Views on Abortion?

Pro-life.

 

Pro-Choice - I believe that the woman should have the option of having an abortion should she decide to.

 

What Jonathan said.

 

Pro-choice. I think that women should have that option if they need it.

 

I feel as strongly as Scott Roeder, except I'm pro-choice. And admittedly I'm less gutsy.

 

Just a reminder to everyone to remain civil, topics like this can get overheated.

I am pro-choice, and consider even the restrictions imposed on abortion in Roe v Wade (i.e. that abortion in the third trimester can be prohibited) to be unacceptable.

 

Wow, I didn't even know Roe allowed that! One learns something new, even if disquieting everyday.

 

Choice. In the words of George Carlin, pro-lifers aren't pro-life, they are anti-woman. The position is morally untenable and rooted in at best faulty logic, and at worst outright misogyny.

 

I honestly don't like abortions, but I'm very pro-choice. I feel like making the decision to have an abortion is very personal and that women should have the option to make that decision and not have it made for them. It's their body, nobody should tell them what they can and cannot do with it.

 

Pro choice. I used to be a bit "omg how can these women kill all the defenceless babies??" but then it happened to someone I care very deeply about and suddenly abortion wasn't a faceless issue for me any more so my old one-dimensional viewpoint became redundant.

 

I would phrase that pro-abortion or anti-abortion.

I honestly don't understand how there's even a debate, it just looks like common sense to me. What right does the state have to force someone to carry a child that they're not prepared to raise? Why would they want to? More expense to the welfare system.

 

Pro-choice in all circumstances, but that doesn't mean I'm pro-abortion in all circumstances.

 

Pro-choice.

 

Pro-Life even though I recognize that the right to abortion is a necessary evil in our society. It's a matter of what's worse to be avoided.

My reasoning:
- In this day and age, a woman who gets sperm in her vagina has either been raped or she should take responsibilities for her choice not to have used contraception. I don't mean punishment; I mean that actions have consequences.
- What is 9 months of carrying a child, giving birth, compared to a whole life of possibilities to be given to a child? Who says they are going to have a bad life? Logically to me anyway the sacrifice the woman has to do is far but equal to what is given to the child were he/she to live. The value of the given life far outweigh the sacrifice.
- It is my opinion that since they have human DNA and are functioning as a "complete" though dependent organism, that they are human. Birth per say only makes a difference to society not to the state of the being. After birth they are still a complete but dependent being with their own DNA, though if the mother decides to kill her newborn she is a murderer.

Mind you, I still deem the right to abortions to be necessary. I believe that there could be ways around this though; like forced infertility on everybody until they formulate the desire to reproduce to a health practitioner for example.

 

I'm in the middle. We're I pregnant, I wouldn't even consider abortion (unless rape was involved). But I believe every woman should be able to make that decision for herself.

The way I see it, I don't have a uterus, so who am I to tell someone what they can and can't do with theirs?

 

Pro-choice. In a society where sex-Ed in schools is dismal, rape is far too prevalent, poverty keeps parents from being able to give children the life they deserve, and where contraception isn't 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, it's a necessary evil.

 

it's not even evil.
