Banning abortion is inhumane, murder and is against human rights.

i appreciate this is a very sensitive subject but from an Agnostic point of view having an abortion is down to the women and should not be frowned upon! In the eyes of the law it isn't murder. However if a woman should get herself in a position where she has unprotected sex deliberately and then decides that she doesn't want the baby then she shouldn't be given a priority when it comes to having the abortion on the National Health Service (NHS)! The foetus should only be terminated in the four following situations
- The woman has been raped.
- The baby is going to be born into poverty or an extremely unstable environment.
- The baby will have a severe life changing or threatening illness.
- The mothers health will be detrimentally affected.
I personally strongly believe that someone should never be pressured into having or not having an abortion!

I agree. I don't see why a woman who choose to have unprotected sex should have the same choice as a woman who has been raped (unless any of those four circumstances came into play).

If the woman has unprotected sex intentionally (like not rape) and gets pregnant, it is her own problem. The woman shouldn't have unprotected sex unless she is able to have a baby. If the woman does get pregnant, the woman should pay the price by the hardships of labour, and then give the baby up for adoption if she can't raise it herself. The baby shouldn't pay for it by being slaughtered for his/her mothers mistakes.

And about the whole adoption thing being immorral, i'm sure a person would much rather be alive and adopted than slaughtered before birth. I'm sure if you went around asking children who are in orphanages or who have been adopted whether they would have been preferred to be murdered before they were born, most would say no.

The Muslim faith considers it a human after 4 months of development. I don't care what Atheists think.

It's not what atheists think that matters at all. It's doctors and courts etc etc who can belong to any faith or non at all that decide stuff like when the limit of an abortion can be.

And Parliament in the first instance.

I love how there's a bunch of guys on this thread demanding that abortion be stopped. My question to you is this: are you going to help her raise the child? See, a lot of the pressure of potential pregnancy lies in the fact that the other party isn't going to bloody well be there to take responsibility. Personally, no guy is going to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body if he's not f***ing well going to be there to take what consequences there may be.

On the whole, I don't actually agree with abortion except in rape-cases, and even then, after a certain point in the pregnancy I don't really think it should be allowed regardless. But I digress. This is one of the rare occasions when I feel like gender has a very serious role in all this. As women, we're saddled with the child regardless of what happens. Don't forget, the act of giving birth is a deep, personal, emotional experience for a lot of women- whether or not they keep the baby. Thus giving birth is a HUGE life altering experience for many women, no matter what the outcome is. I hate to see people writing it off as if it's just "carry it about for awhile and then pop it out and you're done!" It's not like baking a bloody ham.
