Cmmon sense about Abortion that ALL should agree on.

I used to think that I was pro-life, because I personally don't think that I could go through with an abortion, but I have come to realize that I am pro-choice, each person should be able to make there individual choice as to weather a child is right for them. An abortion is a very important decision to make, and I would think it wouldn't be an easy one, there is alot of thought and feelings that have to go into that. I agree that life is precious. I don't agree with all the publicity about this, I don't want to see the ads on billboards and such. I do agree that anyone who makes the decision should know exactly what is going to happen. Figure, on any other kind of surgery your doctor tells you what is going to happen and the risks involved. Abortion should be no different, it is a medical procedure, it is happening to your body, you should know what is going to happen. But it shouldn't be a scare tactic or a judgement. It should be matter of fact, like when the dentist tells you that he is going to pull your teeth. And I don't think people should be able to stand outside the clinics passing judgement on the ones that do make the decision. You don't know what circumstances brought the person to that decision. You haven't walked in there shoes and know whats in there heart. I also agree that abortion should not be used as birth control. It seems it would be much simpler and safer to use some form of birth control, but again, I haven't walked in there shoes and don't know what led them to it.


just my thoughts....

If everyone is so pro-choice and wants to be able to make their own decision about their body.

What about the baby - their decision will be made for them.

And - why not put the baby up for adoption.

Anyone who is under 18 has their decision made for them. Why should this be any different??

As far as adoption, Why should we put the child up for adoption?? Everyday we hear of horror stories of the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of children who are up for adoption that have no parents. They dont have anyone care for them. Or worse, they are horribly abused.

Personally, my children are worth more to me than my house. So I guess you would not move somewhere else for the sake of your child's health....say Arizona for example if he needed to live in that type of climate. So, you wouldn't sell your house to pay for medical bills for your child.....It seems that this is along the same line of thought.

Children may alter your life, but they won't 'destroy' it.

So let's sterilize our children under the age of 18 (we make decisions for them) that way I will not have to raise any bastard kids they may have and I won't be called 'Grandma'.......

BTW Children can recover from abuse, but they can't recover from an abortion....

:evil: Just playing devil's advocate, not necessarily my opinions.....

I guess there is an easy solution - if ya don't want to get pregnant - STOP HAVING SEX :covereyes

My Son that I HAVE is worth more to me. Something thats the size of a microscopic organism is not going to alter my entire life. As far as "destroying" my life, yea someone whos not IN my life might see that as a bit extreme but ME PERSONALLY I SEE IT AS DESTROYING.

As far as just "Not having sex" well thats about as ASSININE as someone can get saying that. GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK. Say something that actually makes sense if you're going to use it as an argument.

No one who is in a healthy adult relationship is going to just "stop having sex" GET REAL.

Your the one that said HAVING A CHILD WOULD DESTROY YOUR LIFE. If that is truly how you feel - then make sure it doesn't happen.

I will. By taking birth control and using condoms and by having the option of abortion. Its called doing the responsible thing, ya know....PLANNING ahead. Doing the right thing. Saying oh look hunny im preggers, I guess God will make everything OK is not exactly responsible..it personally sounds downright STUPID. Thats not something that im OK doing.

I have a question for those who are anti-abortion. Who is going to be paying for all these unwanted children?? Where are all these people who want to adopt going to come from??

Sorry - I don't see abortion as a part of birth control :evil:

There are plenty here right now. They're just adopting from other countries right now because of the 'infant' shortage.
