What is your stance on abortion? (Abortion discussion)

[Doomonkey]

this sarcasm? cus I mean that's like half right. you can HAVE opinions on such things, they just don't matter

Sure they don't matter, but it isn't like people on this forum have any political authority. The post I responded to said "so obviously you have complete authority over making someone go through immense pain, and possibly dying" in a sarcastic way. No one has any authority here.  There is no point getting upset about the opinions of people who don't matter. No one ever said they had authority in this matter.

people can have opinions
it becomes a problem when they start trying to make things illegal
you shouldn't punish a woman for removing a parasite from her body

I doubt very many people here participate in the making of laws.

There may not be a point, but you have to admit its fun getting this upset. :)

For instance:

Only if they get raped should they be allowed to get one

So, if the mother's life is in danger because of the fetus, nothing should be done, because the fetus has rights. That's what you're saying.

You're forfeiting a real human life for the fragments of a potential life.

I am surprised people haven't even attended love education yet:
Fetuses aren't aware that they are even alive. All they are is a large collection of cells feeding off of you.

Aborting a fetus is always in the best interest of the baby AND the mother. Don't go around herping and derping saying that its all the mother's fault and the baby should be shoved into adopted where they might just not be chosen and live life as a loving idiot.

Abortion is necessary to keep life; life of the mother and the proper life of the baby. Sure, if you are fine and dandy and everything's alright and you KNOW that a family is going to accept what is going to be a little bundle of joy, then you don't have to bring out the coat hanger, but if the mother/baby are going the die and the mother doesn't want to risk death, abortion is 100% alright.

I don't think it is really a matter of awareness. I'm 100% sure that a fetus develops a nervous system before travelling out the birth cbrown town and can thus feel pain. Many abortions are done because the mother simply doesn't want a baby; they are not all as innocent as you make them out to be.

It really isn't much different than a mother carrying full term, decides she doesn't like her newborn, and drowns it in a bathtub. The only difference is that an abortion is likely more painful to the fetus.

It would be a discussion if people would discuss rather than just posting:

Only if they get raped should they be allowed to get one

I'm against it

Pro-Choice, even though I'm catholic.

Yeah pro-choice

pro-choice

its a child not a choice

There's no real opinions here, its just stuff ideology priding.

Jesus, ok. Go look up what an abortion is and report back.

"A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host."
gee, doesn't that sound familiar?

the... fetus. that can't speak. or think. or express pain in any way. or emotions. your logic here is astounding

[Planr]

It's murder and I completely oppose it. Plain and simple.

[Blockzillahead]

Only if they get raped should they be allowed to get one

I think it should be a decision no matter what. we already are over populated we don't need more people in this world just so they can suffer in poverty or god knows what else. a fetus doesn't have a personhood. its a fetus. just because its the same species as us doesn't render it a right to live. neither does the fact that it can be a person in later life, it doesn't make it a person there and then

you probably think the conversation about abortion goes something like this too

[Planr]

Yes?

A loving mother is willing to sacrifice her life for the sake of her child. Anything less is selfishness.

Another thing: A baby isn't any less of a human life than the mother is.

The child could die too...

Alright, if you're going to have an opinion, at least make sure its not based on ignorance.

... hey, guys, let's take a moment to think.
if you knocked some girl up on accident, would you let her have an abortion, or would you pay for the childcare and clothing and extra food?
or would you abandon her so she can have all the responsibility to herself so that your disgusting crotchfruit will live without a father figure? because all of these are very good ideas

A loving mother is willing to sacrifice her life for the sake of her child. Anything less is selfishness.

a loving mother is willing to end the life of a child who will end up deformed and handicapped
if a "loving" mother decides that her child should live a life of ridicule and mockery, sure. yeah. that's definitely selfless. of course it is.
i wonder if you've ever been mocked for something that you can't control. race. birth defect. anything.
