Abortion: Pro-Life, Pro-Choice?

What do you think? pro-life? pro-choice?

I beleive in pro-choice, but I do not think it should be used as a form of birth control

Posted by Arbiter on Nov-12-2002 04:37:

I am pro-choice.

The only argument that pro-life advocates have is that abortion is immoral, but that's entirely subjective and hence, very weak.

Thus, I can conceive of no reason to prohibit abortion.

Cheers,

Arbiter

I remember this discussion in the Chill Out Room, and from memory virtually everyone was pro-choice. Perhaps a more contraversial issue would be under which circumstances abortion should be permitted.

For instance, I advocate all abortions pre 18-22 weeks, almost ************ of motivation or reasoning: anyone agree/disagree with that?

i am pro-choice, although activists usually confuse pro-choice with "pro-abortion".... this doesn't mean i'm "for" abortions.... it just means i believe it is the woman's right to decide. Usually under good circumstances i would agree.

I'm definatly pro choice, most people are too. The real question is at what point in the pregnancy does the fetus become a person and abortion become wrong?

Pro choice. Its a very old a dieing debate. Dieing because more and more people are moving towards pro choice as society evolves away from hard line conservative ideals.

When the fetus turns 18.

Or at least that's the impression you'd get from the American legal code.

Seriously, though, I don't think you have to choose a point in the pregnancy to draw the line at. The motivation to have it done as early as possible is the increased risk to the mother involved in late-term abortions - no additional legal motivation is necessary.

pro-choice, and im not against abortions..

Pro Choice, simply cos what about rapes, how could you expect a woman to bring a child from sum1 who maybe tried to kill her & had no respect for her wishes into the world, I wouldn't want that on anyone and I think the choices are always good, its a free world after all

Posted by Photo_bot_2k1 on Nov-18-2002 08:37:

pro choice

Posted by occrider on Nov-19-2002 06:26:

Wow ... I know a lot of people here are somewhat to very religious and yet we still have the mass majority being pro choice. Is that because most of us have experienced shared infringements on our civil liberties from rave acts, club restrictions, and us being a cultural minority with respects to music? Makes you wonder whether our beliefs are formed through personal gain, experience, or sympathy or through true ideaology.

That reminds me of what my brother was arguing:

"Institutionalized cannibalism provides a dynamic and effective solution to two of the most debilitating problems in underdeveloped regions of the world: overpopulation, and public hunger."

LMAO, that line is hilarious, but sadly, true at the same time.

yeah and a man had a small contribution too....

under certain circumstances like rape, economics, single mum etc sure its her descision but otherwise the guy should have some input too! there was an episode of 'the secret life of us' where alex had an abortion, it was an unwanted pregnancy, she didn't want a baby then so ok she had an abortion. but the guy responsible for the pregnancy had no input at all!! she sent him an EMAIL saying basically 'im pregnant, having an abortion, how u doin?' that really pissed me off. all i can say is if i found out a girl i had a relationship with was pregnant because of me and i got an email saying shes having an abortion i would be pissed off. even if it both people agree to it, the fact that she didn't at least discuss it with him pissed me off.

i dont think it is 'immoral' or 'wrong' to have an abortion, and i dont think people should be pushing those beliefs onto others, on any topic. sure i think having a baby would be great and an important step in your life but if the couple (or single!) dont feel its the right time or they/she couldnt support a child then i dont see why they cant decide to have an abortion. of course it would be sad and you would probably feel horrible for a while but you would know that you made the right choice under the circumstances you are in.

lol i stopped reading after a few frames!
sold baby ears for $75 from an abortion??? wtf????

Posted by niteshayde on Nov-26-2002 00:42:

i am pro-choice. i have always been. it is unlikely as well that abortion will be used by ppl as a form of birth control as it can be costly (depending on what country you're in) and is generally something not very fun to go through. there really is no pt in bringing up a child into this world if you cannot provide the proper care, attention, stability and love. as to how late one should be able to have an abortion...well, i think what the rules are now regarding the timing of abortions is just fine. oddly enuf, the issue of immorality doesn't bother me much...
