Well I'm not sure, I think people should think about it before they have sex, or use a condom until they are ready for a baby. I think that people can choose for an abortion if they were raped or something. I've not got much to say about it, so over to someone else

As a father of 3, i feel i can throw my opinion in. Even though i personally would never consider the idea of abortion, i do think that ultimately it's up to the individual/couples involved to make up her/their own mind. I don't at all agree with abortions, but it's simply just something we have to accept. I don't like it when those preachy people gather around clinics and 'demonstrate'. Most of those guys are just plain weird, and a little bit frightning. (Be like us, be like us.) At the end of the day though, if couples practise 'safe-sex' there wouldn't even be anything to debate about.

Very good point! Just one thing is that some people to practice safe sex however there is still the chance of something happening! Would you say i would be better to have no sex before you could look after a child as this would stop there being a problem but would stop people having sex at a younger age aslo! wat do you think?

i personally dont agree with abortion either. They are already going to hve the baby, so if they chose to not want the child, they could just put it up for adoption. But You should never take the life of a baby away. In my opinion, It is the same as murder.

You have a very good point there and very strong idea about the murder and i agree!
Do you not feel however that it is wrong to bring a child into a world where their life could be so bad they would never have parents or never be wanted by a family?

I'm not really sure how I would react if I was in a situation where my partner was facing whether to have an abortion or not. Consequently I am relative on the matter; I don't think it would be right to tell someone whether to abort their child or not I don't that there is a universal right and wrong, I think that the decsion should be made by the parents based on whether they think the baby will have a good quality of life or not.

I see what you are saying there Jm3z and it is very true. However do you not feel that it may be wrong to end any life. As Guillermo said it is basiclly the same as murder is it not? I think the arguement has to be at what point does life begin. As if the baby is already alive then surely it is murder?

I'm not sure, there are many debates about at what time the baby is viable as being a human life; at fertilisation; at birth, etc. However, as there is no way for us to tell I don't think that we can base our decisions on that and it must be based on the chance of the child having a good life, on the other hand I do believe that it should only ever be as a last resort.

I am 20, and I know that an unplanned pregnancy right now could really hurt my future, and it's something I really don't want. I know I'm not ready, and I know that my boyfriend and I are not financially ready to care for one. If I did get pregnant before we were ready, I really might consider an abortion. I know it's not a nice thing to do...but I would try to do it ASAP, before the child started to look like a child. I would also have to live with the consequences of such action. I would still be responsible for destroying the possibility of life, and I would have to accept that and be able to live with it.
And yes, I do agree that rape victims should not feel guilty about abortion. They don't have a choice, and they shouldn't have to live with something that's not their fault.
