Abortion. Opinions? - Comments

In my opinion, I'm not sure I could do it. Just the thought of having an abortion makes me shudder. But I do support people in abortion. We should not judge someone when they want an abortion because we are not in their shoes. We do not judge someone when we do not know what they have been through. Personally, if I got pregnant I would not get an abortion. God obviously wanted it to happen for a reason, so I wouldn't get one. But I do have times where I think oh wow, I'm happy I don't have a baby this young because things would be totally different ! But this is only my opinion. So I'm pro abortion for other people, but not for me.

I'm sorry about your cousin's wife. I truly am. And I think it's sad that there are girls resorting to unsafe methods to kill their child. For many reason.

But they made that choice to have sex, and I think if your going to walk into that risk and allow yourself to be susceptible to the consequences (pregnancy, STIs, STDs, HIV, etc), then you need to be responsible for that. You could open your legs, knowing the possibility of getting pregnant was there, you can handle having a child (of course, the general "you"). I'm not going to feel sorry for someone for getting pregnant, because, to me, pregnancy is a beautiful thing, no matter the circumstances and it's not something to be ashamed of or try to terminate.

I realize you may not agree with me, but it's also my opinion that as soon as that "cluster of cells" latches onto the wall of the uterus, it is a living thing and has it's own choices. People constantly talk about the woman's choice, but what about that baby's choice? Why didn't that baby get a choice? Especially in the case of the fetus being seven months along, as you mentioned, I don't understand how anyone could confuse a human life as a "mass" or just "tissue" or a "cluster of cells." If that's all that baby is just a cluster of cells, that so are you and I. That baby can already hum, smile, suck his thumb, play with his hands and feet as well as kick. How could that be confused with just some tissue?

But that's just my personal opinion. I'm sorry you don't agree. I do worry about your health and your mental stability should you ever decide to get an abortion but I cant make your decisions for you. But know that even getting an abortion early on can be an unsafe thing just as using illegal methods or getting one late on in the cycle. Also, every person I have known to get an abortion (granted there aren't many) has had a lot of psychological problems later on and often suffer some sort of PTSD, so I hope you think long and hard if you can handle the weight such an act carries before you actually get one.

I won't hate a person who gets an abortion or lose respect for them, but I will not ever support that decision and I won't pity them for the consequences (either that of getting pregnant in the first place or the effects of the abortion) because in both cases, it was their choice (unless its the result of rape, but I've always held the belief that a child shouldn't be punished for his parents crimes) and they have to bear that themself. I see it as a sort of "hate the sin, love the sinner" sort of thing, though. I won't think less of the person, but I won't support their decision to murder a child and I won't be a part of it in any way.

I couldn't do it... When I found out I was pregnant by this dumb ass guy, the first thing he told me was to get an abortion... My best friend who is his uncle told me I should do it to keep myself from having to be around him, but I told him I was just going to raise it myself because no child deserves to die... I thought that I wasn't going to be able to have any kids because of the depo shot, but I was wrong... And it had to be this loser... I can't kill a life. I would play around with my sister about it, but she took it serious and said she would never talk to me ever again... Even my dumb ass bd's family wants me to keep it... They've been the most supportive and I couldn't be anymore happier.. Now as I get farther along, my bd is starting to come around a lot more... Lol.. But fuck him... Anywho, I'm happy to be prego and I can't wait to see my baby... I don't care if I'm pregnant with more than one, they will never have to worry about their safety in the womb. Getting abortions will never happen in my lifetime, even if I don't want to be a mom anymore... ^_^...

@ God's_Child22
I understand where you are coming from, but its natural people are going to fuck. but its up to them to make sure to be responsible. Like i stated before. there are other methods and that is adoption. It would kill me to get an abortion but if you think about it. if you find out that you are only two weeks along then its not even developed and only a cell still. four weeks is when the baby actually starts to develop. Everyone has their own views when it comes to abortion and sex etc. it is good to discuss it though because you learn from others.

yes I thought about it but like i said if it came down to it I would do it. I wouldnt want to but I would have to...

@ indigo.
yeah, that's my opinion.. Thank God Obama is getting rid of the abortion thing... Even though I can't stand that stupid son of a bitch, at least he's doing something right for a change... Lol....^_^

@ God's_Child22
No problem with the cussing. No, it's interesting to know everyone's opinion. I was just confused with the last bit is all.

@ indigo.
girl i fuck without a condom so why would i be against that.. lol.. but yes, i am against people who do abortions... i don't care who has sex without condoms... that's ya, but killing a life that was your fault of bringing in the first place is just wrong... also, sorry for cussing on your thing...

@ God's_Child22
Are you against people who have sex outside the sanctity of marriage/without protection or people who have abortions?

