A simple Yes or No with a short explanation.

Without adding qualifiers, should abortion be allowed? Why?

vauge · 10-29-04, 09:08 PM

No, because a choice was made before the event.

Unrestrained , government funded, Abortion on demand- NO

You can't answer this question without qualifiers. Should abortion be allowed? Only in extreme circumstances. It should never be used as a "way out". But for this to be feasible, a lot of laws on the books need to be revamped.

Yes. Woman's choice.

If the life of the woman is threatened, rape cases, or if the life of the baby will be sub-par if it is born into the home. Also, if the government bans it, abortions will still happen, and they will most likely be brutal, it would not be pragmatic to try to prevent them.

No,
murder is murder.

who gets to deside sub-par vs par.

Yes but if the man gets up and walks out, the woman is screwed. Who says its murder? When does "life" really start? It's extremely hard to be so cut and dry over abortion. It would be unfair for a child to be born to a 16 year old wouldn't it? Thats what I would consider subpar. A judge would have to decide that though

My son was born to a 17 year old jack ass and he has a great life. Much better than if it would have been ended and him not given the chance to live.

Abortion is the same as taken a 12 guage to a newborns head and pulling the trigger. It the exact same result, murder

I tend to agree with CSA on this topic.

Taking into account that the young one is part of a man AND a woman. Yes there will be times when the man is not in the picture - that is irrelivant.

Unfortuantly, you are right as well. There is no stopping it completely. But, we can do our best to slow it significantly down.

It shouldn't be "slowed down" but used properly. It should never be used as a "way out" of dealing with a kid. It should however be used when the life on the mother is threatened, rape, etc. Think about it, if you were raped, not only would you carry the reminder of the rape for 9 months, and every time you look at the child, it reminds you of the rape. Thats just wrong for the mother.
