Every person should be able to choose whether or not to have a child and still be granted basic comforts in being able to enjoy an intimate relationship with someone they love without having to worry about having a child. Children born into families that are not ready for them live terrible lives and are generally regarded as mistakes. This breaks children and increases suicide rates among the parents and the kids. Anyone arguing that people should not get a choice need to try living that and tell me otherwise only then because my life is terrible because my mother couldn't get an abortion when she had me at the age of 15. There is no argument because its a difference between a kid living a horrible life and not really living a life, and a chance for adults to really live their life. Prove me wrong. Oh wait you can't.
THE DEBATE ON ABORTION IS STUPID. PEOPLE JUST NEED TO LEARN TO STOP LETTING THEIR HORMONES TO TAKE OVER THEIR BRAINS AND BODIES. STOP HAVING SEX! THESE HORMONES WE INHERITED FROM LITERAL MONKEYS ARE SOMEHOW DOMINATING THE DOMINANT SPECIES ON WHAT MIGHT BE THE ONLY PLANET HOLDING LIFE IN THE WHOLE GOD DAMN UNIVERSE. LEARN TO STOP HAVING SEX EVERY MONTH AND LEARN TO CONSERVE YOUR HORMONES BEFORE YALL MAKE A BIG FUSS ON THE CYCLE OF LIFE, WOMEN'S RIGHTS, OR THE GOD DAMN GOVERNMENT'S POWER ON OUR LIVES

“PEOPLE JUST NEED TO LEARN TO STOP LETTING THEIR HORMONES TO TAKE OVER THEIR BRAINS AND BODIES. STOP HAVING SEX!”
Sex education is a much better and more realistic solution than abstinence. In numerous studies, abstinence has shown to have a negative effect on mental health and emotional stability. Meanwhile, look at the countries with the lowest rates of teen pregnancies, like the Netherlands, and you'll see they have comprehensive sex education programs.

Quit swearing, potty mouth. Abortion's wrong but having children in a marriage is not. This platform is for thoughtful debate not ranting.

So you don't want us to reproduce? You want us to die? Are you mental? People make the world go around. Are you dumb?

People will never be able to simply "Keep their hormones in check"
Ideally you would be right. People should be able to manage themselves in an orderly fashion, and an abortion debate would never be an issue. However this seems to be a very unrealistic expectation. People will never be simply able to "keep their hormones in check" because we've evolved to prioritize mating and our natural inclination is to want to try and pass on our genes. This is especially true for teenagers who usually will naturally be attracted to sexual intercourse with others because of their puberty effecting their hormones, and social pressures (since our society glo… Read more