@ albluerose
well then don't fuck... simple as that.... people know what the consequences are... im sorry, im against that shit and I don't like the people who do it.. you thought about it, but that's totally different from actually doing it.... I'm just saying...

before I had my son I was against abortion, Obviously since I had my son. but after I had my son my views changed quite a bit. honestly if I was to get pregnant by mistake and I was only a few weeks a long 2 weeks maybe* I would get an abortion because, I made a mistake *though I highly doubt it would happen because I use condoms* anyways I also no i am not ready for another child, not physically and not mentally or financially. I want to go to college, I want to have a life again *which I don't have anymore lol* but yeah I would get an abortion or if I was to far a long I would put the baby up for adoption.

@ God's_Child22
Babies are miracles and amazing all of the above but if a person is not ready *which I know many* that child will end up having a horrible life. like I stated before I wasn't a fan I'm not a fan but if I have to I will unless I am to far along which I would resort to adoption. and your right that people fuck with no condoms and think nothing of it until they are over the bowl throwing up a few weeks later lol.. but there are also people who do use bc and the bc just doesn't work lol

I don't respect people who get abortions... I think babies r miracles and they should be loved and cared for even if that person didn't want them.. I think people fuck without condoms on purpose and then don't want the responsibility... That's my opinion..

Personally, I believe that I'm pro-choice. I think everyone should have the ability to decide for themselves if they'd like to keep or abort it, but I'm also one of those people that probably wouldn't want to get one should I happen to become preggers. I think that if you become pregnant, you should, at the very least, consider giving birth to it, because you knew (or should have known) the consequences of sex before doing it. As you said, nothing's 100% safe. I do think an exception to this would be rape because who wants a constant reminder of a horrible memory?

I don't want people aborting babies simply because they can, though. I can understand what you said earlier about it ruining what someone's built up for themselves, but I just would love for the baby to not be aborted. Just my own opinion, though.

This post is so refreshing to read and I completely agree with absolutely everything you had to say! Men, especially those in congress, think they are entitled to our bodies (or so it seems) and it's wrong. While I can't say that I'd ever get an abortion or not (I guess it's depend on the circumstances), I'd still like the decision to do with MY body as a please.

Honestly though, I've only ever had one partner in life and I've already told him that, if it ever came down to it, I wouldn't do anything without his input. We are, however, as safe with sex as we can possibly be and (since neither of us wants kids) we're just leaving it up to fate to make sure that our safety pays off!

In my opinion, the views of abortion ultimately come down to whether or not a person believes a woman should have a right to her reproductive choices or if women are just incubators. You either think a woman should control her reproductive rights, or you think she down and thus see her as nothing more than an incubator. For me, I am pro-choice. I believe in women having a right to abortion and believe a woman shouldn't be criticized for an abortion, no matter the reason. The thing that pro-lifers don't seem to understand is that banning abortion won't stop abortion, like you mentioned in your blog. We can either keep it legal and have it done in a safe, sterile environment. Or we can make it illegal and force women to do it in unclean, dangerous ways. Abortion will happen, it just depends on how much our society cares for our women and unfortunately, a lot of people don't really seem to give a shit if women live or die. They're ignorant. They need to educate themselves on abortion and on compassion.

So my opinion is pro-choice. If you want to have an abortion, then alright. If you don't want to, then alright. That's your choice to make and everyone should have a right to make their own choice over their own body.

I entirely think it's up to the woman carrying the child. I get really mad when I hear people talk bad about women for having an abortion and saying they should've just dealt with it. They seem to forget that they're not the ones carrying the baby and it is not their decision to make. I just wish people would stop telling other people what they can and can't do with their bodies.

I agree with this blog completely. Whether or not I would personally ever have an abortion I can't say, but I do believe the choice is up to the pregnant woman, and her alone. It's different if she asks opinions, you know? But some people will have no problem trying to guilt women, or pressure them into a pregnancy that they don't want/need.

I'm pro-choice, because although you technically are 'killing a child,' it is unborn and technically a vegetable; it is relying on its mother for everything. I think that getting an abortion is up to the mother and the father. I'm not saying that if the father objects to it that the woman has to have to the child, I just think that they have to come to some reasoning. If I grow up and get a girl pregnant and she goes off on her own to get an abortion I'll be pretty mad; it would have been my child and I would have no say on whether it would have a life or not.

I guess that it depends on the person's place in life too. If the person is in college and trying to get a degree and a job, I would suggest they abort it. If they have a steady job and can actually provide for the kid, I see no reason as to aborting it (besides emotionally instability, unstable relationship with significant other, or rape).

Double post, sorry.

Your post was a bit long so I didn't finish. I think abortion should be allowed only in the first trimester. The world is already overpopulated with humans.

I think the option of abortion is up solely to the pregnant woman, and no one else. Not her friends, her family, significant other, no one. I don't judge people for having abortions, same as I don't judge them if they're against abortions. It doesn't affect me, it is not my business. At all.

But I definitely agree with this blog.
