That's a very interesting post that has very little to do with mine that you chose to quote.

I'd have to say, as with any abortion. It's up to the person who's carrying the baby.

If the person feels they can handle taking care of said baby, they should go along with it, if they can't, they should abort if that's what they feel like doing. They could always surrender the baby but that would probably be like screwing the baby over so it might not be the greatest idea ever.

Your posts ignore so many things and fail to grasp very simple concepts. "People get abortions because they're lazy/selfish/etc." Rapes, risk to the mother, parents who have neither the financial means nor parental skills necessary to support said child. Your posts accuse others of being selfish but fail to look outside your own selfish world view.

Never mind the fact that the new parent(s) decided to pleasure themselves with the very real likelihood of pregnancy (and a new life) coming along with it.

He's talking about a majority of abortions, which I think I can safely say don't include Rape or danger to mother and child. Your quote isn't a direct quote, so it's not helping you dismiss his argument. He seems to have a differing opinion on financial means, so I wont argue that.

As for the "just give it up to adoption agency things"for fiances it's not so easy. Not everyone can afford to take the time off work, can afford to wreck their health, can afford the new clothes, the extra food, the hospital bills. And then the hassle of arranging adoptions and things.

Just wanted to say the finances are not so easy as is being made out. My opinion is that people shouldn't be allowed to have children pretty much at all so I probably don't have much to add on this issue.

Children are not adopted rapidly. I'm not sure where you heard that, but putting a child up for adoption isn't exactly selfless & noble either. You're not making sure that child gets a good home, you send the "your parents didn't want you" message, & honestly, putting the baby up for adoption because one feels it's somehow "wrong" to abort just comes across as satisfying one's own ego.

Also, I think that people should be responsible during sex, but I don't like the "deal with the consequences" mentality that goes with pregnancy. Birth control is not 100% effective. Why should we penalize the woman if it fails? Two words: Vaginal. Tearing. I don't know about you, but the possibility that my genitals would rip ALONE would be enough to make me not want to carry a fetus to term, if I was a woman.

So, getting to the point, I would say that the reason a woman gets an abortion is entirely irrelevant. Is it really "selfish" to want to have control of your own body? As for wanting to do what's best for the child, there's the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." It's really a personal judgment call. You can say that the child could live a perfectly fulfilling life, but they could also...not. There's no way to know, you're just making a prediction based on the little information that you have.

How would society maintain its rich white guy dominance if we let women control their own bodies! Such a situation would lead to skipping on the streets, singing about bluebirds and frilly dresses before leading to total societal collapse. Unthinkable!

Killing a living person usually for the sake of personal convenience: this is what most abortions are.

Really? I thought most abortions happened before there was anything with even a vague human form or singular identity involved.

I wish I had been aborted. I'll spare the details as to why I feel this way, but my parents never should have had me.

What? Someone has to feel this way.
