Abortion

Is it right? What should be the deadline to have one before it becomes murder? What things are acceptable to be able to have an abortion? Are there any reasons why you shouldn't? Is it murder?

I love debating on this topic xD
I'm 100% for abortion.
It's your choice. You can't afford a baby, then you should get an abortion and not ruin your life.
I'm tired, and i'll go into more detail with facts and stuff once people start posting ;P

after like 2-3 months you CANT get an abortion.. Not sure if thats the right time.. but its something like that.

Im for it.. I mean they haven't learnt anything.. they are still developing...
Like missy said.. if you cant afford it.. why **** your life up..

ALTHOUGH.... there are alternative options.. adoption.. etc..

I think if the baby would be unhappy because of where it would be being born into then it's ok, and also if your under 18 or something and it was an accident.

i was just talking to my friend about this the other day and shes a devote christian, as soon as the baby is conceited you're killing a life

but by law its not considered a baby unless it takes a breath outside of the womb on its own or something like that according to law & order lol.

i always thought i'd be against it but my friend had gotten pregnant by some dude who already has 2 kids who shes been seeing for a month or two and the guy was trying to tell her to keep it and i was like thats crazy, but she had already gotten the abortion and i agreed with her.

why bring another unwanted life into this world? you have to put your life on hold for a year and put off every other plans in the future/near future (unless you have help)

they were talking about an abortion ban on tv yesterday night but i wasn't really paying attention to it. i don't like abortions but people should be less careless and more responsible when it comes to sex. but theres really nobody who can say whats right or wrong because its our own bodies.

It is your choise...and I will never argue that fact, but I do belive that if you don't want the child in the first place you should have taken the proper procautions to prevent conception. Also consider the other alternitaves to abortion..there are a lot of childless couples out there that would love to adopt a baby.

I think it should only be allowed under special circumstances. By having sex, you know that there is a risk of getting pregnant. So if you do it, it's your own darn fault. No reason to kill a life just because you weren't thinking. If you can't afford to have a baby, don't have sex.

But what if people have sex and don't realise the consequnces?

But when you get an abortion what they take out isn't really a baby.
It's like..a blob. xD
So I see nothing wrong with it.
And..what if someone knows the risk of getting pregnant, but they use a condom, blah blah and something happens. Women have every right to get an abortion, no matter how they got preggarz.

I think that the government is doing the right thing by making abortion illegal. To me, abortion is blatantly murder.

Think about it, what qualifies us humans as being alive? A pulse. I think we can all agree, that if someone were to lack a pulse, you can consider that person non-living, or dead, right? Alright, continue to bear with me here.

Murder? Define murder. When I define murder as the intentional taking away of life from another being, we can all agree on that definition, can't we?
Sounds simple enough to me.

The fetus acquires a pulse, or heartbeat, at the age of two weeks. About 90% of abortion take place during the first 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, thus we can conclude that abortion, under the circumstances I listed, can legally be considered murder.
