Dacy,
I suspect that many of the people who are in favor of a woman's right to make this decision would also support your wish that adoption be an option selected far more often than it is.

I believe abortion should be allowed in certain circumstances, but not necessarily just because they made a mistake. Our first pregnancy was not good. Baby was diagnosed through an amniocentesis with a rare chromosome disease that has a survival rate of 1% at 30 days after birth and 0% at one year. Do we have the baby, knowing he will die in our arms, or have the abortion at 4 months and save the heartache and suffering for us, and perhaps physical pain for the baby? Turns out for us, the decision was made for us as the baby died in utero at 5 months and was surgically removed. But, if the baby hadn't passed, would an abortion be the right thing? I think so.

See, I disagree. IMO, you're playing God at that point. In your case God decided before you did but I just don't think that's our decision to make. Just my opinion.

If the baby had been born what would the suffering level had been?
If the poor baby would have suffered immense pain for a year, then died, then I would probably agree with the abortion... To save the baby from suffering, not the parents...

Pain level is really unknown since there have been so few to survive to 1 year. My point is that in this situation, I think it's reason enough to allow the parents the choice. |

While I respect the opinions of others on this subject, my own personal opinion is that Abortion, or "Murder" as I like to call it, is wrong period, no matter what the situation is.

OK, using your logic here, you would take the life of two precious, and innocent babies?

Well please read the whole thread. In my opinion early term abortions do not deal with babies. To save the life of the mother by ending an early pregnancy should never be prevented. If the fetus / embryo has no feelings or cognitive thought then the mother's life should always come first unless she CHOOSES otherwise.
She - being of legal age and mentally capable, otherwise its a guardians choice.

LIFE begins at the moment of "conception", therefore to take the life of the fetus/embryo is still considered murder as far as I'm concerned. I also respectfully disagree with you that it is the mothers choice here. IMHO, it's God's CHOICE, not the mothers. |

Do you also equate taking a 'morning after pill' with murder?

Lol! Touché.

Yes, because the final result of this drug being the expulsion, and loss of the embryo (human life).

I'll stand behind my beliefs, no worries.
I don't mind if people disagree with me, everyone has a right to his or her own opinion, and I can respect that. |
