I haven't honestly read through this entire thread, but what I did read (mainly on the first page) was everyone agreeing that its wrong. Which I would have to continue in trend with.
There are very few people in life that I ultimately will never have respect for. And people who think abortions are okay, rank pretty high.
My personal opinion is much like everyone else has stated. Anyone who has sex, at this point in our generation, should know exactly what 'could' happen. I understand a lot of underage teens get sexually active, & I'm not going to fight that being right or wrong.. but I will fight immaturity being a major reason why everyone asks their children to wait.
The funny thing about this thread is my Wife & I seen a few billboard signs put up along the highway leading into town, tonight, that had "Abortion is stopping a beating heart" & "I'm worth saving." (with a picture of a baby)
We talked about how we can't understand if the FEMALES in this world don't wish to EVER have children, then why don't the simply have surgery to get their tubes tied? Similar with males. If MALES don't wish to EVER have children, why not get snipped? Yeah, its a surgery, but no it isn't as difficult as it seems. Fact is, I'd say a good 70% of the people who claim they never want children, yet don't get "fixed," are lying to themselves.. because somewhere they don't get the surgery, on the 1, singular thought, that they actually MAY want kids.
Bottomline.. if you don't want a child, its easier than abortion to simply give it up for adoption. I'd highly say do that instead.
Another thing that pisses me off is.. I've actually heard from some females that the reason they'd opt FOR abortion, is because they don't wish to go through the pain of delivery. Thats just not taking responsibility, in itself. You did the deed, now bring forth the seed.
All in all.. adoption works for those who have unwanted pregnancies. Don't kill the baby, just because you aren't responsible, mature, or respectful enough to follow through with the act you committed. Give it up, so it can fight & have a chance at a better life, than no life at all.
One final thing.. to anyone who feels abortion is good.. what if YOU, were a mistake? Would you of wanted to die, before you ever had a chance to fully live?
