To be honest, I am surprised this hot-button issue hasn't been explored here yet! So, what are your opinions on abortion? For? Against? For in certain cases?

Personally, I am extremely pro-choice and would never deny a woman a right to an abortion for any reason. HOWEVER I must admit that I do have a moral problem with aborting a fetus when it would be able to survive outside the body. I am educated on the topic, though, and I am aware that fewer than 1/5 of 1% of all abortions are performed after 24 weeks, and almost all of those are for medical reasons, so that make me more comfortable.

I am on the same page with you although i would not make this choice for myself i would not stand in the way of someone else if that thought it was right for them, it is our body and we should make the choices that effect it. I think birth control and education can go along ways in controlling this hot issue, because that would mean less young women would consider it.

I am a pro-choice woman. I do not EVER want to have an abortion, but if or when I am raped, abused by my partner, or faced with an unwanted pregnancy, I want that decision to be mine and mine alone.

I would much rather we find better ways to avoid unwanted pregnancy. More effective birth control, a more comprehensive understanding of ways to prevent conception, and enhanced methods of finding and caring for rape victims, to begin with.

I am against it.
If the mother is stupid enough to get pregnant by accident, she has no rigt killing the human being inside herself so life would be easier for her.
You create life, you can't take it away, its not yours to give away.

Abortion is murder. If a woman gets pregnant because of rape and doesn't want the child, why can't she have it adopted? Possibly not the kindest thing to do, but surely better than killing a baby. If a woman gets pregnant because she was careless, it is her fault...why take it out so extrememly on her son or daughter?
