Yes I am pro-choice, I do not believe in late term abortions unless it is medically necessary. I am sorry but as a women if you couldn't figure out that you were pregnant until the child could be medically viable outside the womb, a few more weeks is a reality, because that is a baby if it can survive on its own without being inside you we have no right to kill it.

The fact that it happens at all makes it worth bringing up. For the sake of argument, cannibalism is an extremely rare part of murder, but it's still charged as a separate crime. So why should partial-birth abortions be ignored?

Pro-choice. Late term is not a good idea though. There are way too many complications and dangers to the mother and at that point you pretty much have a human being. So I think that is a pretty good place to draw the line

I'm fully pro-choice! I feel everyone should be able to make their own choices in life. Personally I couldn't take care of a child, and I feel I'm too selfish to carry a child and give it up. I'd rather end the pregnancy then have it and not be able to take care of it.

No, unless the mother was raped or will die giving birth.

I am pro life. I just feel if they can have a heartbeat 3 weeks after you have sex then its a life.

I'm with Lildrummgurl7 on this one- when you make something illegal, it makes it way less safe. I'd rather see a society where women are able to make decisions concerning their future without government intervention. As a side note, I also do not think I would ever get an abortion unless medically necessary, but would leave that option open to others.

Yes, but not late term and it should not be used as birth control. Also, if women can choose to abort babies without any input from their partners, I believe that men(and women as well if they want) should be able to give up responsibility if they choose(and this is coming from a woman). Just like a woman should not be forced to carry a child she doesn't want, a man should not be forced to support a child he doesn't want.

I actually don't agree with the late term abortions, Someone should have taken action before getting to that point. I am pro choice because you never know what situation that person is in when they make the decision.

I am pro choice. I don't like the idea of abortion and I think it's not a decision to be made lightly. But I think it is the woman's right to make that choice.

Yes. Women have the right to choose their future.

My stance on this issue is that Governments should not mandate "morality". That's not their job. Legally, in my opinion, people have not only the right but the responsibility to make moral decisions for themselves - meaning they deserve the right to choose what they want to do.

"I strongly believe there are those who should never be parents and there are those who aren't ready to be parents. They should be allowed to have options that are in safe and sterile environments. Making abortions illegal would only resort desperate people into using coat hangers and other things that are very dangerous for their own health. It's going to do much more harm than good.

Late term abortions are rare because most people know if they want that child or not, sooner. However, I don't think they should be allowed if the unborn baby is at a stage where medically, it could survive. If that is possible, we should try to save that life. I'm sure someone would adopt those babies."

This. I'm -ing you so hard right now.

We've been trying to have a baby for 17 years so I would never, ever consider having an abortion. However, it's not my place to make this type of decision for anyone else and I would never want someone to decide for me so I'm pro-choice.

Opening one's checkbook is totally different than totally changing one's life and one's body. There is NO similarity between financially supporting a child, and carrying that child INSIDE your body, risking your life giving birth to it, and then giving up your life to take care of it. Nothing in common.

One is a slight financial commitment and the other is that person's entire fricking life. Opening one's wallet is not the same things as gestating and raising a child.

I've got three kids, if you want to know. There's more to gestating and raising kids than opening one's wallet.

Plus, it's a fallacy that anyone uses abortion, (they are too expensive and too hard to get) especially the rare and rarely used "late term" abortion for "birth control." Saying so is just Right Wing propaganda. In most states abortion simply cannot be performed after 18-20 weeks. I've known patients who didn't know that the fetus had things like Trisomy 13, 16 18, (incompatible with life most of the time) until after 20 weeks and had to go out of state to end the doomed pregnancy.

NO ONE can "walk into an abortion clinic the day before the baby is due" and request an abortion. Anyone who tells you things like this is LYING. That's not the way medicine works.

I just posted and then deleted a picture and description of a Trisomy 13 baby. It was too gruesome to leave on the site. (It was a cyclops baby, who didn't have a roof in his mouth, whose nose was barely attached, and it didn't look or function like a nose, who had severe brain damage, malformed heart, polydactly, and was blind and deaf among other things.

It's cruel and inhumane to let a pregnancy like this to to term. Look it up yourself, if you have a strong stomach. So sad, the selfishness of some who would force a baby like this attempt to survive, when their condition is medically incompatible with life and still call themselves....whatever .

There are a LOT of things that people who post propaganda and sloganeering don't know about the very things they speak of.

I'm getting too upset, as I refuse to argue about abortion.

But, damn, try working in L&D or OBGYN for a few years. You'll see things and understand why sometimes women have to make difficult and heartbreaking choices for their pregnancies. Trisomy 13 is only ONE of them... as it Trisomy 22, Trisomy 18, and others.
