I believe Having an abortion is wrong but I also believe is your choice

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think anyone has the right to tell someone what to do with their bodies. I was offered to abort my child because the tests showed that there were some abnormalities. I was afraid but I had faith in God and that he would decide. I gave birth and yes my son has a condition that will effect him for the rest of his life but he is such a vibrant part of our family. His personality, his joy, his life had to be allowed. I’m so glad I stayed true to my beliefs. Again those are my beliefs. It’s up to others to determine and deem what they feel is right. Guess what...that’s between them and God. Not my job to judge.

Alright guys, its been fun. Thank you to everyone that commented, I really enjoyed this chat, my teacher should be very pleased about this project. Although Im closing the chat, this debate will go on. Dont be afraid to continue to talk about this topic with your peers. Theres nothing like a good debate amongst civil individuals

# data[].attributes.body
I am Pro-choice, but not Pro-abortion.  Every woman should have the right to choose what is best for her body and her life.  Although I may not support abortion in itself, I support women who may choose it.  No judgement here.

# data[].attributes.body
I can't make this decision for anyone but myself, so Keep Abortion Legal.

# data[].attributes.body
Thats one way to look at it, babies have potential to be great like everyone else, why stifle it?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm pro life. Killing a baby is wrong. Regardless of how the baby was conceived, it's still a baby. How many teachers, presidents, lawyers, etc... have we "killed" due to an abortion?
Unless you were raped, if you have to have an abortion that means you were not responsibility. So again I ask, why should innocent babies suffer because of one's irresponsibility? That's crazy.

# data[].attributes.body
A women should be able to choose what she wants with her body!

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in pro choice ! a women only knows if she’s ready to bear and raise a child! I also think if you take away the choice, a lot of children will be neglected by their mothers if she did not want to have a child to begin with

# data[].attributes.body
Agreed!

# data[].attributes.body
Son you are doing a great job answering these questions

# data[].attributes.body
I believe it’s a decision that should be carefully thought about regardless of how you got pregnant. I truly believe that when rape or molestation is involved you have every right to consider abortion but again even with that you must be prepared to live with that decision in addition to the violation against you. Your body, your choice!!

# data[].attributes.body
I’m 90% pro life. The other 10% is if someone gets raped or anything or health reasons in that nature. I feel as though, if you willingly laid down with someone and ended up getting pregnant, you should have the baby. If any of the 2 reasons above that I stated, then I do understand why people are Pro a choice. But me personally, I’m Pro life. But I do understand different/unfortunate circumstances

# data[].attributes.body
yes most people dont consider the emotional baggage that comes with an abortion thats why I say if a woman wants to have one she should be able to, its her body, and her mind that is involved

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you I was completely Pro Life but after reading the comments I'm also 90/10.

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve always been against abortion, and there wouldn’t be any unwanted pregnancies if people practiced safe sex.

# data[].attributes.body
I say it’s the woman’s choice. Why force her to keep a child she can’t or won’t properly take care of during and after pregnancy.

# data[].attributes.body
But, like stated before what if a woman had been raped and got pregnant, she shouldnt have to carry that baby to term if she doesnt want to.

# data[].attributes.body
Come on, this is the time to speak for your side this chat will close at 7:00 pm

# data[].attributes.body
Me myself I hate abortion

# data[].attributes.body
Why?

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for commenting, I really appreciate it

# data[].attributes.body
And almost none of them are 100% effective

# data[].attributes.body
Never put yourself in situations that you know your not able to handle, it’s alot of ways to prevent pregnancies.

# data[].attributes.body
I just believe that all actions should be considered before you decide to have sex.

# data[].attributes.body
act

# data[].attributes.body
Since life begins at conception, abortion is akin to murder as it is the cat of taking human life. Abortion is in direct defiance of the commonly accepted idea of the sanctity of human life.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank You Davion for opening up a discussion for this very sensitive subject! !#great discussion ##genesee.st#

# data[].attributes.body
Hell the world over populated

# data[].attributes.body
I think u should be able to choose life the same way u get to choose to have sex

# data[].attributes.body
I’m pro choice

# data[].attributes.body
You dont use abortion, its an emotional process, trust me the woman hurts more than you think, but sometimes its what she believes is right

# data[].attributes.body
Im pro choice!! I feel as though you should be able to make your own decision based on circumstantial situations

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like everyone should make their own decisions and have the right to... it shouldn’t be taken from u from anyone...

