For it or against it: Abortion

[the_clockwork]

It's the battle of good vs evil

there are lots of cons to it but there are still pros to it

speaking about partial birth abortions (before they were illegal).. how can a woman carry a child that long and decide she didn't want it anymore? The kid had a beating heart yet many of women went through partial births

Third option for the "shouldn't be parents" group - adoption.

Some are lazy and just wait too long to have it done. Some I guess they think about it a lot and they finally realize they can't do it. I am sure in some cases too they think they can win over the guy or he will man up and be there for them the way she wants and if he doesn't she then decides that she can't do it. Who knows some chicks are crazy.

I'm against it excepting cases of rape, incest or life of the mother being in danger. I am completely against second term abortion because I know of two second term babies who have lived. I am not a religious person - closer to a believer leaning agnostic than anything.

I'm also not going to state my reasons because it's too hot button to be civil about over the internet.

I forgot about that one.

I'm against abortion but believe a woman should have a right to choose during the first 14 weeks. After that point, it becomes moot and the woman is carrying a separate entity that should be allowed to have a say in its own existence.

What if it doesn't speak up?

You'll just have to wait until it can form words to ask it.

Babelfish or we'll have to wait for the star trek universal translator.

While I don't think I have the right to tell someone they should or shouldn't have one, I am thankful every day that the woman who gave birth to my 2 beautiful daughters decided not to have an abortion.
