Abortion - Is it right? [Closes 05/02/07]

That is the case. I'm not jokeing. They are only allowed one child. A family in China even left a little girl in the street and she died.

That is true but in a lot of cases that isn't happening. People avoid the laws by moving to the country and stuff where it is harder for the police etc to enforce the rules. A lot of the time, the chinese being poor can't afford abortions anyway.

Depends on the situation, if its 9 monthes into the pregnancy, then obviously not. But if its within the first stages, there is no problem. The baby is no more a living thing than a chair during the first few weeks of development. It doesnt think "Oh no don't kill me", it doesnt have thoughts. It doesnt breathe.

And just "giving it up for adoption" isnt something so simple. There arent lines of people waiting to adopt a child. Many kids grow up without parents because of this.

I like your point about a monster inside you. Would be a tough call.

Babies start to develop a heart at something like 22 weeks and can feel pain and you can have the babie aborted at less that 26 weeks i think so in the four weeks between that the baby can feel the pain but i think before its heart is developed it is sort of ok as it dont suffer.

After a certain period, no but if it's early the yes.

Yeah, we're doing China in mod's.
They throw them in the river, no joke.

I agree with RedStratocas partly, in the early weeks yes, but around the 7-9 month period, no. Like if you were raped, then yeah you should be allowed in the early weeks. But for example if you had unprotected sex. You should let the baby be born and take care of it. If you cannot take care of it, give the child to a family member or friend, or just put it up for adoption.

no. i am against abortion for personal reasons i'm not going to discuss

i only think a woman should be given the choice to have an abortion if she was pregnant by being raped. if you have unprotected sex, you should suffer the consiquences, and not end a life because of your own selfishness.