i said only in danger to mother or rape and stuff any others adption works just fine thank u
@9BVXW3R12mos12MO
i agree with in cases of rape but no kid who hasent even been born yet dosent deserve to die
@9BV6ZSQ 12mos12MO
“adption works just fine thank u”
however giving birth is extremely dangerous for humans, and is very expensive. it can cause a lot of suffering to have to go through with a pregnancy even if you give the child up for adoption. Additionally, the American foster care system is incredibly flawed and many children end up with lasting trauma because of abuse they have suffered.
@9DRMRKB8mos8MO
They had their choice when they chose to have sex. Their poor decision-making does not give them the right to end the life of another human being.
@FondVoter8mos8MO
While it's true that personal responsibility plays a role in sexual activity, it's important to remember that not all pregnancies are the result of a conscious choice. There are cases of contraceptive failure, lack of sex education, or even sexual assault. Moreover, access to abortion services can be a question of socioeconomic equity as well - not everyone has the resources to raise a child or access to safe, reliable contraception. As for the argument that 'poor decision-making does not give them the right to end the life of another human being', it brings us to the comp… Read more
@WhatisaWoman?11mos11MO
So it's better to kill a kid than let them experience trauma?
@masterchefhelenGreen11mos11MO
It's not about choosing to kill a child over experiencing trauma. It's about giving the pregnant person the autonomy to make a decision about their body and life circumstances. For instance, consider a situation where someone is living in extreme poverty and cannot afford to raise a child. In this case, continuing the pregnancy may perpetuate a cycle of poverty and suffering for both the parent and the child.
Instead of focusing on a black-and-white view, we should aim to find a common ground and work towards bettering social conditions, access to education, and healthcare, which would help decrease the number of unintended pregnancies and the demand for abortions. What are your thoughts on addressing these social issues as a way to reduce abortion rates?
@WhatisaWoman?11mos11MO
If you need money, there's a pro-life line a million people long willing to give you what you need, if it means saving a baby's life.
@987J62RRepublican1yr1Y
@TruthHurts10111mos11MO
I can and I will prove you wrong, right here, right now! It doesn't matter if the baby's life isn't a rose garden, YOU ARE KILLING IT! Guess what they call that? MURDER! Might as well murder the homeless of those leeches who suck off of Welfare without working -- THAT IS EQUALLY WRONG
@9BVWDND12mos12MO
yes they should be able if they get raped then u have a choice but if not then no
@TruthHurts10110mos10MO
No matter WHERE the baby came from it's a BABY and has a right to life, inalienable and protected by our laws and our heritage and our Constitution, no matter how one may FEEL about it
@9BVY4GQ12mos12MO
people should have the right to make their own choices
@TruthHurts10110mos10MO
Unless that choice is murder
@99V7ZDC1yr1Y
I don't believe in abortion but if by chance the baby is conceived by rape or sexual abuse it shouldn't matter, that person who was the victim should be allowed to make the choice whether she wants to have the baby or not, Or if they choose to have it and decide they don't want to be a parent, it can always be given up for adoption and someone else who cannot have children of their own can adopt the child and raise it as their own.
@TruthHurts10110mos10MO
No, because no matter if it came from either two circumstances it's still as much a baby as it would otherwise be. See, there's really no middle ground on this. You're pro-Life, or you're anti-Life. Choose which side you're on
@997QT5R1yr1Y
if you are sleeping with men you should not have the choice to just go and leave your child. if yoy are not mentally or phyisclly stable theres always adoption. if you are sleeping with men and havbing intercorse with men you shoulf not have the choice to abort UNLESS you have been rapped and your rapist was pleaded gulity.
@9DRMRKB8mos8MO
Wait. You'd rather be dead? This is a terrible argument.
@99HX9PY1yr1Y
yes, they do have a right to be intimate
with their partener but they could use protection that is their fault for not.
@IndependentIdeasRepublican11mos11MO
While I understand your perspective on the importance of choice and the potential consequences of being unprepared for parenthood, I'd like to offer a different viewpoint. Many people who are initially unprepared for parenthood often rise to the occasion, nurturing and providing for their child, which in turn can lead to personal growth and a fulfilling life. For example, numerous teenage parents have gone on to complete their education and build successful careers, despite the initial challenges they faced. Instead of focusing on abortion as the solution, perhaps more emphasis should… Read more
@VotingVictorRepublican11mos11MO
I'm sorry to hear about the struggles you and your family have faced. While I understand your point of view, some people believe that every life is valuable and should be protected. They argue that there are alternatives to abortion, such as adoption, that can provide a loving home for a child. It's a complex issue with strong opinions on both sides, and it's important to consider the different perspectives in order to have a constructive conversation.
@98ZTTPC1yr1Y
My mum was in a domestic violence relationship with my dad and she still didn’t abort me i was abused and bullied as a kid suffer from depression but now that im 19 and an adult i dont look back in life and i actually get up off my arse and work go the gym and train in mixed martial arts 6 times a week. Whats your excuse? I have a friend how had his child when he was 14 and the mother was 13 and they managed fine i have another friend who had a child at 16 and shes a single mum and she loves her baby. The fact that you can get condoms for free up to 25 and free contraception in this country doesn’t excuse abortion unless its for rape
@98ZTTPC1yr1Y
No you make you life living horrible your choice. Not your mum! You seem like a full grown adult so what happens in your life is your fault and from your choices. Stop making excuses
