Abortion, right or wrong?

I'll admit I have my problems with forcing a woman to give birth. And I'll also admit that I wouldn't be ready to wholeheartedly endorse such a law.

I fail to see how considering the passing on of genetic material being an important issue justifies killing babies and children. If anything its the opposite.

Because forcing an abortion is killing an unborn child, and killing a child the mother wants. While forcing her to not have an abortion is putting the woman through pain and discomfort.

Er, surely that's exactly what you've just been advocating.

So why does it justify killing foetuses but not babies? If that's the reason you're allowed to kill foetuses, why can't that be a reason to kill children too?

I'm astounded that you think the only reason not to force a woman to have an abortion is because 'it's an unborn child'. What about how disgusting and brutal it is to physically force a woman to go through the ordeal of an abortion? Isn't that the reason you wouldn't force a woman to have an abortion? It's nothing to do with the foetus. Jesus.

It's not right, but it has to be allowed. What about the incapable 15 year olds who'd never be able to raise a child properly? Rape victims? It's not "right" to kill a child, but with out abortion we'd be worse off.

I hate how often this discussion comes up, 10 pages ahoy!

So i'm doing this as part of a project at college so yeh, what do you guys think of abortion?

Basically, what circumstances, if at all, is abortion right or wrong?

And do you think abortion is becoming just another contraceptive nowadays?

Its sick and wrong unless you have been raped and want to not have the past haunt you.

Noone is saying have sex without contraception its disgusting and yes it is another contraceptive to aalot of people these days

Coming from experience, I support abortion.

I know of double figure rape victims who have gone on to have abortions, as well as some whose sex was consensual.

The law around it being illegal after 24 weeks is something I don't agree with, but as I'm in no way linked to the study of foetus', I can't really voice an opinion of when it should become illegal.

By my reckoning, the foetus has never experienced life; and so would not know what it is missing out on even if it could process thoughts.

Answer me this: Why should two lives potentially be ruined if a mother does not want to go full term, give birth and end up unhappy and resentful of said child?

I work for a certain agency that deals with kids and parents that have parted ways, and this kind of thing comes across my desk on what is practically a daily basis. Two or more lives can be ruined by an unwanted child - even adopted ones. Cold hearted? Bite me
