want your opinions!

Ok ladies, I would like to know your opinions on abortion..I myself would never consider one (unless it is a critical medical reason), but my Bestfriend is telling me she wants to have one. I kinda don't know what to say to her, other than do what's best for her, her boyfriend, and her 2 yr old. But I'm curious on how you ladies feel about abortion.

I've had an abortion. I don't agree with it as birth control but 4 years ago i got raped repeatedly by a family friend whom was supposed to be trustworthy. I fell pregnant & couldnt cope. Everyone is different & personally if you aren't 100% ready to have a child why not look at adoption instead of abortion. Its not right for everyone but its how the person feels xx

I agree with all these mothers. I got pregnant with my daughter at 15 and she's now 5 and I'm pregnant with my second baby girl and could never imagine taking my child's life because I didn't want to take care of another child or didnt think I could afford it. We are struggling as it is. But that's why your Kids come first. Abortion is not a option in my mind. Unless your raped. No disrespect ment either.

Hi C, Theres a lot of against, and some for and some between, but please remember its her life, her body and ultimately her choice, nobody has the right to try and persuade her differently.
Look we all love our children, but would you try and stop them having one, if so your so wrong, as any body here is, if you think I'm wrong just go back and reread, her life, her body and her choice, end.
Good Luck

Such a personal decision.  I think it is often cruel to bring a child into situations that are less than ideal.  So many are ill equipped to provide for babies or care for them.  I would absolutely prefer a woman go for adoption in that situation but also think it unfair to expect anyone to carry a baby if it is not what they desire.  

So, I think that it is a choice that women make for a variety of reasons and that should be accepted.  Good luck to your friend.

I am pro-choice.  What I'm against is people having children that they are completely not ready for that then live off the tax others pay. A lot of people are saying people should keep their babies if they are stupid enough to get pregnant. The problem with this is that the people being punished are the baby - who has an unprepared mum, and the taxpayer - who is paying for someone's stupidity. If anyone can go through the heartbreak of abortion because they know they can't treat that baby how it deserves, who can say they are wrong?
