If you don't want the child then there a high chance that you can't raise it.

Might as well throw my thoughts. 

I guess it depends on the situation.

If a teenager gets pregnant 'by mistake' (with a guy she cares and maybe loves) and wants to get an abortion, then I'm against it. If neither the teenager nor the family want the baby, give it for adoption.

If the baby comes from a rape, then the woman has the right to get an abortion. JWeinCom basically explains my thoughts exactly.

I'm also in favor from a medical standpoint, if the woman's life if in danger, an abortion is completely valid.

Bringing a child into this world when there are complications like teen pregnancy, rape, parental inestability and other factors that could pretty much screw up the childs upbringing should be definetly be considered to be aborted. cuz is not only the child that suffers growing up, but the parents or single parent that maybe cant afford to raise a child, maybe the parents have a deseas and will die in a few years and the child will be left alone, or the parents going to jail for years but the woman is pregnant.

There are to many variables that could ruin a childs life and the parents, there are times when is better to not have the child.

"I dont want to kill the baby, whatever Ill just give it for adoption". Giving a kid away is not as easy as some like to think. We have evolved to love our kids unconditionally and giving a kid away as soon as its born is an unbelievable pain and they will regret it their entire life, always thinking of that child somewhere, if is ok, healthy, happy, good adoptive parents, if it was adopted at all. The kid could pass its entire life going from foster home to foster home cuz nobody wanted it, specially if it has a desability.

Im pro-chice, or pro-abortion, dont know what the diference is, someone could fill me in.

Disclaimer: I don't mean to upset/offend/disrespect anybody else. These are just my personal beliefs on the subject, so I hope you will extend me the same courtesy of respect. We're all entitled to our own beliefs.

I'm personally pro-life. Regardless of the baby being in the woman's body, what about the baby's body? Shouldn't the baby have a chance to live his/her life? There are other options like adoption. I think abortion is essentially murder, and there are few things in life that I consider more selfish. If you want to have sex, then there's always going to be a "risk" of pregnancy. But wanting the right to murder another life so that you don't have to deal with any consequences/inconveniences for a decision that you made to have sex is just selfish and horrible, in my opinion.

That being said, there are certain circumstances such as rape or when the woman's life is in jeopardy from the pregnancy that I think are more "gray areas."

If a woman has a miscarriage, should she be tried for manslaughter?

Pro.

We cage, kill animals and eat them. Animals that can feel and have more awareness than unborn fetuses.

Why is that ok and abortion isn't?

Nothing to miss on this planet anyway.

im against some abortions. there shouldnt be pressure to abort ill children. its not cool that there are extra rules about aborting children with down syndrom or other handycap that allow a somewhat normal happy life.

if you want to abort because you can feed a children or cant love it or other reasons, well thats something complety different and should be legal

I'm pro-abortion (though i say that with a heavy heart), but i don't really understand why it's such a hotly debated issue right now. Providing comprehensive sex education to children, and ensuring that men and woman have easy and affordable access to contraceptives seem like more relevant starting points, especially in the US. Plucking the sapling often seems to go completely ignored in favor of cutting the tree down.

@Bolded: Yet killing the child is something you won't regret in life and won't find hard to do, right?

You make it sound like rape is the prime reason of abortion. Personally, I think the rape argument is one of the weakest arguments for pro-abortionist. It's only effective in arguments because of it's emotional impact. That said 88% pregnancies (by rape) in the united states are countered with emergency contraceptions when the victim's in the hospital. And last I checked... majority of women who get abortions aren't rape victims...
