjoyed life just as much as you or I.
    4. Testimony of abortion survivor Gianna Jessen before the Constitution Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee on April 22, 1996:
    "My name is Gianna Jessen. I am 19 years of age. I am originally from California, but now reside in Franklin, Tennessee. I am adopted. I have cerebral palsy. My biological mother was 17 years old and seven and one-half months pregnant when she made the decision to have a saline abortion. I am the person she aborted. I lived instead of died.
    Fortunately for me the abortionist was not in the clinic when I arrived alive, instead of dead, at 6:00 a.m. on the morning of April 6, 1977. I was early, my death was not expected to be seen until about 9 a.m., when he would probably be arriving for his office hours. I am sure I would not be here today if the abortionist would have been in the clinic as his job is to take life, not sustain it. Some have said I am a "botched abortion", a result of a job not well done.
    There were many witnesses to my entry into this world. My biological mother and other young girls in the clinic, who also awaited the death of their babies, were the first to greet me. I am told this was a hysterical moment. Next was a staff nurse who apparently called emergency medical services and had me transferred to a hospital.
    I remained in the hospital for almost three months. There was not much hope for me in the beginning. I weighed only two pounds. Today, babies smaller than I was have survived.
    A doctor once said I had a great will to live and that I fought for my life. I eventually was able to leave the hospital and be placed in foster care. I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a result of the abortion.
    My foster mother was told that it was doubtful that I would ever crawl or walk. I could not sit up independently. Through the prayers and dedication of my foster mother, and later many other people, I eventually learned to sit up, crawl, then stand. I walked with leg braces and a walker shortly before I turned age four. I was legally adopted by my foster mother's daughter, Diana De Paul, a few months after I began to walk. The Department of Social Services would not release me any earlier for adoption.
    I have continued in physical therapy for my disability, and after a total of four surgeries, I can now walk without assistance. It is not always easy. Sometimes I fall, but I have learned how to fall gracefully after falling 19 years.
    I am happy to be alive. I almost died. Every day I thank God for life. I do not consider myself a by-product of conception, a clump of tissue, or any other of the titles given to a child in the womb. I do not consider any person conceived to be any of those things.
    I have met other survivors of abortion. They are all thankful for life. Only a few months ago I met another saline abortion survivor. Her name is Sarah. She is two years old. Sarah also has cerebral palsy, but her diagnosis is not good. She is blind and has severe seizures. The abortionist, besides injecting the mother with saline, also injects the baby victims. Sarah was injected in the head. I saw the place on her head where this was done. When I speak, I speak not only for myself, but for the other survivors, like Sarah, and also for those who cannot yet speak ...
    Today, a baby is a baby when convenient. It is tissue or otherwise when the time is not right. A baby is a baby when miscarriage takes place at two, three, four months. A baby is called a tissue or clumps of cells when an abortion takes place at two, three, four months. Why is that? I see no difference. What are you seeing? Many close there eyes...
    The best thing I can show you to defend life is my life. It has been a great gift. Killing is not the answer to any question or situation. Show me how it is the answer.
    There is a quote which is etched into the high ceilings of one of our state's capitol buildings. The quote says, "Whatever is morally wrong, is not politically correct." Abortion is morally wrong. Our country is shedding the blood of the innocent. America is killing its future.
    All life is valuable. All life is a gift from our Creator. We must receive and cherish the gifts we are given. We must honor the right to life."
    5. It is not a painless way to end the fetus's life. To put a fetus through the kinds of torture it can go through during an abortion is sick and inhumane.
    From a letter to President Reagan from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology:
    "Real time ultrasonography, fetoscopy, study of the fetal EKG (electrocardiogram) and fetal EEG (electroencephalogram) have demonstrated the remarkable responsiveness of the human fetus to pain, touch, and sound. That the fetus responds to changes in light intensity within the womb, to heat, to cold, and to taste (by altering the chemical nature of the fluid swallowed by the fetus) has been exquisitely documented in the pioneering work of the late Sir William Lily — the father of fetology."
    Taken from this website http://www.abortionfacts.com/.../..._them_both_14.asp
    "A Realtime ultrasound video tape and movie of a 12- week suction abortion is commercially available as, The Silent Scream, narrated by Dr. B. Nathanson, a former abortionist. It dramatically, but factually, shows the pre-born baby dodging the suction instrument time after time, while its heartbeat doubles in rate. When finally caught, its body being dismembered, the baby’s mouth clearly opens wide — hence, the title (available from Heritage House '76 at http:www.heritagehouse76.com). Proabortionists have attempted to discredit this film. A well documented paper refuting their charges is available from National Right to Life, 419 7th St. NW, Washington, DC 20004, $2.00 p.p. A short, 10-minute video showing the testimony of the doctor who did the abortion in Silent Scream definitely debunks any criticism of Silent Scream’s accuracy. The Answer, Bernadel, Inc., P.O. Box 1897, Old Chelsea Station, New York, NY, 10011."
    Now tell me you didn't feel sorry for that fetus while you read that. Tell me it would have been better off if Gianna was dead. That is why abortion is so wrong. We fail to think about the fetus, about ITS rights, ITS feelings, not ours. To those who are 'Pro-choice:' What if the fetus had a choice? What do you think it would choose?

