I believe women should have a say, but there should be laws that are more strict as to when an abortion may be done, like within the first month.

Some people doesnt find out the same week they get pregnant.  

I think changing the time is stupid, cause it takes time to find out that youre pregnant, you might not notice. You maybe need time to decide.


So, you're saying it's okay for a woman to abort a baby when she has been pregnant for seven months? There are three clinics that do abortions at 7 months. It's sick because it's actually a baby!

7 months =/= 4 weeks.

I agree it should be regulated. I think if people are going to get an abortion they should only be allowed to do it before the end of embryogenesis (approx 10 weeks). That should give a person more than enough time to figure out if they would like to terminate the pregnancy or not.

The problem is people rarely know immediately that they are pregnant - especially if they were using birth control. And as stated by others, until 25 weeks it is incapable of feeling anything, pain or otherwise.

Later date then?
I'd be fine with it still.

I'm pro-choice. I'd rather people not have abortitions, but if it's outlawed people will try to do it themeselves or have it done illegaly. I also wouldn't like to have a child born into an abuse environment in which I/we couldn't escape.  If the mother is a young girl the prenancy could kill her, so abortion wouldn't bother me. For me there has to be a good reason.It's a womans body, but please people, birth control.

Of course all unplanned pregnency's will end with child being brought up in a bad environment. How could I be so foolish? I suppose we'll ignore the fact that there are plenty of families willing to adopt kids. But I suppose they are all pedofiles and child abusers, right?

Hell, why are we even bothering to pay large amounts of money for this operation? Couldn't we just as easily drop the baby in the trash? I mean it's the same basic outcome right?

I will agree that a baby produced by a rape isn't exactly a preventable, but that doesn't mean there aren't good options out there.

However, I'm not going to give a whole lot of sympathy to Dick and Jane who decided to take advantage of the fact that Jane's parents are away for the weekend. "Oh it was such a great 16th birthday party last week, and I'm ready for the rest of your present. Oh, you forgot your condom? It's okay, what are the chances anyway?" Well dumbasses, you just made your bed (or unmade it, if you like) and now you either have to accept your responsibility, or find a loving family who will.

I just see it as murder. I also think since it takes two people to make a child, it should take two people to get an abortion.

i think if you don't want it don't have it because it will be in a very bad life if it's born and you don't want it then if you just kill it and not let it get born.

Im pro choice because if i get pregnant young and am not ready, then i will get rid of it. my theory is that is it doesnt have a heart its not alive

  Actually, fetuses develop the heart relatively early in the pregnancy. By the fifth week (just after you'll notice a missed period), the heart is beating.


 

 thats totally wrong. the heart isnt beating until after three months. ive asked many doctors this.


Sara honey, you are wrong. Plain and simple. And I have proof, as I've seen a fetal heart beat coming out of my own body as low as 6 weeks. My friend Jenn is 13 weeks pregnant, her first ultrasound was at 5weeks4 days and they had a heartbeat during that time.

Do some research and you'll find that the information you've been provided is incorrect, and unfortunately you can't argue with the fact many of us who've been pregnant have seen the heart beat after 5 weeks.


Well I'nm still pro choice because it is my body and I shouldn't  have to have something that I don't want

I'm pro life. I belive that unless dire consequnces you shoudln't have an abortion.It is even stated in the bible. But I also think it is wrong. If you think of the baby later, you will be thankful you didn't give it up ;)

I also think since it takes two people to make a child, it should take two people to get an abortion.

I wish that it could work like that, I really do.

However, there are people out there who would say "no, I'm not letting you have an abortion" when they have no interest in the child, they just want to fuck up the woman's life.

There are people out there who make decisions based on emotions, instead of logic or reason (not that this is always bad, but especially when something involves another life you really want to do your best to make the right choice...whatever that choice may be at the time).

The whole "it should take two to get an abortion" thing sounds good...but what happens if the guy isn't around? What happens if the girl wouldn't want the guy to be around the child anyway? Just as I think it's unfair for a child to be forced on a guy by a woman, I think it's equally unfair to force a child on a woman by a man. A child shouldn't be forced, which is why I'll never agree with someone else making decisions on a pregnancy for someone else.