# data[].attributes.body
I’m pro choice.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree that it is an individual matter, why should the government be a factor in someones personal life.

# data[].attributes.body
Thia is a very sensitive matter and must be dealt with individually.

# data[].attributes.body
But people are using it as birth control though. How do we stop that?

# data[].attributes.body
I believe it’s wrong. Especially for the reason if you’re young of age or don’t believe you can take care of the child. Have the baby and at least give it up to a family with stable living conditions of an child so the baby can live it’s life. All lives are valued.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Abortion is an insult to all women 2. Pregnancy is empowering, abortion is not. 3. Women are not sexual objects. 4.  The first feminist were pro-life. 5. Abortion is an act of discrimination. 6. Women are independent, and we worked hard to gain that independence. 7. Abortion is linked to mental illness 8. Pro-life organizations provide true support. 9. Abortion is linked to breast cancer. 10. Abortion is dangerous to women's health.   Choose your poison.

# data[].attributes.body
Im sorry but I would like some facts to back that whole paragraph up

# data[].attributes.body
It definitely was but who is to say that the mom won’t treat the child wrong because of the act

# data[].attributes.body
I agree,  a woman should have the right to choose! It's her body,  she should decide! Point! Blank! Period!!!

# data[].attributes.body
The sin was in the “act” not the child. Children are blessings. Although rape is not the will of God his plan was written way before it happened.

# data[].attributes.body
When people raped it’s not in the will of God

# data[].attributes.body
Yes Davion I agree

# data[].attributes.body
I really don’t know but I just know I couldn’t kill a blessing that was given to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Following this religious theme, how is rape in gods plan but not the abortion that can or cannot follow?

# data[].attributes.body
Ok those I would understand

# data[].attributes.body
I feel every woman should have the right to choose.

# data[].attributes.body
Would u still feel the same

# data[].attributes.body
Then of course there are exceptions to the rule but all these abortions are not a result of rape. That’s the only reasoning I see a lot of you giving what else other than rape??? Please tell me!

# data[].attributes.body
What if you were raped and pregnant

# data[].attributes.body
#Prolife let these babies live. What if your mom aborted you?

# data[].attributes.body
Point Blank Period .... ok and you are right but you LIVE WITH THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! I have friends that are tormented to this day by that ONE decision and it they had a chance to do it over, they would have had their child because guess what, right now they can't have any!

# data[].attributes.body
incest, health endangerment

# data[].attributes.body
This is good

# data[].attributes.body
Why does the circumstance change your views, I'm curious. It seems like when someone is pro-choice they are hard pro-choice but the pro-lifers tend to waiver

# data[].attributes.body
There are so many women that are so desperate to have just one child but then you have all these careless women aborting multiple. Smh

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone makes mistakes and until you’re put in that situation you should not speak on it.  If I had not gotten one I would have been kicked out of my house at the age of 17.

# data[].attributes.body
I am starting to see the different sides by reading all of your post. I was so against abortion but now considering the different circumstances I see why some do it. I do still disagree with it being using as birth control.  Abortion are so harsh on y our body :(

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you guys for sharing your personal stories, the users are all anonymous but it still means something to me

# data[].attributes.body
Pro-choice: simply because women are put in unfortunate circumstances and are forced to have babies. Like rape victims and women who are in abusive relationships

# data[].attributes.body
I’m against abortions. However, I know there are certain circumstances where abortions may have to be an option. Ex: rape

# data[].attributes.body
He was giving her babies but she decided to get rid of them. There should be a law against this. I feel so bad about all the innocent lives due to the mother.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes 0!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Then again I say if religion is such a big factor why not let the abortion be between the woman and god. He'll let her have babies when shes good and ready, hes GOD

