What is Your Take on Abortion? Pro-choice, pro-life, or somewhere in the Middle?

What gives you the right to kill another person?
Me?
I got none.
But then, I am a male and can not get pregnant.

that aside, it is the woman's body.
Like it or not, she has the right to say what will and will not happen with it.

A woman under the duress of being raped, then adding to it finding out she is carrying the rapist's child, may not be held accountable for certain actions...

But if abortion is murdering an innocent person, how is that different? Is the child guilty of the father's crime? Would you excuse the rape victim if she went over to the rapist's house and murdered his family?

I'd rather women made the decision whether to have abortions, than governments made that decision for them.

While morals do tend to be subjective, I think some morals we come up with probably are right at any rate, simply because I believe people have God-nature inside of us, the Christ-nature, and sometimes that comes out of us, and we express it. Morals are an attempt to dictate how best to live your life.

Yet who the hell are you to tell a woman how she has to live her life?

I do however think perhaps women should educated more about abortion in school, public school I mean. Christian schools obviously wouldn't allow it.

Is this about the "life" you can't take, or about how much sympathy you have for the woman? An "innocent" woman may "murder her child," but a "guilty" woman may not?

But who knows..maybe she was wearing tight jeans or something and asking to get raped and therefore getting pregnant?So they are all guilty.

:eek:
WHAT!?!
that will never fly.
Especially in the Bible Belt.
I can hear it now how learning about abortion is supposedly teaching kids that it is just fine and dandy to go have sex....

Extreme emotional disturbance is an affirmative defence that can lead to manslaughter instead of murder charges...

I think all human life should get a chance to live their life. What gives you the right to kill another person?

I was stumped on this one for about 3 minutes..Until I realized the answer..WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO CREATE ANOTHER PERSON!!!!!!!!!

I NEVER asked to be BORN!!! What gave my mother and father a right to "create me" and bring me here?

Just because they WANTED to????

So, if a rape victim murders the family of her rapist, or if she has an abortion, she should be charged with manslaughter?

Thanks hun..But its the BLARING truth..

If people don't have the "right" to have an abortion as in "killing a person" because the zygote embryo fretus once created has a "right to live"..

Then what gives them the RIGHT to bring an innocent person into the world that NEVER asked to be created let alone born in the first place???

I tend to think a woman does have a right to an abortion, but it doesn't mean I have to agree with it. The reason I tend to leave the abortion issue alone and let it be pro-choice is because I realize how complex of an issue abortion is, it's not black and white at all.

Its good that you "agree that women have the right to an abortion"(and the men that agree with her that its their unborn child as well)..

And its good that you "dont agree with it" actually the fact you don't agree with it thank God doesnt affect her (and his) right to have abortion as an alternative.

All you have to do is A) never get pregnant..B) never get a girl pregnant

And it wont be anything you have to consider to agree to do or not to do.

Then I can say ..I believe you have the RIGHT to decide not to ever have to decide one way or the other ..

Isn't it nice that I get to say I believe you have that right?

Arent you appreciative of me?

Love
