I am pro-choice. I believe that (up to a certain point in development of the foetus) the woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy. Obviously there are exceptions, for example if the woman had unsafe sex knowing full well that there was a high chance of her getting pregnant but not doing anything about it. In this case, it is entirely her fault and she should have been more responsible. But for women who got pregnant by accident e.g. the condom broke or she was raped etc. then i strongly believe that she has the right, as it is her body after all, to end the pregnancy. If she does not feel ready for a baby and feels she wouldn't be able to look after it or if it would have a negative impact on her own life (for example, she was still at school and it would affect her school work) then she has every right to have an abortion.

And for the people who say even if she was raped, she should still have the baby and give it up for adoption: are you stupid or something? I think you are missing the fact that a baby doesn't just pop out. The woman has to bear this baby for 9 months and then shove it out of her small vagina which is agonizing pain and she may well be in hospital for a while. Think how this could affect a 16 year old girl. What about it she was still at school? Surely she would get bullied or picked on. What if she had a really active job that required moving around a lot. That would be hard if she was heavily pregnant and having time off her job would affect the amount of money she earned which she would need for a good quality of life.

I believe that if abortion were to be banned, then for the man who got the woman pregnant, it should be illegal for him to leave her during or just after the pregnancy. Because if a woman can't back out of a pregnancy, a man should not be able to either.

And for all you pro-lifers saying 'I'm thinking about the life of the child.' Yeah, well so am I. I'm thinking about the life if the child who got raped and is heavily pregnant and has been disowned by her parents and is also suffering abuse from her peers. That girl is alive, she is a human being and I'm sorry if this offends but I believe that her life is more important than the life of something that hasn't even been born yet or developed yet. Her life is more important that the life of something that is not even alive yet.

Also, the argument, 'Think about what that child that was aborted could of achieved. It could be the person who finds a cure for cancer.' Well yeah sure it could be but that't not likely if it was born to someone who is struggling with money difficulties etc. and does't even have the money to get their child a decent education but that wasn't allowed to abort the child. There is also the possibility that it turns into narrow minded pro-lifer who doesn't think about the rights that a woman should have to her own body.

Overall, i think the solution is not to ban abortion but you don't agree with it, then don't get one. Simple as that. Let others live their life how they choose.

Love is love, simple as that. To love someone is not wrong.

No. People can be whatever religion they want to be but they shouldn't try to convert others. Sure, people can voice their opinions and that's all well and good but when they start shoving their religion down other people's throats and telling them that they will go to hell if they don't believe in this or that, then it just isn't right. From what I've seen in the news etc. it seems that religion is causing more harm than good in modern society and more and more violence and hate crimes are happening each day. If only people could just stick to their own religion and be accepting of other people's religions too instead of making into some huge competition to try and prove that their religion is right, then the world would be a much more peaceful place.

There is already enough crap on the internet making people believe that they are somehow living their life wrong. People don't this on top of all the other advertisements etc.
