views on abortion

I need to know people opinion on abortion because it is an option for me but I'm not sure if it's the best option HELP

Hi, I do want to make it clear that this is a forum in which we support choice of women, no matter what it may be.  Perhaps this wasn't the right forum for the question just soliciting opinions to be placed.  But I do want all to know that only supportive posts will be allowed.

Abortion, adoption and keeping a baby are all a good choice if it is the right choice for a woman.  Her body, she decides.  And we are here to support her no matter what decision she makes.  We are lucky to live in a country in which women have choices!

Every woman has to do what is best for them.  And for some, abortion is the best option.  Luck to the poster in making this decision.

I think abortion is an option only when the pregnancy is threatening the woman's life,,since you are not sure if you are to keep or abort I would advice you to keep the baby, there is a joy that goes with motherhood, then if you think you can't raise the baby then you give the baby up for adoption, you won't regret it,

Thank you.

We are here to support women no matter the choice and abortion is one of the legal options a woman has.  For that, I am personally thankful.

Let's give positive support.  thank you

I think it really depends on the woman.  Abortion is a very good option for some who do not wish to have a baby or go through a pregnancy.  I'm so glad it is legal and something women can consider when a pregnancy happens that is unwanted.  

It's very personal and there is no judgment here.  I know women who feel it was the best choice for them at the time they were pregnant.  So, you just need to think about how YOU feel about it and go from there.

Abortion works out well. Adoption is something else to consider when you don't mind going through a pregnancy, giving birth and then allowing another couple the gift of raising a baby.  It can be a win win for all when adoption is chosen.  And then one can also keep the baby.  Babies are wonderful but I agree that a women should be in the right circumstance before signing on for raising a baby.  It's expensive and time consuming.  LOL  It's the best thing I've ever done----  but not until I had kids did I realize the work that goes into parenthood.  Lots to consider---  who watches baby while you work, are you willing to basically give up most of your social life as spare time is then spent with your child, health insurance, housing, etc.  make a list of what you have to consider if you were to keep the child.  make a list for ALL of your options and pick the one that works best for you.  peace and luck

Hi kgreena,
When I got a surprise pregnancy, the best advice someone gave me was this: If you know you can do this (have an abortion), and that it will never come back to haunt you, then you can do it, but if you are not 100% sure you'll never regret it, choose another option.  You don't want to be dealing with this later on in your life. You want whatever you do, to solve this "problem", not cause you another one down the road. Hope this helps.

I don't believe in abortions bc I believe every life deserves a chance at life but this is a decision you only you can make.

Honestly you are probably going to get a lot of negative responses on here. But personally I feel its your choice.

I dont think it is. I was pregnant last year and was gonna get an abortion but I didnt. I decided to keep it and then ended up having a miscarriage on mothers day. I am currently 7 weeks and 4 days. Consider your baby a blessing because not every woman can have a baby. Remember if you dont think your ready adoption is always another solution
