Personally, I'd rather see more children bought up in a SECURE (both financially AND emotionally) household than see what I've been seeing over the past few years - A bunch of pram pushing 15-16 year olds that are ill equipped to raise a child, and would most likely give them a totally fucked upbringing anyway.
I think that if you don't have at least one of the following
*A secure job + housing
*A stable relationship with co-parent
*An Education
*Super-rich parents
You just shouldn't have a kid.
Can't Feed 'Em - Don't Breed 'Em...
Anyone can fuck up and make a mistake at a young age, and in most of those kinda cases, I'd consider it the responsible choice.
As for who's decision it should be, if you're in a "real" relationship
both parties SHOULD be involved in the decision, and this shouldn't be a problem, as a "real" couple would most likely want to discuss the situation, each partner hearing the others thoughts, pros and cons.
I'm not saying I'm "all for" people fucking around unprotected and having abortions as a regular thing either, I think they are the most irresponsible people out there.
However, I don't feel a person should be descriminated against for making a decision on the basis of necessity, one that could prevent themselves and a child from living in poverty....

Abortion is a touchy subject. I know two people who have had an abortion, and although neither were in a position to raise a child it continues to haunt both of them.

... ... ... I simply can't comment on the choices of others. All I can say is BE RESPONSIBLE AND CAREFUL WHEN HAVING SEX. If you do that much, then I care not what you decide to do should something unwanted result. My opinions are my own, and I won't harrass other's choices in life...

For myself - I would not abort under any circumstance unless my own life was in serious danger.

i'm completely against it. One of my best friends, was the result of his mother being raped (very rare occurance...i believe i read somewhere that like less than 1% of rape victims actually become pregnant) anyway if his mom had decided to have an abortion one of my best friends wouldn't even have existed.

i do however as a libertarian (http://www.lp.org) believe that everyone should make the decision for themselves. I just wouldn't want my girlfriend or say my daughter to have an abortation.

Hey, how about when you come into a situation when actually bearing the baby can cost the mothers life? Like in ectopic pregancy or when the you have a perimenopausal mother or when the mother was in an accident and she was bleeding profusely that only one can be saved (her life or her baby's)....what then? When it comes to these cases i'll go for abortion.

one of my aunts had twins. well she became pregnant again a few years later, with tw ins. one morning she woke up and kept drueling, couldnt hold her head upo either.

turned out she had a pretty hefty brain tumor. they needed to operate, but that woulda killed the kids. she said hell no. and waited till they were born.

that was very dangerous. and 2 years later only now have i seen her. shes kinda odd..... so yeh in odd cases it can happen

im not aginst it nor am i for it! if you had sex and the condom broke or you were raped and dont want to have the child then i can see that abortion would be fit, but if you're haveing random unprotected sex, then to hell with you , youre having a kid!

abortion is a serious thing and the one thing everyone should think aboot is what if the baby, your kid was going to grow up and find the cure for cancer or aids. but you also have to take into turn that the world is already suffering in overpopulation, all over the world there are childer starving and dieing of illnesses because they are orphand, is it fair to bring a child into a world and then put him/her into a orphanage, making them suffer for your mistake? i think not!

so all in all i could go either way! and in most cases abortion isnt the way!

I'm for the choice, not necessarilly for everyone to go out fucking and not take any responsibility for it. I would have more sympathy for the pro-lifers if they actually had some brains and considered what they would be doing with the kids AFTER they are born. Do they sponsor orphanages? Give money to the parents of the kids? Do they do ANYTHING but thump their bibles (or whatever) and spout their opinion?

I have never seen one. As was stated earlier, life is beautiful and precious, until it is born. Eric Rudolf "cared" about those unborn babies so much he was willing to kill ones that had already established a life on this planet.

They want to dictate how people should live their lives, but do not want to take any responsibility for their declaration.

In the end, if a woman wants an abortion, let her have it and deal with the emotional aftermath (dont think they go right out and start fucking again, I've never known anyone who had ione that wasnt emotionally scarred by it), otherwise, if they have to have the baby, you fucking take care of it. You decided the child would live, then you decided HOW it would live, so take care of it, or shut the fuck up.

you could've worded the poll better. I'm not really "For it", since I'm not saying "Yeah, abortions for all!" or anything, I'm just against making it illegal. Most of the time the reasons for outlawing abortion are religious, and you can't take religion into consideration when deciding whether or not something should be illegal. Technically speaking, one could say that it's not even a mammal until it develops lungs and it's spinal cord. But my personal feelings don't matter in this case, because even if I were completely against them, I would still say they should be legal because the availability should be there for those who want them. Besides, they'll get them anyways. I'd rather them be done in a sanitary clinic with liscensed people performing them than in a basement by Abortion Larry.

COMPLETELY AGAINST IT!!! Doing what you want to with your own body is one thing BUT murdering an innocent life is another. That is all I have to say with this subject
