hmm old topic but i wanted to give my opinion. I believe abortion is a good thing to have around. I mean sure you are taking a life, but its better to end it early then later. Look at it this way. Woman is raped and gets pregnant why should she keep the child? They have been tramatized(sp?) enough so why keep the kid as a bad memory. The next thing is when some skanky slut that sleeps with every guy gets pregnant. Sure she should keep the baby. Then you have to look at it this way..Baby is born...she kills it and we have another dumpster baby or something, why should that have to happen, let her get an abortion. or the other scenario the girl has the baby, isnt ready for it, ignores it and treats it like shit. So kid isnt raised right, not even parents ready for kids are ready lots of times. They let there kids do whatever, they are spoiled little pieces of shit that do whatever because their parent wont tell them no. The other reason I believe in abortion is if you find out your child might be retarded or have some serious isssues with health. There is no point in letting the child have to go on. I mean its difficult for the parents and the kid can't live a normal life. Also taking care of the child might cost the parents to much $$ and they shouldnt have to live with the burden of having to take care of a retarded child. The final one is the parent thats not ready and isnt a raging slut/whore. If they arent ready for the child they have the choice to choose whether they keep the child or have an abortion. I look at life this way. All these people are angry and dont agree with stem cell research. Look at it this way. We kill a young calf to eat veal. We do studies on animals and use them in labs. Not every person except for stupid ass vegetarians or animal freaks get upset over that. So what makes a human life more important then the life of an animal? Nothing we are both animals. So why get upset over abortions? If you dont like abortions, then do this. Don't eat anything made with chicken eggs, doh, there goes most deserts and breakfast. Quit eating meat and animal bi products.. If you think all life deserves a chance then don't eat the animals. Enough said. Everyone has a choice, it might not be the right choice but let me ask you this again, what is worse..a fetus being removed from a woman's body? or a mother/father killing a 9 month + old born child that went through the whole pregnancy? I know you might say well they are both murder, but in the end what is worse?
