    The planet can barely support the number of human beings on it as it is, so what is the point of having a child just so you won't be judged by other people?

    That is maybe where murderers, rapists and molesters come in... not the innocent!!

    Making plans on killing a child... is premeditated murder... short and simple... use birth control and understand this fact... birth control is not 100 percent effective... have a baby when you are ready... better yet have sex... when you are ready to have a baby... I am not going to be politically correct when it comes to abortion... this hurts me dearly to write...

    Honey, you need to do what you feel is right for you. I am very pro-choice, even though I have 5 kids. If I were ever in a situation where I knew I could not afford another child or give 100% to another child, I would consider abortion. Only you know what is best for you and your situation. A lot of woman go through this everyday, and there are many support groups out there to help you through it, if that is what you decide. Good luck to you Hun!!

    Why is killing sperm and eggs (birth control) any different to abortion? To me the distinction between a potential life and life is 4 to 6 months after conception. To some people it's birth to some it's conception and to others (eg Catholics) it's as soon as sperm leaves the body.
    Most people here do not consider birth control murder and would be criticised for making someone feel guilty about using it. I'm not saying abortion should be used as birth control but accidents happen and it's better not to have a child you can't give 100% to.
    We all need to respect that everyone has their own opinion on what constitutes life.

    Murder is the illegal killing of another human being so I'll think you'll find you are incorrect in your definition.

    A baby is a human being. When you can see eyes, nose and a whole body and a heart beat even at 5 weeks. Yes it is human. My defination is quite right.

    My point is it's not illegal therefore not murder.

    Its still illegal in some places. Just because it is not illegal in others does not make it right.

    Yes I agree that it being legal does not make it right but you not agreeing with it does not make it wrong.
    Are you so narrowminded that you cannot respect anybody else's opinion?

    OK--First Off this gal ISN'T saying she is pregnant; she is saying that what if she got pregnant should she get an abortion and should she tell her boyfriend about it or just have it done.

    I am Pro-Choice-I feel a woman should have a right to do with her body what she wishes. I feel it should be a mutual decision between the father & mother to have this done. I do not feel abortion should be a form of birth control--but I do feel that it should be available out there if a woman chooses to take this path.

    'nough said.

    I think you have to make a choice that you will be able to live with all your life. For me their was never a right time or had the money to do it. But you know I would never change having my children, making the decision to have them.

    Don't have a abortion alone, this is a time where you should get all the support you can. Your boyfriend would probably much rather go through it with you then have you be alone and scared. If you do decide to have a abortion, just make sure you use protection until you are both financially stable and mentally ready. Good luck on whatever decision you make

    Discuss it with him... that child did not ask to be brought in to this world it's not the baby's fault if I was you and I was pregnant I would have that baby... Think before you do this because if you get rid of the baby now will you be able to have another one a few years down the road!!

    I do not believe in abortion myself, I am a mother of 7 children, and I look into their little eyes how could have never have saw how pretty they are. But yet it is your choice. If you are unable to care for a child maybe someone could be blessed by the best gift of all life. Or maybe a family member can help you until you are ready to care for the little one yourself. If you must have an abortion please be more careful next time for this will be the hardest choice you will have to make. I say let him know. If he loves you he will work with you , and make your choice a lot easier. Good luck, Its your body, your mind , but it's a child soul, that you created.

    That is true so please talk to your man and tell him what is on your mind other wise when you do decide to have a child you might not be able to have one... please talk to him now!! Good luck

    If you want my opinion, abortion is wrong. If you aren't carful about sex and are willing to take that risk, you should have to deal with it. You should be held accountable for your own actions. But that's just my opinion mind you.
