Too many women use abortion as a form of birth control cause they are too fucking irresponsible to go buy a rubber. Abortion should only be used if the pregnancy endangers the mother's life. Otherwise, be responsible and live with the consequences of rearing childeren.
If men took responsibility I doubt there would be so many abortions. But a womn living in poverty who is impregnated and the guy bails must feel like she has no other option. with that being said I think it should only be allowed in the first trimester unless themothers health is at risk. There is a fine line of when one becomes a living being and during the first 6 weeks it is just a clump of cells-I don't qualify that as a human being. People misscarry all the time up to 6 weeks and don't even know it. Although I think it is everyones right to chose I can say that unless I was raped or had a medical condition or was going to miscarry anyway I wouldn't have one.
well i have not been in the situation where i had to think about having an abortion. As of right now I do not agree with it, however if I were in a position where having the baby would cause too much complication during the pregnancy, or if I was raped and gained an STD or aids b/c of it, I might consider it. If, however, I ended up pregnant b/c of me having sex, I wouldn't abort even if I wasn't financially ready for it. ( I could always get a loan if i had to, to help with the baby's needs at first) Another option is adoption, tho from knowing some kids that have been thru the foster community, I"m not sure that it is the best choice but if I were absolutely SURE that I couldn't support this baby, I would give it up if I HAD to. I Couldn't stand to see my kid starve, or go w/o clothes or shoes or a roof over thier head. So for me adoption would be the very last choice. But even then, I wouldn't feel right about it
It was a statement, not a question so no response is needed. Please read people's posts more carefully next time.
i agree that abortion should only be used, if it endangers the mothers, or the childs life. otherwise, live with the consequences of having sex. if you don't wanna spend $3 on a pack of rubbers, then don't have sex. personally, the idea of abortion makes me sick. i just don't understand it. and what someone else said, about letting people make their own choices, no one said they couldn't. you DO have the choice. you have the choice to not have sex, or to have it safely. if you follow proper safe sex methods, there should be little or no way for you to get pregnant. and if you don't care, and continue to have sex anyway, then live with the consequences! you shouldn't be allowed to just run from your problems, because you have freedom of choice. that wasn't what that right was founded on. if everyone did that, half of us wouldn't be here!!!! not alot of pregnancies are planned, but some people just step up and take responsibility. all i know is, if i got my grilfriend pregnant, there would be NO way in hell we would give it up. we would raise that child with all the love in the world, together. we would give it the best life possible, because we love each other, and we're ready for that kind of thing.
first of all, men have no business trying to act like they have a say in this issue so ya'll non-getting-pregnant-never-had-a-period asses need to sit down I don't like abortion but I feel like it should be an option I was told to abort all of my children and my life would be alot easier if I had........but then it would suck:H I can't fault anyone for not making the same choices I made
I think it depends, each situation is unique- the baby needs to be put first. If you know that this baby, this child, is gonna have an awful life growing up, you can barely get by for yourself and it's just bad, then I could see a reason for aborting it. But if you don't want to deal with it, or you're afraid of what people will think, etc.. then it's not a good choice
so if a man gets a woman pregnant, he has no say in it? that's ridiculous. sure, the woman is the one who has to go through the 9 months of pregnancy, but any decent man will be right there alongside her for it. it's a big change in his life, too, and he should have half of the say in the decisions. in my opinion, anyway. plus, what if a man got a woman pregnant, she wanted to abort, but he wanted the child? wouldn't it only be fair for her to go through 9 months of pregnancy, so that he could go through a lifetime of raising a child alone? at least that child would HAVE a life, and get to experience love from at least ONE of their parents. if a man was the one running away from the problem, you'd call him a scumbag, a low-life, and a coward. but if it's the woman running away from it, it's "her decision"?? please. just because we never have periods, doesn't mean our opinions are any less valid on the matter, or that we know less about family issues. some women can be lousy irresponsible or even abusive parents, while some men can be the kindest, greatest, most loving fathers in the world. of course, it can be the other way around too, but that's not always the case. i'm just saying that if this issue comes up in a couples life, the man is just as involved as the woman. he helped start that child, he should help see it through. but the woman should have to do the same!
First of all, we have a lot of business actling like we have say in it, atleast if it's our seed. Now, I dunno about you guys, but if a girl ever went and got an abortion w/o consulting me, I'd fucking kill her. I can't argue against abortion, it's the only reason I'm here; I can't argue against it being somebody's personal choice either, but if it's a 2 person baby, I say it's a 2 person decision.
ok, so I am thinking it is deffinately a one person decision in a one night stand situation. But in a monogomous couple, I really hope they would discuss it together. Woman always has veto power, but has to to understand that her decision while being final may have reprecussions she does not intend. No matter which way she decides, some men are jerks, some are family oriented and and some are loving and supportive no matter what.
