I don't see a board on this, but if there is one please let me know and I will take my thoughts there.  Anyways. I've had very mixed thoughts on this topic, and I am aware that for many people it is against their religion. Personally, I feel that in extreme cases, abortion is alright. Before anyone bashes me for saying this, just think about it. You're pregnant, and you're told that your baby is going to have a deadly disease. Or perhaps you have a disease that would make it unsafe to have the baby. In those types of cases, if abortion is the only option, I don't see what's wrong with it. Before you say it's killing a baby, we all know it is, but why would you give birth to the baby if it is just going to suffer and die anyways? It's like putting down an animal. You put your dog to sleep because it is suffering. That was probably a terrible comparison, no human is a dog, but you should get what I'm saying. I do not think abortion should be used as birth control. If you get pregnant and you did not want the pregnancy, that is your fault. There are ways to prevent pregnancy. If you honestly can not support the baby, there is always adoption. I know that in some cases that isn't the best option, but abortion isn't any better. So, your thoughts?

I don't see anything wrong with it.

YES IT OK  

---

Personally, I'm strongly against it. But, I can't judge someone who does do that, because thats not my place.

---

It isn't necessarily good or bad, it just depends on the life situation of the family.

---

I don't really agree with it, but I can understand why some girls do it.

---

There are always reasons. I don't support it fully but I'm not against it in any way whatsoever. 

---

The way I see it is quite simple: It's your choice, but don't get me involved.  Don't force your opinions on abortion at my [future] kids, don't make us pay special taxes so you can get abortions.  I don't ever want to get an abortion, but if you do, fine.  Just don't get me involved.

When you say it like that... I agree 100%. I thought you would be like, "People deserve a choice!" and all that stuff.

I don't think that abortions are okay. and i'm not saying that just because i'm a christian. if you don't want the kid or can't take care of him, put him up for adoption. there are so many couples that can't have their own kids. don't you think it's kind of a slap in the face to them; that we're trying to legallize abortions when they would give anything to be in your shoes? please take note that you are here because you parents didn't abort you when they had the chance.
