Yes. People shouldn't be killed simply because they are an inconvenience. Its their fault they are having a baby, they should deal with it!

[bronaaaa]

I'm a bit split on this one, I don't agree with abortion as it's basically killing someone, like there's a heartbeat and all early on, like the baby doesn't deserve to have its life ended, like Tom said, just becasue its an inconveinence. Like you might aswell have it and put it up for adoption so it has a chance in life.
But if you were raped, you wouldn't want a living reminder of what happened, like you'd find it harder to love that child because of the way it was conceived. Aswell, for teenagers, having a baby at 13\14\15 can really mess up your education. There's a girl from my town due a few weeks before her GCSE's and it must be awful for the likes of her.

I am split too. If it is a normal person in a normal love life and a happy family wanting one, then they should not be allowed. But if it is someone who was raped, or really young, then i agree that Abortions should be used

Lewis if they want a baby they ent going to have an abortion though?


Also i agree with abortions, when its just a few cells because thats what it is for a while..
And if you dont want a baby or didnt plan for one i dont see why not, you have to make a big decision 9 months of your life where you are limited to what you can do, and your body changes for longer.

I actually LOLed at this. I woke gav up and now hes twisting on about me not sleeping again

[Stacey.]

in most situation abortion is wrong...
youre killing someone!!
surely thats wrong.

[Crimson Dynamo]

it is killing an innocent person for convenience.

( and if you are to mention rape then please do so using numbers)

Whatever a person's views - in the end - no-one has the right to tell another person what to do with their own body.

Even today - giving birth is a risk and could lead to complications and even death. Absolutely no-one has the right to put another person in that situation against their will -nevermind the moral implications of a person's individual choice.

Bang on.

You're right there Setanta it's such a grey subject really, I rarly even get into arguments about it! I lean more on the side of disagreeing with abortion and I'd like to think I would never have one, but having said that I've never been raped so how could I say with 100% honesty how I would feel or what I would do then? It's the people who almost use abortion as a form of contraception really piss me off though.

Ah yeah, that's true. I have the same problem with people who are irresponsible when it concerns birth control but I do think there would always be certain situations where it would be difficult to know what to do.

Is Abortion wrong? In my opinion, yes, it is. But is it any of my business? No, it's not. End of argument. So you could say I am anti abortion and pro choice.

A heartbeat is a very instinctual, physical expression of life. Chickens have heartbeats. What gets aborted is not capable of cognitive thinking, therefore it is not yet fully human in my eyes.

If you want to debate intelligence, then pigs, sheep, cows, kangaroos and a few hundred thousand other species of animal are all far more aware of the world, far more alive, and far more knowing than a little foetus in vitro.
