In the case of rape or incest it seems to me that the morning after pill would be a useful tool in avoiding the truama of worrying about being pregnant after an already truamatic experience. As for using it for birth control? If there are no side effects then why not?

I agree, I understand where J9 is coming from, I just think that they are both forms of birth control, and all though one comes after conception, they both end up doing the same thing...

Very simple. Abortion is a murder of an unborn human being.

I agree with that completely, unfortunately here in some parts of Europe they don't permit it, its against our religion!! Which is abit unfair, if you tell me.

Believe or not its very difficult for women too, from my experience, I had abortion because of baby abnormality , I did not wonted I really regret, but I was really scared , actually I was trying to have a baby... really long time , now you decide how difficult it was

Pro-life.

I have seen many pictures of abortion.

One of them was the abortion of a some weeks only embryo, and you could see the tiny shape of the hand, brrr. Absolutely horrible...

Not to speak of the other forms of abortion, cutting the foetus piece by piece in the womb of the woman, sucking the foetus into a sort of vacuum pump, crushing the head of the foetus into pieces then throw all away Ugh!

All medical procedures are very gory, Unky. Blood and guts and slime... at least you didn't have to smell it.

Surgical procedures as birth control are such a waste of medical facilities. Oophorectomies are more effective and one time shots. Perhaps mandating them with all abortions except in rape and incest cases would settle the debate.

As for the religious question - my vasectomy healed. Apparently I'm supposed to be a Dad. I'm kind of glad about that.

Lol, me too :p

I'm saying that all they do in abortion, I find that inhumane! I don't think that anyone would be given the choice to do that to a fully grown human being...

Oops, I didn't notice. Sorry.

Oops, it was because of usaan... I was wandering through the other members discussion thread and saw this thread... quite interesting with the posts of J_9, Synn, Joe, etc...

Sorry :o

I believe that no-one can comment on abortion until it truly affects you.

I had one 3 months ago.. My reasons are because, even though I was using contraception, it failed me, and I found out too late to take the morning after pill.. I also have a medical condition that means that pregnancy and birth should be planned and considered very carefully before-hand.

So I found out when I was 2 months pregnant and I, my partner and my family helped make the incredibly difficult decision to abort.

You may call me a murderer, that's fine, but I'm afraid that I made a heart wrenching decision and I have to live with that.

I think that it should be legal with parental consent for under 18s, no taxpayer funding and no late-term abortions is my position, middle of the road.

I know this is old but I can't help myself...

If they made abortion illegal there would be a LOT of people deliberately hurting themselves to get rid of the baby.

I think it's a good and bad as I have seen both sides.

A good friend of mine was pregnant when she was 18, she decided to have an abortion as the time was just not right for her to have a child.
Now she is 22 and facing a hysterectomy due to cysts on her ovaries.
She is now kicking herself for aborting that pregnancy.

Not everyone is like that though, an abortion doesn't mean you can't get pregnant down the track when you are ready, she was just very unlucky.

Now another good friend of mine got pregnant when she was 17, she was having twins and both of them were tested positive for a disability (sorry don't know specifics) she decided to abort because she also was not ready for a child, let alone 2 disabled children.

She does regret the decision in a way but she knows she would not have been able to care for them properly in her mental state at the time.
