A life is a terrible thing to waste, or so we have all been since we were young. Suicide is only done by those who have suffered unimaginable emotional pain, and murder is a crime worthy of capital punishment (at least according to law anyway). So why I ask, are thousands of babies killed every year as if they are careless pieces of trash in our way? I know women have the right of choice, and that's the main argument for abortion, but why do so many choose to let this gift inside them die without a chance?
Personally I don't think abortion should be illegal because if people are going to do it I'd rather it be safely under a doctor's supervision rather than in some unsafe way without proper sanitation. But just because you are allowed to do it, doesn't mean you should. There are special circumstances, people say, when a teenager gets pregnant , or someone who clearly isn't stable enough either mentally or economically to have a child of their own. But why kill it?
Do you have any idea how many couples out there would give anything in the world to have a child of their own but sadly enough cannot conceive. Anyone willing to kill their unborn child over giving it up for adoption is killing those couple's chance at parenthood. They are killing their child's chance to grow and learn and become what ever they were intended to be.
Abortion is all about choice, please choose to give babies a chance. We already have so much crime and murder in the world already with the war and violence and terrorism, do we really have to kill innocent children as well?
A xygote is not a "child", it is a bunch of cells, it has no brain and no heart and no self-awareness. Calling it a "child" is like comparing the killing of a five-year-old to the swatting of a mosquito.
There are millions of children who desperately need to be adopted. I think it's sickening to add even more children to those unwanted.

Because they want to be good mothers. The first step in being a good mother is knowing when you're ready to have a child (or not).
We don't encourage people who don't want dogs to adopt them anyway, just to get them out of shelters. We don't think it's responsible or kind for unprepared, ignorant, uninterested people to adopt pets they aren't willing to properly care for. We don't hold up dog and cat hoarders as paragons of virtue and responsibility and godliness. So why should we do it with children?
It's not responsible or kind to have children you don't want. It's not good or moral to have kids you're not prepared to raise properly. It's wrong and irresponsible and people shouldn't do it. Abortion is better than unwanted birth.
Do you have any idea how many couples out there would give anything in the world to have a child of their own but sadly enough cannot conceive.
Do you have any idea how many adoptable children are languishing in foster care, just waiting for a family to love them? More than 100,000.

Most women can't bring themselves to give up a baby. It is far more traumatic than an abortion. When a woman gives birth, she is flooded with hormones that make her fall in love with her newborn. For many women, giving up a baby feels as horrible as losing a child in the woods.
It's easier to abort an unwanted pregnancy, because then no child is created. And it's not "killing someone's chance at parenthood," because nobody is entitled to a family at my personal expense.

Not all of us believe that a single cell qualifies as a child. As far as I'm concerned, there's no child until live birth.
"It's easier to abort an unwanted pregnancy, because then no child is created."
if it was all about what the easier thing to do was then, ya clearly abortion is the easy way out but that still doesn't make it right.
I thank you for your opinion but that one particular defense on your part disturbed me. Life isn't meant to be easy, if it was this sight and all these opinions wouldn't exist. Giving birth is one of the hardest things for anyone to ever do, but it can also be one of the most rewarding miracles ever. I certainly don't believe everyone is made to be a parent, just in my personal opinion you need to very very safe if you don't want to have a child and still plan to have sex because once someone is pregnant, they have a life within them, even if it is just a few cells, then a heart beat, then fingers, then a child. All in all life is being created within you and I know it's debated a lot but I believe the second something begins to form, it's a life and thus it's cruel to kill this unborn child before they have a chance to experience any part of life.
A wise man once said "I don't know ask a girl."

Doesn't make it wrong, either. I don't think there's anything wrong with aborting an unwanted pregnancy. Not all pregnancies are meant to go to term.
Life isn't meant to be easy
Who died and made you God? What qualifications do you have to determine the meaning of life for everyone else in the world?
Giving birth is one of the hardest things for anyone to ever do, but it can also be one of the most rewarding miracles ever.
Or it can be the most horrific and traumatizing experience of your life. It all depends on whether you want to go through it or not. Who are you to tell others to go through that when they don't want to? Why can't you just let your personal opinion guide your own behavior, and leave everyone else alone?

Not everyone believes as you do. I have given birth, and I do not believe a child exists until birth.
"Playing it safe" is not as easy as you think. A woman is fertile from about age 15 to 45. That's thirty years. It only takes nine months to have one baby. In five years, a woman can have five babies (or more if she has twins), and still have 25 more years of unwanted fertility ahead of her. Do you honestly expect grown, married women to abstain until menopause?
If she takes the pill, it has a 1% yearly failure rate, which means she has a 25% chance of experiencing an unwanted pregnancy over the course of 25 years. That's one in four. Even if she uses the pill perfectly for those 25 years, she's still got a one in four chance of getting pregnant accidentally at some point. And her chances of getting pregnant are even greater if she's not perfect, like most of us.
I know it's debated a lot but I believe the second something begins to form, it's a life and thus it's cruel to kill this unborn child before they have a chance to experience any part of life.
I disagree completely. Something like 80% of fertilized eggs don't make it to birth. A fertilized egg is more like a seed than a baby. To grow this seed in to a baby, it takes a woman nine long, hard months of pregnancy. When a baby survives birth, it proves that is finally a separate human being in its own right.
I'm completely against it 110%. Keep your legs together if you don't want kids. people throw a fit if we kill a tree, but no one cares if we end the life of an unborn child?! I am completely shocked by this!!.. ever thought maybe that child could have grown up to find the cure for cancer, aids, the common cold, the flu, or made a car to run off water!?! Our country is suffering greatly because of our sinful actions. From the moment... understand the MOMENT the child is conceived, It's a life! Believe what you will, but that Child was a gift from God and the one who ends that life will suffer greatly for the selfishness of the heart.
Yep. Next time you're raped, ladies, just keep those legs crossed.

Oh and I'm sure all abortions that occur are by women that have been raped?!? Doubt it!
But it is one of the reasons it needs to remain a legal option.
