If society says abortion is a normal part of life, then women will be guilt free?

For me, personally, yes. I see it as murder, and unforgivable, as I consider human life to begin at conception.
In the same way that I wouldn't have anything to do with an adult who killed another adult, I wouldn't have anything to do with an adult who killed an unborn baby.

Intransigent thinkers who have an "abortion is always wrong even in rape" are so debating from the comfort of their arm chairs.
In both Bosnia and Rwanda, women and children as young as 11 were raped and impregnated as part of a deliberate strategy on the part of the militias to humiliate but also create a new ethnic population.
How can you tell such a child of 11 who has been so traumatised that their needs are second to that of this undeveloped foetus?

Because both are alive and human so both should therefore have the same human right to live without someone else deciding to kill them.

I'm anti-abortion, and I, too, would never want to know if a friend/relative had had one. I wouldn't be able to keep the relationship going, then.

A woman's pregnancy as a result of rape is a horribly traumatic that she has to live with and endure. Though the fact a lot of pro-choice arguments are based on this means that it's a terrible price to pay. Allowing abortion easily may help the trauma of those women but the price payed is that will make more irresponsibility on most people's part.

We should be careful about how we use contraception and understand that sex can come with consequence that we have to accept.

I know someone who had slept with three different men within the space of a few weeks. She fell pregnant and without her boyfriend knowing she had an abortion. She was irresponsible and stupid. This makes abortion seem a casual thing. That's not right. It's also an insult to women who are raped, the abortion bill was designed to protect them from the terrible results of pregnancy as a result of rape, not for irresponsible women to have casual flings and abort.

Women who are incapable of bearing a child emotionally should have thought about this before and they should feel guilty if they have an abortion.

Have you ever discovered that a friend/relative has had one though? It does completely change your perspective of taht person, i'll agree with that, but to stop the relationship completly over a tiny aspect of that person seems a little drastic as who are you to say what they do with their lives. I agree with your views morally, and personally i'm anti-abortion but I don't agree with judging my friends/relatives as at the end of the day if they want to go and do that then it's on their conscience - but I don't agree with the act.

So sitting comfortably are we then?

And how exactly are you in any kind of better position? I doubt you are currently typing under a straw roof in Africa.

Well accept it because it is. If you look at the minisqual number of abortions to the number of, say, tadpoles who do not survive to grow into frogs.
You will argue that human life is not comparable to tadpoles. And I would agree - However I think you need to rethink what a fetus actuly is...

Mmmm... but

"If you are not free to choose wrongly and irresponsibly, you are not free at all."

Oh the irony/hypocrisy...

For me, personally, yes. I see it as murder, and unforgivable, as I consider human life to begin at conception.
In the same way that I wouldn't have anything to do with an adult who killed another adult, I wouldn't have anything to do with an adult who killed an unborn baby.

that life begins at conception.

reeeaaally? so if your mum killed a rapist... ?

its never that clear cut

This...y'know, people seem to think that women just pop along to a clinic all smiles and when it's done, down to the pub, forget about it.

It's the hardest decision to ever make

It's still murder...

But the woman is free to choose.However, that doesn't change the fact that she is killing a human being.


But well done for being pleased with yourself.

Not really. And what does my statement have to do about 'sitting comfortably'??

But that's what is hard to understand. If you don't believe abortion is murder (ending the life a developing human) then why feel guilty about it or find it difficult to do?
