Your Thoughts on Abortion

What are your thoughts on abortion and it's legality?

Here in the U.S., you can pay for and have an abortion done completely legally, as stated in Roe vs. Wade.

However, many believe it should be outlawed completely while others agree with it being legal. What about you?

Promiscuous or not, if you're having sex you should be mature enough to recognize the risks of an unplanned baby. I guess to me it's not such a big deal since I'd definitely raise a child with the girl I'm dating right now, but it doesn't change a thing.

I'm on my mobile so I'm not sure what exact comment you're replying to, but in this series of comments I made an example out of knowing the risks of driving. When you drive, you must understand that you are in control of a weapon. Run into someone and you'll kill them or hurt them drastically. It's most likely not your goal to run over people, or crash, but there's always the risk, and the only way to steer clear of it completely is to not drive.

So be aware of the risks; take responsibility. I'm not saying don't drive, or don't have sex. Sex is a beautiful thing, but it can come with a price (or, as I see it, an extra reward)

But that's why we have auto insurance. If we do happen to make a mistake while driving, and do something that only affects ourselves (say, driving into a ditch or something) and only do damage to ourselves and our own car, our insurance pays for that.

And that's you though. You're in a place in life and have a mindset that could accommodate having and raising a child. I do recognize the risks associated with sex, and do take precautions to avoid pregnancy, but shit does happen. And not everybody is capable of dealing with such unintended consequences. It's simply unfair to expect someone to deal with something they are incapable of dealing with, especially when that situation could be avoided altogether.

Sex is a beautiful thing, and I do agree that a baby is a wonderful thing for individuals who are ready to have and raise one. Conversely, I think it would be completely irresponsible, for myself at least, to bring a child into this world when I'm not ready to meet all of its needs, regardless if I had taken precautions to prevent that or not.

Actually it's a 3% risk, that's not high at all. Combined with the .5% risk of birth control and the undocumented risk of pulling out, smart people are really facing about a .001% risk. Either way, you can disagree, that's cool. I'm assuming you're either a man or a woman who clearly does not understand, well, anything. You ever birth a child? Not fucking pleasant. You ever raise a child? Are you made of money? Planning on never going to school again because you have to raise your child? Planning on never going anywhere because you can't get a good job due to not having a college education? I could go on, but I don't see you grasping what it actually means to have an unplanned child, especially for a teenager or young man/woman.

So, if I don't understand anything, and you are all so smart, then why would you need abortion at all? If the rate is so, so low, why are you having unplanned babies?

Clever for a few more years, just annoying to mature people however.

I'm honestly uncomfortable with the idea of abortion. But again, who am I to say what a woman should do with her body? It's her choice.

Its legal here...and I think its free?

All you have to say is your mentally distressed and your doctor has to give you one I think?

Should be legal I reckon.

I do think a responsible and supportive adult needs to be aware if it's a kid having it, but making abortion illegal is asking for black market clinics to spring up. Do you want a healthy or a moral population?

My thoughts on it are pretty simple. Life begins at conception, i don't give a fuck for the legality issues of it, abortion is killing human life.

~RestInMotion Jul 26, 2012

Life begins at conception? Wait, so things without heartbeats are alive? AUNT SILVIA! Fuck! I gotta go find a shovel.
