Abortion

[Mentor]

I don't think that it should be used as a means of contraception,

I would agree 100% without doubt on that point. useing it knowingly as a method of contraspetion is wrong, it could be justifed if it was a msitakje, but if it wa spalned to be used as then it is deffantly wrong in my opinion

if u look on my first post to this thread, i stated that aswell, i gave an argument for both sides. i agree with mentor, but not 100%. he gives a good point, but the right to a childs life should not be put in the hands of anyone other than the child. there are cases of adoption where the child lives happily in their life, with a family that is not their blood, but that family still loves them with all their heart, no one can predict the future of an unborn child. for all you know, that child could be the next albert einstein (unlikely but u get my piont) there are so many possiable things a child could do. many people who changed the world didn;t have perfect lifes, no one can have a perfect life, but it should not be decided upon by anyone other than the child itself.

so are you going to ask the child while its in the womb?

[Mendonky]

lol, ok then mayb u can't, but my point is that the child still has the right to live, and he does have the right to die aswell, when his or her time has come.

so you're saying that every child should be born before they can be killed?

i see your point about maybe ist the next great leader or person who cures canser thats may be being killed, plus even with teh argument at the very top, if the woman is rapes, its not the childs fault. The problem occurs on when u persiv that the bundle of cells becomes a child, u could go far back enogh to say every sperm is a child, and therefore billions ar being mureded each minute. THe law in the uk allows abortiosn up to a certain point becuse they deem at the point its a child and desereves rights, ratehr than a ball of cells wich isnt realy naything yet, to most people. if u get what im on about

[Mendonky]

every child has trhe right to a life, that is my main point of argument.it is not to us to assume that an unexpected child will have a miserable life, that one child you kill could do wonderful things for the world, or he could not. abortion under cirtain circumstances may be considerable, but not all. i have just debated it with my mither, and mayb underaged - child pregnacies should consider abortion, but women at the age of 20, having abortiins is just wrong.

Underage pregnancies shouldn't be treated any differently, if they're old enough to be taking the risk of gettin pregnant, then they're old enough to face up to it if it does happen.

To be honest i would feel very sad if i grew up knowing i'd been adopted because my parents abandoned me.

But in a weird way would you not also be happy/grateful that you were brought up by people who actually wanted you and could give you a better start than what you're real parents could?

No i don't think i could love my adoption parents fully if i knew that they were'nt my real parents.

[Mendonky]

that is what i am trying to say! as much as the blood related parents may not want the child, at least some have the decency to give the child a chance with a family that WILL love them and WILL take care of them. but not all of these situations are "happily ever after" stories.........

u may not be able to love you adopted parents, but when u think about it, they would have given you the life that your birth parents refused to give you, but felt you had the right to have.
