I think abortion is %100 wrong, no matter the circumstances. The only time I would even consider it being alright is if by having the child the mother would die (for like health reasons or what ever). Even in cases of rape, I don't think abortion is right. The only reason it isn't illegal right now is because the last time they tried that people did sketchy things with hangers and the government would rather cop out than see a bunch of naive girls hurt themselves like that.I think a fetus is a life. Maybe a life not quite yet lived...but a life. To have an abortion is to say that you have the right to decide whether this little creature inside of you has the right to live, just because of a bad choice you made or an unfortunate situation you encountered. Even if it wasn't your fault...should the babe be punished?
Now, what I HATE, is when people get the shirts, stickers, etc...that say stuff like "ABORTION IS HOMICIDE". "ABORTION IS MEAN". "ABORTION IS MURDER". The people who have done this horrible, tragic thing usually feel guilty for the rest of their lives...and they need love. They need to know that their mistake doesn't make them banned from this world. That God will love them. And we need to show them affection, not cruelty. Those harsh phrases just shove their mistakes down their throats and it is a way of attack. It doesn't solve anything. By reading those, no one is going to have an epiphany and decide not to have an abortion. It's not like a pregnant lady walks by and sees a shirt and thinks "Oh...abortion's mean? Well in that case."
Saying stuff like that isn't a protest, it doesn't change things...all it does is offend people and make them feel even worse.
The cure for this isn't hate...it's to love.

I have the exact same point of view
Instead of abortion, you could at least give the child up for adoption...
The entire abortion for the mother's health thing has confused me as well...though I think that it would be okay to take the baby out prematurely and try everything possible to make it survive in case they knew for sure that the mother would die if left in...

Exactly...
The health thing...
Well, my mother wasn't supposed to be able to have any children. Some how she managed to have 4 which lived, one which died prematurely. If she were to ever get pregnant again, the process of it, doctors have said, would almost certainly kill her. Now my Dad has been operated on so this won't happen, but lets say, Heaven forbid, rape?
In a case like that...I might not mind stopping the birthing process to protect the mother from death and horrible pain caused from the death. Plus, on behalf of the family, it would be harder to lose the mother who you have known forever, than an unborn babe. Especially if it's a single mother with kids.
You know?
