If you can't afford a child don't take action your own stupidity as the child fault and murder them

I agree, I think the lack of accountability and responsibility is a major issue. Abortion should not be a way out if you make a stupid mistake. Granted there are many other reasons for getting an abortion, and those can be understandable but making a mistake and killing a baby for it is not ok.

Having children in an unhealthy environment for their childhood is indeed a act of unfairly giving them a chance to recognize themselves.

Yes I completely agree and think that it is ridiculous people think an abortion is basically a form of birth control.

NO, although it is wrong, this is not a positive mindset of abortion and lacks a sense of accountability.

Money is something we all stress, however like I mentioned, it all depends on the circumstance of the mother and how she became pregnant, whether willingly or unwillingly. If it was a fully conscious and lustful or rationalized decision, then abortion should be denied here.

The fetus is not alive. If you can't afford to have a child. don't have the child. if you are already pregnant. end of discussion.

If someone cannot afford a child, then why should you force them to have one? A fetus that cannot survive outside of the womb is not a child. A child has a soul, beliefs, likes and dislikes. A baby can breath. A fetus does not. And abortions are committed when the fetus is just some cells in a women's body.

Many women become pregnant due to circumstances they cannot control such as rape, so it's important to consider that. The baby is also a fetus during this time, so they technically cannot feel anything. Women should have basic rights over their body and the law shouldn't dictate what they do.

There are many different circumstances. It's not always stupidity; it isn't fair to take abortion away from everyone.

Things in life happen and someones life shouldn't be changed over this when the child in the womb isn't alive yet.

Not all situations where abortion is the result are due to the financial hardship of an unwanted pregnancy. That is assuming that every pregnancy has a "healthy and normal" gestational outlook, when the reality is that abnormalities happen frequently and are underreported. The possibility of being in a situation such as this is reason enough to warrant a little more critical thinking with a hardline anti-abortion stance. My family was in a situation like this, where we got to our anatomy scan of a wanted pregnancy and were given a detrimental diagnosis that, if gone to term, would…  Read more be millions of dollars of debt for the surgeries needed in just the first six months of life to give any basic quality of life. That isn't action based on stupidity; that was thoughtful, prayerful, and grief-ridden action based on compassion for the wanted baby and the siblings that were already earth-side.

In certain instances such as rape it is inevitable and not the persons fault. The unborn fetus does not have any emotion, mental, or physical capabilities until the 2nd trimester.

It could be for uncontrolled reasons such as sexual assault or incest. And before a certain time period the child isn't alive and it wouldn’t be killing anyone. It’s also the women’s body and her choice. It also could end up where the mother wouldn’t be able to live through the pregnancy or giving birth.

I believe abortion shouldn't be seen as a bad thing, you did something stupid yes, but we're only human. Doesn't mean you have to kill a baby as well.

No birth certificate, no death certificate. Not every person who get's pregnant should be forced to carry said child. Pregnancy is a toll on the body and mind even more so if the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest.

Not everyone decides to get pregnant on purpose, it can be unexpected like with someone that has fertility issues. The "baby" is a fetus growing inside the mothers womb unable to survive outside of it. It has no thoughts, memory, or emotion to know what is going on, because it is not yet a person. Giving birth to a child and then being forced to raise it in poverty does damage to not only the mother, but the child also.

It isn't murder if it isn't alive. Why would you want to force someone to give birth to a child that they aren't going to be able to take care of. It's their body, their life, and it does not effect your life whatsoever.

People are always going to have sex, and accidents happen. The baby is NOT any more important than a living conscious woman who has found herself in a bad situation. That baby may feel pain.. but does its mind even comprehend the pain? it doesnt know anything. Either way a woman should choose whether or not they want to keep the parasite in their body, until it becomes a living breathing born baby, or abort it. The fetus isnt losing anything besides a life that is not even theirs yet. Abortion also saves lives in some cases.

It depends on the circumstances of the pregnancy, For example, If a child is raped nonconsensually, why should that child have to raise an infant that is the result of some severe trauma?

Not being able to afford a child is not the only reason people abort babies. As I stated in my previous answer, children, ages as young as 9, could get pregnant by being raped. Why should they be forced to keep the baby when they are babies themselves?

what about unconsentual pregnancies? what about accidents that happen even while protected? these are all possible. you preach in a free country, so if someone wants to get knocked up and have an abortion, they should be able to right?

First, I would say that if you want to make an argument, you should know how to write a sentence. Secondly, I think it is always the person carrying the baby's decision whether they want to keep the baby or not. I don't think it should concern anyone else. Why do people care so much about what a woman does with her own body? It's cruel that women have to die because aborting their baby would be considered murder. Why is a fetus more important than a living person's life? Abortion isn't murder. It's a way out for women who have been raped, who are at risk of death…  Read more, and simply can't take care of or can't birth a child. My opinions on abortion are very strong because I hate seeing people being told what to do with their own bodies. This isn't a trial; there is no " innocent until proven guilty", it's a woman's life being compared to a nonliving fetus or an unborn child. Children are forced to give birth when they are raped and are put at risk of dying while giving birth because aborting the baby would be considered "murder"?
I just find it disgusting and embarrassing that humans can genuinely think that way. Women should have a choice of what they want to do to their bodies. Nobody else gets a say in what you do. Grown men telling women what to do with their bodies is disgusting. A woman was dying and was denied what she needed to survive because it would mean aborting her baby. Adriana Smith was declared brain-dead and was left on life support for three months just so she could give birth to her baby. Even when a woman has died, she is still forced to carry her baby. Is that really the fate someone should have to live? This shouldn't even be a debate; this should just be a simple right that a woman should have. If you think otherwise, then you should think again.

my body my choice. if the child was born they would suffer from the fact that i cant afford to provide for them.

the child will ultimately suffer in the end not being able to be cared for properly because of lack of resources or if put up for adoption will suffer in foster care for however long waiting to get adopted

I don't have a counter. I agree with the statement, it isn't the babies fault. Although, there are certain circumstances where the individual was a victim of rape and I can understand wanting to terminate a baby you didn't agree to have.

I would trust people to make their own medical decisions. Not forcing pregnancy as punishment for sex.
Most pro-choice people don’t see this as punishment or murder. I see it as a complex medical and personal decision that should be made by the pregnant person and their doctor, not the government.

If you cannot afford to have a baby, it's okay to have an abortion. In this economy, everything is expensive.

Abortion should always be your choice, it's your body. Your body your choice what I always stand on.

In many cases of abortion the concieved baby was given to the mother by force of an act of rape and sexual assault rather than a mistake conceiving on their own. It is not morally right to make a woman carry a baby of an abuser, and then blame the mother for this cause. The alleged baby does not have an actively functioning brain and therefore cannot process the supposed grief the question is imposing on it nor the "death" it would be given from the abortion. Fetuses do not feel anything, the mother does.
