Abortion is preventing a life because two people @#%$ up.


2 billion + innocent children think people are @#%$ up pretty doggon often.


I don't have any stats to back it up, but I'd bet that any women that gets an abortion is much more careful in the future.


Many, many women who get abortions have mental problems, and are ridden with guilt for the rest of their lives.


. But I do believe it should be an option -- maybe some good will come of it.


I think legalized murder should never be an option.



In an American hospital they cannot give a child under 18 an aspirin without parental consent.

Yet girls under eighteen can have an abortion without their parents ever knowing about it.

That's just encouraging the problem.

Yeah, well. In America, 12 000 people are killed per year by guns and schools spend more on sports than on teaching children to read.

Never knew you could get an abortion without parental support, though. Strange (and yes, undoubtadly encouraging the 'problem').

Yeah. But abortion is (technically) legal. And numbers of not-entirely-developed fetuses aren't as compelling as numbers of people that were known and loved...

Not saying that makes it better, really. Just commenting.

Legal doesn't equal right.

You would rather they raised the child? My opinion is that for them to not have an abortion is ludicrous. You can't expect a teenage girl to be able to get an education and raise a child. It’s unfair on both her and the baby.

You cannot justify murder with pity. It just doesn't work. Allowing an under age girl to have a major medical procedure without the parents foreknowledge and consent is undermining parental authority, which will lead to the destruction of our civilization as it did with Rome.

If the girl doesn't want a child, she could: not have sex, or live with the consequences of her (and his) actions, and put the child up for adoption...

There are numerous alternatives out there besides those the pro-death organizations offer.

The only thing I hate more than abortions:

3 000 000 American deaths a year by smoking.

Smoking is different, IMO. So long as the smoker is considerate of non-smokers, I could care less if they want to kill their lungs off.

Yeah, but smoking is addictive non the less. Cigarette Companies know that there are less addictive Cigarettes with less harmful chemicals, but they would rather keep poising three million Americans each year rather than lose a few dollars from the cigarettes that won't be bought as a result of the less addictiviness.