    Thank you for your time (assuming you read this whole thing). If you agree or disagree with me about anything, then please comment respectfully, and I will comment respectfully back.

    It's legal. There are reasons it needs to be legal. End of story.

    What bothers me are the people who cry "Murder", when they are the same people who speak out against sex education in school ("Don't talk to MY children about sex!"), making contraception available in school nurses' offices ("Now they're CONDONING immoral activity!"), and socialised healthcare ("I'M not paying for someone ELSE to get birth control pills!"). These SAME people then demand their uneducated teenagers carry these unwanted children to term (guess who pays for THOSE deliveries, over 1/2 of which will be via c-section at $10,000+ a pop?), so the children can possibly be adopted - but ONLY by good, God-fearing, married, straight, financially secure couples. Then, when all those kids that MIGHT have been adopted by single people or gay couples become uneducated teenagers, we have a whole OTHER round of unwanted pregnancies for your health insurance premiums to ultimately fund!

    Abortion is one of the easiest ways to kill people. Fetuses have not been known to carry weapons, and are poorly trained in hand-to-hand combat. Some day it will be legal to kill any age person in order to protect your freedom of choice. But until then, you'll have to make do with killing the tiny ones.

    I don't like it. However you rationalize it, it's killing a baby in his or her early stages. Any mother of a beautiful child can say,"I had the power to kill him or her in the womb if I didn't want the kid before being born. It's barbaric and facile, and the pro-choice arguments in my opinion are illogical and stupid.

    It's murder. Murder going by other words is still murder. Some have to make financial choices. Many choose money over life it has been aparent in the history of so called civilization. Some pregnancies are from rapes in this situation it is still murder. It is a good argument for an abortion. I can understand in this situation the difficult decision to make. In the end it is still murder. On the other hand the whole USA was claimed by murdering the native american. Civilizations are built on murder.

    It ends the life of a separate, genetically human (ie, "human"), and genetically distinct being, so it should only be allowed if to continue the pregnancy would endanger the life of the mother.

    Inhumane unless it's to save the life of the mother, which accounts for about 1% of abortions. 98% of the time, it's a convenient way to get rid of a kid you don't want.

    Go ahead and DR me I don't care.

    But keep in mind that if you have had an abortion that I'm not saying you're bad or condemned. You just have to acknowledge that it was wrong, and ask for forgiveness. Don't try to fool yourself into thinking it was acceptable.

    I think abortion is disgusting in most cases.
    You get pregnant, it's unplanned, and how are you going to deal with it? By not dealing with it at all?

    How is it that kid's fault that you made a mistake? Right. You don't want a child for whatever reason, you feel incapable, you aren't financially secure.
    But that baby is an individual person, and aborting it is destroying a creation that can never and will never be in existance again.
    What gives anyone the right to perform such an act?

    If you screwed up and you don't want a baby, PERFORM AN ACT OF GOOD WILL and give your baby away to a family who cannot have a baby due to infertility.

    However, in the case of rape obviously, abortion is much more acceptable.

    I feel that it is wrong because you are killing something that is innocent and has done nothing, and why? because you just dont want it and it seems easier to kill it? thats selfish. and as for "what if i was raped, i shouldnt have to keep it" so your saying its not my fault so lets kill it? (ex.)-if someone sets a baby on your front door step, you say its not your fault, so just kill it?? if you were raped that doesnt mean you should kill someone that didnt do anything, just take it to the orphanage please.
    Everyone here was once in the womb. and i am very glad my parents didnt decided they didnt want me and kill me.

    and please dont give me negative points just because you dont agree with my answer please.
