So, this is just to discuss abortions. I am all for them, and respect anyone else's opinions. If you disagree with someone, feel free to tell them, but don't get your panties in a bunch.
Don't want a child? Don't have sex. Each time you have sex, even protected, you risk a chance of becoming pregnant/getting a girl pregnant. I find it incredibly selfish for abortion to a quick response to a poorly-planned mistake. Now, if you were raped, then yes, abortion can be an option, as the woman had no say in her situation. She didn't choose to have sex, and carry that burden. Otherwise, don't take out your frustration on an innocent life. Don't want the child? Give it up for adoption. Killing a human being, no matter how early or late the process of it's forming is, is just selfish. The only reason to have an abortion is if you were forcefully impregnated. If you had consensual sex, then it's your fault, and you should bear the consequences. Either raise the child, or give it to a family who will.
