Yeah, too bad we're too immature here to handle it. I belong to TWO other forums where opinions are respected and discussed. But, I can see we're not like that, sadly. We're ADULTS people. Grow up.

Ok, who invented a time machine and brought you over from the 19th century?

Like this. This is why we can't handle this. Grow UP. And then send me back to the 19th century, I guess. At least people had respect for people then.

Umm, no, not really.. And I can't understand how abortion still can be an issue in so many countries... It's a way of helping people who have been raped.. Or maybe the condom broke or the birth control pill didn't work (they're not 100% safe, for anyone who didn't know).. But on the other hand I don't think abortion should be overly used.. Like, there was a girl in my class who had gotten like three abortions at the age of 15, because she didn't want to use any kind of protection... That is stupid and discusting... But I still think it should be an option.

Look at that.. Actual arguments..

It wouldn't be an option when she's about to explode?

There's all kinds of things wrong with this, none of which can be solved with a blanket solution, just like 99% of everything else in the world.

Exactly why it is still an issue because it's "misused" for lack of a better term. It's not just used in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother in risky pregnancies, but for people who are too selfish to accept the consequences of their poor decision making. Why should an innocent child have to be eliminated because the mother made a poor choice? To me abortion as a basically another form of birth control is just selfish.

I think the kid would be better off dead before fetal development than to grow up dirty and poor and unhappy because his mom made a bad decision by getting knocked up and then made ANOTHER bad decision by not getting an abortion.
