Below I have included a few definitions for those that are confused and links to different sites that take on the issue of abortion, read up if need be. These sites lay out the main ideas behind the opposing sides of pro-life and pro-choice.
Abortion - Termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus. Pro-life - Advocating full legal protection of human embryos or fetuses, especially by opposing legalized abortion Pro-choice - Favoring or supporting the legal right of women and girls to choose whether or not to continue a pregnancy to term.
Pro-life argument Pro-Choice Argument (please note that it was much harder to find a pro-choice argument essay, if you know of a good website that outlines the arguments for or against abortion please PM and I shall add it to this list)
if you are too lazy to read those full essays,then you can read the following summaries:Taken From Here
Pro-Life - The strongest argument that the pro-lifers have, I believe, is that by aborting a fetus, you're destroying a sentient/conscious/self-aware human being. Is the fetus self-aware? One could argue that's not the case, but then you can proceed and ask is a month-old baby self-aware? One might also argue that a fetus is self-aware, in which case, killing it would certainly be tantamount to killing another human child, or even an adult for that matter, which again we do not have the choice to do so.
Pro-Choice - The strongest argument the pro-choice people have, of course, is the issue of the right of a female to do whatever she wishes with her body. The fetus can be considered a parasite (and it is, in a sense) which can no longer be allowed to grow.But how would you account for the motions of the fetus? Is that purely reflexive? If so, as soon as a child is born, I'd argue a lot of what it does is purely reflexive.
Let's end the abortion topics once and for all. and please, stay on topic.
Please share your opinions and view-points of abortion.

But I fail to see how a mother would find giving up a human being harder than removing it from existence all together.
You don't have to see how someone can think it is harder, all you have to do is understand that for some people it may be.

I wouldn't want my children somewhere else in the world, going through god knows what.

Support abortion? Whatever.
i dont agree with abortion
But don't try to stop other people from making their own choices.
What the fuck ever happened to discretion? It's not any body else's business, fuck off.
Abortion is wrong if your willing to spread your legs than you need to do something better and give the baby up for adoption.
Pro-choice, only because of cases such as rape, incest, and mental or extreme physical handicaps.
this.
