Hello abortion debate number 9374638382943739393...

I've said this all too many times; fetus is not conscious, no different to killing an ant, own personal choice, blah blah blah...

Read one of the other billion abortion debates for my opinion.

I am for abortion but not if it is late-term, the things I feel that must be allowed is abortion after rape, abortion if the woman is not going to take care of her child, abortion if the woman's life is in danger, abortion if the baby is going to be disabled(if they wish) .

A fetus is NOT a human, just a mass of tissue

Abortion is safer than childbirth

The number of abortions are relatively small

Nobody has the right to impose their morals on others

A woman should be able to control her own body

Abortion must be kept legal, especially for all the rape and incest pregnancies

If abortion is outlawed women will be forced to go to back-alley abortion clinics

Aborting an unwanted fetus reduces the number of abused children

Abortion is a way to prevent more poor families, suffering children, and used as back up when birth control fails.

I don't think anyone who used protection in sex should be saddled with a child. A child is a lot of work, and if you don't want the child then you both suffer for the next eighteen years.

A "thing" inside of a women stomach (cuz we all know that's where the come from) is not a true human being until it comes out into the world. Therefore science should have the ability to complete the task. There is no moral issue here. The problem I and most of you should have is the stupid teenagers who have sex think they have an easy way out. They should have to pay the consequences for their actions. I am still for abortion but there is one big problem I have with it.

abortion should be a womans choice. once a certain time period has passed threw the pregnacny then it should not occur. but why bring a child into the world that someone does not want. just for it to be put in an adoption home to spend the rest of its life knowing that mommmy and daddy didnt want them. in my opinion its way better to prevent the suffering & over population.

For when it has no brainwaves, against once it's brain has developed and begun functioning. Choosing pure choice or pure life is asinine. This issue is not black and white.

Family planning centers reduced 760K abortions in the year 2010, if anything the liberal agenda on the whole issue is more pro-life! What conservatives want to do is ban it all together and defund family planning centers so that women get back ally abortions where not only the baby dies but so does the woman.

Damn, I clicked on here and saw Hades had written on it. Somewhat confused given he hasn't been on in nearly a year..!

If someone is a strict constructionist who interprets the Constitution word for word, the sanction for abortion is given under the Fourteenth Amendment.

The Fourteenth Amendment of our U.S. Constitution defines a citizen “a citizen” at birth. If a woman is carrying a fetus in the womb, the U.S. Constitution does not designate the fetus as “a citizen.” It would take an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to declare a fetus a citizen. You have to be born in order to be recognized as a citizen. Therefore, a woman does have the right to choose. A fetus inside the womb is not designated as a citizen according to the U.S. Constitution so by default is not entitled to life, liberty, or prosperity. You have to be born in order to be endowed with those privileges. To conclude, neither the Federal government nor any of the States can deny a woman the right to choose.

If abortion is murder, abortion would have been terminated years ago due to the cruel and unusual punishment clause under the Eighth Amendment. Again, proof that a fetus is not recognized as a citizen of the United States of America.
