Would/have you ever? Abortion. Private poll.

I wouldn't have one but I believe its the woman's choice

I'm what you may call a practical pro-lifer. Not militant, not crazy, but do have definite feelings on this. I absolutely do not believe in abortion as a form of birth control (as in, oops, I didn't mean to get preggers). However, I don't consider it morally wrong if it is a situation such as ectopic pregnancy, where it most likely won't result in a viable baby (meaning it won't ever grow large enough to survive on it's own), and would likely kill the mother. I always believe in adoption as an option. If it is a money issue, many adopting families will pay for prenatal care. Add to that the horror stories of the babies that actually survive abortion and are left to die (I hope those are just stories!), and you have a perfect storm of nuh-uh for me.

Do I believe a woman has the right to birth control? Yeppers. Absolutely. Hands down, no question. What she does with her body is her business. But my feelings on this remain that an abortion is not only about a woman's body, but the child's as well.

However, none of that means that I hate people that are pro-choice. I have friends that are. Generally, we just agree to disagree and respect each other's opinions on the matter.

I believe in the power of choice but I not really likely to fact this choice.

I believe that if any woman wants to get an abortion, they should have a right to. However, what I don't believe in is useless sacrifice. Thousands of lives can be saved through harvesting aborted fetuses through stem cells... and if you are a somewhat of a religious person you may think that this is playing God. Or if you are a little bit more open, you can think of it as that fetus's organs are living on through another body.

I'd like to think that we can improve the quality of our health if we let this happen. It doesn't mean that we should all go out and get pregnant just to make donations, but we already have such a high poverty rate as it is. A lot of women do get pregnant because that's their ticket to wellfare, using the government through the life of a child, which is cruel! We are already overpopulated as it is.

Some people, I'd hate to say it, will ruin their lives having a baby early in their lives. They are not ready, emotionally, financially... that itself is cruel. I personally would want to wait until I could give the most to my children.

I haven't but it might depend on the situation

I've never had an abortion (or a pregnancy, for that matter), but I would get an abortion if it was necessary (threat to my life or something).

It's wrong for me personally. I wouldn't want my gf to get one.

I think it's nobody else's business. What other people do has nothing to do with me, and what I do has nothing to do with anyone else. It's between a woman and her doc, that's it.

i have not and would not

I would only get an abortion if it was from an unwanted sexual encounter...

I haven't had one but I don't think I could get one myself unless the fetus was a product of rape or life threatening to me.

But I don't think that it's wrong for women to seek abortions at all.

I might consider it.

I feel like it might make me dysphoric, in terms of trans* ness.

I also feel like I might start fetishizing myself, though, and like it. It depends. If I had a supportive partner or friends, maybe I could like myself that way and actually like it and become a feedee. But I'm not sure.

I feel like my relationship with me actually being pregnant is so complicated and something I'd rather not worry about at the moment. I feel like I couldn't even support myself right now, and don't want to have to deal with abortion, adoption, etc. so I would just do things to keep myself from ever getting in that situation unless I knew I could handle all of my complicated emotions that might arise

My boyfriend and I are very careful but if I somehow got pregnant, I'd get an abortion in a hot second and feel just fine about it. We don't want children.

I'm really sensitive about this subject. Reading through all the comments is difficult. I've had an abortion. I wasn't being careless, I wasn't sleeping around, I was on birth control. I've been with my boyfriend for many years. I'm a perfect pill taker and it failed me. I was taking my pill every single day up to the day when I found out. I was being extremely responsible and it still happened. I don't like babies and don't want one, never have. I have absolutely no desire to have children in my life. In my personal opinion, the entire process of being pregnant and giving birth is disgusting. I hate what it does to the female body and I just find it nightmarish. It gave me intense depression and paranoia to the point of starving myself and considering suicide which is one of the many reasons I chose to terminate as quickly as possible. My mental health was declining. I want to live a child free life until the day I die. Let me have the choice to live the life I want to live. Having a choice is a beautiful thing.... so is peace and quiet and the freedom to do what I want when I want. It's my life and my body.

Until that moment when you seriously think you're pregnant or just find out you're pregnant... you'll never really understand what emotions you'll personally go through.

For a medical emergency or rape then I would do it, but not for any other reason. I don't want to get pregnant right now, but if I did I would probably still keep the baby.

For other ppl, I am fine for a person having an abortion for any reason during the first 3 months. Afterwards I am a little iffy about.

I never have in my life, mostly because I'd hate to have no choice but to do it at all, but if I was still in school and got pregnant I'd have an abortion without a second thought. I'm an independant human being and my livelihood matters more than a cluster of cells that haven't even developed a nervous system to register pain.

Never had one but I did think about it once and I'm glad I didn't do it.

No, it's wrong

Never had one but if something messed up and I found myself pregnant (although why I would skip the morning after option if something messed up i don't know) but let's say something did, and I skipped or forgot 'plan b' or whatever it's called... if I didn't feel I could properly handle a child - and I don't want children anyway regardless of the situation - then yes I would have an abortion.

Accidents happen - nothing is fool-proof and just because something slipped by condom / birth control or whatever precautions are taken doesn't mean I should give up my life and goals and direction to succumb to the accident. In the long run it would cause more problems for the accidental parent and the child than it would be worth to go through 9 months just to bring one more mouth to feed into this world.