# data[].attributes.body
Well you do what you what with your body then and when you what to have kids for real ask the doctor how you have compromised your pregnancy due to your numerous abortions! Our bodies are not made for that! god put us here to be fruitful and multiply

# data[].attributes.body
I do what I want with my body and I honestly could care less what anyone has to say because I’m the one who will have to take care of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I do think so too sometimes

# data[].attributes.body
It?????? That's a life not an it!!! That is all apart of being responsible!

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like abortion is wrong but, I also don't feel like the government should be able to make that decision for a woman. If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant she shouldn't be forced to go through with the pregnancy. Also if the pregnancy is a life threatening situation for the mother, then she should be given the chioce to continue the pregnacy or terminate. There are just so many situations that can happen where a woman feel that she has to choose the option to abort a pregnancy. I can't judge a person for doing so BUT, I feel that if you know that you don't want a child then you should do everything in your power to prevent getting pregnant and yes I know that all birth control is not 100% but that is a risk you take when you decide to have sex. You can give the child up for adoption because there are so many women who want kids but are unable to have them.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m pro choice

# data[].attributes.body
Should there be a limit on the number of abortions one can recieve?

# data[].attributes.body
Parent

# data[].attributes.body
I'm pro choice even though I think it's wrong. No one should be able to tell another person what to do with their bodies.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes people use it as birth control

# data[].attributes.body
Or if the patent is on drugs and prostitution.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro choice because a person could be raped by someone they don’t even know and to raise a child under such circumstances could be stressful.Also some people just aren’t financially stable to support a child therefore they should have the option to terminate the pregnancy early enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Does anyone feel like abortion is over utilized, as a form of birth control?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm Pro-Choice because people should be able to do whatever they choose. If someone has a unwanted pregnancy and they are not prepared to care for the child it should be aborted! If it is a pregnancy due to rape or harm then it definitely should be aborted . If both parents are not in agreement for the child to be born it's better to not bring a child into an environment that he or she will not be love or taken care of and love to the fullest by both parents. I don't think adoration should continually be used as birth control but in certain situation it's recommended.

# data[].attributes.body
It's not the violent act you think. It's the teacher, the principal, the uncle coaching  your child into this life.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone should be allowed to make their own choices concerning their health.

# data[].attributes.body
Child rape happens often.

# data[].attributes.body
Pro choice

# data[].attributes.body
Listen I just got to be real! I remember when you needed a prescription for PLAN B (the morning after pill) then it was behind the counter, the out on the isle and NOW at the drugstores beside colleges, that s*&t is RIGHT BESIDE THE CASH REGISTER and the manager says the they can't keep them in the store! Yall don't see nothing wrong with that!? These students and others are using this pill as birth control --- o oh but I guess that pill ISN'T an abortion tho..  smh whatever!! #wearefailingouryouth #havefailed #teachingstartsATHOME

# data[].attributes.body
If you guys continue to put religion in this then shouldnt an abortion between the woman herself and god?

# data[].attributes.body
why should the government be able to tell a woman what to do with her own body?

# data[].attributes.body
People preaching sin  and abstinence need to face real life. Everyone isn't saved.

# data[].attributes.body
But on the other hand if a mother is raped and have the child and that father is in prison that may make life a lot harder for that child.

# data[].attributes.body
Were there regrets? Yes. The first time.  The next time, my mind was made up. No regrets.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think people should used it for birth control

# data[].attributes.body
thanks for sharing your story

# data[].attributes.body
The second time, I had been pregnant six times, this was number seven, and it was my way out. I took it and never looked back.

# data[].attributes.body
Abstinence!??? On what planet ? LOL  People today are humpin like rabbits and they are starting earlier and earlier. Instead of preaching abstinence you BETTER throw some SAFE SEX options in there!!!  Now who want to come for me on that!?

# data[].attributes.body
That's why it's up to a woman

# data[].attributes.body
Ppl are ppl

# data[].attributes.body
Right the government shouldn't get in the way

# data[].attributes.body
The stigma of shame

# data[].attributes.body
Abstinence
