I simply think that abortions should only be done in the most EXTREME circumstances imaginable, aborting just because the woman wants to continue working or simply isn't ready is stupid, evil and sickening, showing selfishness and inhumanity to the core.

However, in the case of a woman ‘not being ready’ or ‘wanting to continue to work’, I don’t believe that these are acceptable reasons for abortion, and that alternatives such as adoption or fostering is a better solution- that is if the woman really does not want to keep her child.

Our argument isn’t pro choice in any situation, it is pro choice in a quality of life depending situation. This is to say, if a mother (to be) would develop such a poor quality of life that other mental health implications would follow, then abortion should be tolerated.

I was just curious. I keep getting the idea that this is a "please give me your thoughts and opinions, but ultimately, I am correct" booster.

I think the child's life is more important than the mother's opinions. I understand the mother may not want the child for some reason, but that's no excuse to kill it. if they really don't want it, can't they put it up for adoption or something?

What then happens is that these children end up getting involved in crime because their disadvantaged background prevents them from doing well in education and so they feel they have no way out. Then they meet a tragic violent end or end up in prison.
Abortion would have prevented them from suffering a life of misery.

Do you people not realise that putting the child up for adoption isn't necessarily the best thing for the child??

I was pro-life for myself and have always been pro-choice for other women. However I was sexually assaulted (I find it very hard to say the R word even now, 7 months later) in March and ended up pregnant. I then went on to have an abortion. What i'm saying here is, you can't know what you believe or what you'd do unless you've been in that situation.

My Dad was put up for adoption and then adopted - neither was the best thing for him, at all.

The OP hadn't stated any opinion when I posted that.

I'm awfully sorry to hear of your situation and I really hope you don't think I'm being negative or looking for fisty-cuffs, but I don't necessarily believe that you have to experience something directly to have a grown-up idea on what you'd do or to be able to form an opinion. It's like, when people say, "you can't have an opinion on bringing up a child or dealing with their behaviour when you're not a parent" - I believe you can.

What I was trying to get across here is that you can be pro-life but when you're actually in the situation, its a whole different perspective. I 100% agree that you don't have to have had an abortion to have an opinion on it, however you can't say 'I will never have an abortion ever' rather say 'i'd like to think i'd never have an abortion' because most women who have had abortions probably believed they would never have one either.
