I saw a similar topic made in DF forums by homedawg so I thought I should make one here as well to see people's thoughts, most of you know the discussion about abortion (it being legal or illegal) is one of the most heated discussion nowadays.

Personally I don't think it should be allowed unless it endangers the mother's life because I (personally) don't think she or the father should be allowed to take away their child's life for selfish reasons (In my own thoughts that is)

Whats your opinion? Keep it civil please (:

Oh and one more thing, can we keep the whole religion vs atheism debate away from this topic? It tends to get involved in these sort of stuff so yah just post your own thoughts and argue in a civiled manner without insulting someones religion or atheists as a whole.

Post awayyyyyyyy

Ooo, this should be an active topic... Could turn into one of those heated flamefests that will be fun to read once it hits 5 pages, oh wait... This isn't RSC...

In all seriousness, I'm kind of in the middle on Abortion. I can see why people don't want it to happen and would want the mother to not kill the fetus inside of her, but on the other hand, who are we to judge someone who feels that they aren't ready for that responsibility, and we shouldn't, as a society, have protests that degrade into violence. I don't think that we have a right to say that she shouldn't do it, but if I was friends with the person, then I would try to at least talk to her (if she's willing to talk) and see if I could get her away from going through with it and if she feels her relationship isn't ready for a child, then I'd ask her to put the child up for adoption. If I couldn't convince her to do that, then I'd be the good friend and try to help her through what was coming up.

Pro-choice.


I'm tired of these topics though. I could write a whole long reply here, but I just don't feel like it anymore. I've seen like 30 of these topics come and go on WG's forums. They always end in someone's feelings getting hurt. Usually by me. So I might delve into this topic in good time. Especially if someone starts spouting some bullshit. Just keep that in mind. wink.gif

Abortion should be illegal IMO. Thats my opinion, not gonna argue anymore......wg discussions always end up in baits and never lead anywhere, even if they are kinda fun, but I'm over it.

I don't understand how you can "kill" something that hasn't even been born yet. Maybe it has a heartbeat but it doesn't have conciousness, and I wouldn't really have regrets if abortion is painless (I don't know on that)

But not all women are ready for childbirth and parenting, and not all contraception is 100% guaranteed. I think it should be legalised, and my thoughts are the same for euthanasia.

Challenge any creationist to a debate.
They'll run away and aggressively accuse you of "attacking" them and their "beliefs".
I'm sorry, please, keep teaching our kids that they'll burn in hell if they don't believe. Mutilate their genitals against their will while you're at it. Keep influencing politics and holding back vital scientific research.
I'll just keep my mouth shut to "respect" your "beliefs".

I'm sorry but i feel if they can't being the child up well there's no point the child being in the world. Also Rape victims and Inbred victims should be able to get rid of it.
People doing it because they wont be able to "cope" should just wear a condom of not have sex, tis final. And if they use the excuse "My man doesn't like it" then tell your man to fuck off or wear one.

This.

I'm pretty hardcore pro-choice. We should be able to abort babies up to the age of 3.

Okay, maybe inappropriate, but to be honest, I even understand the arguments for having abortions in the last trimester (anyone who follows news in the US might remember all that controversy and the murder of Dr. Tiller this summer).

I think that its the woman's choice. Nobody elses. No man should ever force a woman to get rid of it. No country should deny the option completely.

No need to flame.

I think both sides of the Abortion debate have good points, but I usually tend to lean more towards the pro life side ever so slightly.

edit: said choice where I meant to say life ^___^

Women's choice
Don't compound a mistake
I find a more interesting question would be if you have to save the child or your wife/yourself (f you're female) who would you save?

1. Ask yourself this question: Why is this a legal issue at all?

As a woman I think that it has no place in the legal system. This is a medical issue. I am not one to want or believe this is a form of birth control. But what gives the government any say in a medical issue. (Or better yet, what gives them any say in a moral/religious issue.) Government should stay out of the privacy of the family.

2. Insurance companies should have more input on prevention.

Why doesn't insurance companies offer a discount to family/females that go through some kind of classes? We do this for auto insurance. Maybe preventive/education is a better way around less misuse of this procedure.

3. Pay off the mothers to have the child.

If the government wants to stop abortions, maybe they should offer 10k to the mother to put the baby up for adoption. We have many families in the USA that are getting babies from other countries. If the mother could get 10k as a one time offer to give up the child and it could help her get on her feet. It would still be less to pay then having them on welfare. It should not be like selling children to the adoptive parents. This plan would need some really good thinking.

Since I am female, I have to say that I would not carelessly take the life of any child I would be carrying. Not even from rape. But if given choice to live myself or die with the child also dying, I am not going to kill us both. No man will ever have a say over my body about this . . . not a husband, not a boyfriend, not any man, not the government, not even my father.

The choice of the mother, as she has to deal with the choice for the rest of her life. No one else should decide.

Pro choice.

If my Gf got pregnant i'd obviously tell her my feelings, but in the end i would want her to be happy with the choice, it's her whos going to have to carry it, take time out of work/studies etc.

Anyone who votes pro Life is harsh, if u were raped, and became pregnant you may change your view but until then i guess not.

Rape
Incest
Good life (If u can't afford to look after yourself why bring a child into the world? some people hardly afford to eat, it wouldn't be fair on the child.)


^^All good reasons, im a afraid.

Let me try and explain my train of thought.

Imagine you're at a horse race; Horse A is winning by a huge margin. He's a lap ahead of any other horse on the track and he's within 15 yards of the finish. Then you shoot him through the head with a 50-cal. sniper rifle. The horse is instantly decapitated and lands in a twisted heap of bloody horse flesh six inches from the finish line. Are you responsible for Horse A from not winning the race?

After all, he never crossed the finish line, so he hadn't won yet. You just decided that, eventually, if he wins he'll have to race again. And the more he races the higher the chance that he'll be injured and his quality of life will be ruined. Or maybe he'll be sold, and there's a chance that his quality of life won't be as good with his new owner as with his old one.

Within a reasonable course of events, it's entirely reasonable to assume that a child will be born healthy with no complications for himself (or herself) or the mother. If an abortion is performed you are entirely responsible for that child not being able to live. In effect, you are committing pre-murder. Rather than taking someone's life, you're not letting them have a chance at all.
