Abortion is fine if a woman does not want to keep the baby. It's her body. She is the one experiencing the pregnancy. Some say the life inside the woman is not hers. Life is sacred. Therefore she has no right to abort it. But the life is inside her body. Besides, life is far from sacred. Everyday, about 25,000 humans die from hunger. Every day. But nobody really cares. A fetus is not even a fully formed human. In the early stages especially, it is just a bunch of cells. Abortion is something that shouldn't be trivialized. But undoubtedly, for the right reasons, there is no moral issue here at all. Side: For

I am 100% pro-abortion for reasons outlined in my previous argument. I have not been disputed and therefore the winning position is pro-choice. Clicking a button to raise a point counter is a shoddy voting method that by no means reflects winning vs losing positions. To summarize, only when you view reincarnation as untrue does abortion mean death. Otherwise it means denying one of many chances to be born. I will support the pro-reincarnation standpoint (prove it wrong I dare you) and say that stopping a rape-baby or a 15 year old mother- baby from having a real chance at life is a crime against humanity perpetrated by fundamental extremists who have nothing better to do than bitch about the lifestyles of others. -If you care about human life so much, protest the war in iraq you ignorant tools spouting off the memes your parents instilled. -A fetus doesn't have the same rights that a fully developed human does, but that doesn't stop religious fanatics and "humanists" from bitching a thousand times louder when it involves a being only arguably alive. -If you view anything with a heart as important, why do you enslave and beat and choke collar and shock collar your pets YOU HYPOCRITICAL MORONS. -If every pro-life woman was raped and impregnated, the female pro-life support would dwindle. Dispute me. Side: For

This whole 'pro-life' bullshit is mostly coming from religious fanatics who have been born and raised to repress women. They never had a chance to form their own independent thoughts because their parents shoved their opinions down their throats when they were too young to understand what was going on. I don't care what gender you are, what I do with my body is none of your business. Stop trying to take away my common human rights and actually do something useful, like EDUCATING OUR SEXUALLY-ACTIVE YOUTH! Side: For
AGREED WITH ARY11 with everything!!!!!!!! Educating our sexually active youth is vital! Perhaps if we actually took the time to properly discuss the consequences of having un-safe sex, then abortion wouldn't even have to be an issue. nonetheless, regardless of the consequence the decision is still the ONE person's. Which is the woman deciding to have/not have the abortion. Side: For

There is a reason why they sides are called Pro-life vs Pro-Choice. Very few (if any) are for abortion, I happen to be one of them, however, I am for a woman's right to chose. The only argument that Pro-life people have to take away the right of other is based off of their own self-righteousness. Side: PRO-CHOICE

Personally i think that people should have the ability to make there own choice. If people are against abortion then they should simply not have abortions but i dont feel its right for people to take the choice away from those that do want them. The reason i believe the choice for abortion should be there is that its better to abort an unwanted child than have it born into poverty and have it suffer immensely with hunger, etc. Also if an unwanted child is born because abortion wasnt an option. That child grows up without love, care, etc and again brings them into a cruel and punishing world with no love or support system also putting them at risk of depression later in life. It may seem cruel or unfair to abort a child but honestly its far more cruel and unfair to bring a child into a world of poverty, hostility, hatred and other situations and emotions that often surround having an unwanted child. Starvation was mentioned above, Whats more cruel aborting a child (no pain or suffering) or having a child that you cant feed that ends up starving to death (which is one of the most excruciating deaths).

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. Side: For

No one is for abortion. There is no group of people who rejoice in the 'death' of the unborn. It is an ultimatum for everyone. I do not have solid views on the matter, though i do not feel that i should force my opinions upon others. Thusly i am pro-choice, and thusly is the reason for the term. Side: PRO-CHOICE
HELL NO! IF YOU WERE GROWN ENOUGH TO SPREAD YOUR FUCKING LEGS THEN YOU ARE GROWN ENOUGH TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR FUCKING KID! YOU KNOW THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS!!!! KILLING A INNOCENT BABY ISN'T GONNA JUST GO AWAY LIKE A RAINY DAY!!!! YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE GUILT FOREVER!!!!!!! Side: Against

Abortion is WRONG! God created that person for a reason. If your not ready to raise a kid then put it up for adoption so it can be with a good family. Dont murder it! Its wrong. It has a life. If you can have sex then you should be ready for the consequences tht come with it! Side: Against

Abortion is purely subjective. If the woman is having an abortion, clearly she has her reasons. People shouldn't judge others in general. Doesn't even matter if your a 15 year old girl or a 28 year old woman, obviously if they were to choose to abort the child they were not ready to be mothers. As for adopting it out, why would a woman put her self through all the changes and pressure of being pregnant, then not keep the child especially if she knows she is in no way shape or form ready to go through the while experience? However, If that was the main purpose for a woman to get pregnant in the first place, that's a totally different story. How is it murder? It doesn't even truly exist yet. It hasn't been born into the world. If a woman had the baby then got rid of it, that's murder! NOT when it's still inside of her. Side: For
