You can't deny that at conception, the embryo is alive. It may only be alive in the sense that any other single-celled organism can be called alive, but it is a living thing. It is also human as it has human DNA, and is this DNA is a mixture of the mother's and father's, but identical to neither, it must be a unique living human.

Having said this, I fully support abortion for any reason, and as late as the mother wishes. The only exception is if the doctor determines the baby has a chance of surviving outside of the womb, in which case labour must be induced or a c-section given if that is what the mother asks for. I don't think we can force anyone to have another person growing inside of them, stealing their food, messing with their hormones and permanently changing their body, but when we refuse people abortions that is what we are doing.

I do not think women should get abortions for stupid reasons. I do think they should be able to get abortions for stupid reasons.

I can totally understand what you're saying because- yes, we are forcing the mother to go through many difficult things against her will, yet if you look at it from the opposite side, we can't simply take away the life of the child in order to accomodate the mother. The mother (aside from rape, obviously) made the mistake of getting pregnant; the child has done nothing. Therefore it seems fit that the mother should be the one to suffer the consequences, rather than the child.

@shannonnn I can totally understand what you're saying because- yes, we are forcing the mother to go through many difficult...

Actually the child hasn't done nothing, it is stealing and trespassing. It cannot know this of course, but it is.
Even if the mother chose to get pregnant and then changed her mind, I would still support abortion. It's her body and she can do whatever she wants with it.

If I invite a man into my home and tell him he can stay for 9 months, but then change my mind, I can call the cops if he refuses to leave, correct? I didn't sign anything and it's my house.

When we abort a baby we are killing it, but if it had a chance of surviving outside the womb we wouldn't (or shouldn't) be aborting it in the first place, so it seems a moot point to me.

@LewisL Actually the child hasn't done nothing, it is stealing and trespassing. It cannot know this of course, but it is...

But think about it this way- in the US, parents can't kick out their children before they turn 18. They had the child, and welcomed it into their home- and if they change their mind about it, they have the stick it out until they turn 18.
The same goes with pregnancy. You chose to get pregnant, now you can't "kick" the child out (so to speak) before they're ready to be born. You have to wait it out for nine months, then you can put the child up for adoption.

A child under the age of 18 is not ready to live in the real world without the support of their parent. A fetus cannot live outside of the mother's womb, therefore the same law should apply.

Yess, you can certainly give them up for adoption at any time under 18, but you can't kick them out and leave them with nowhere to go, and no way to survive. (as abortion does to a fetus.)

@shannonnn Yess, you can certainly give them up for adoption at any time under 18, but you can't kick them out and leave them...

I think that a parent should be able to give up their child at any time. Once the child is born they have the ability to survive without the mother, and so there is a duty to at least take the time to send them to an adoption agency. But early in a pregnancy the child cannot. If it were possible (as I'm sure it will be eventually) to take a fetus from the womb and artificially keep it alive and developing then I would support the mandatory use of this, but as this technology doesn't exist we aren't left with many options.

what its called matters not. But it is alive.. And to kill something alive is in fact murder.

@Kaycee Yeah, but you DON'T have the right to kill them. Abortion is KILLING the baby, not just kicking it out

The difference is in the intent of the mother. The mother doesn't get an abortion to kill the baby, she gets one because she doesn't want the baby inside her anymore. If there is any chance that the baby could live outside the womb then the doctor should induce early labour and not abort it. The baby has the right to a chance at life, but the mother has the right to have control and ownership of her own body. Who are we to force someone to sustain a parasite in their body for nine months.

@Kaycee Yeah, but you DON'T have the right to kill them. Abortion is KILLING the baby, not just kicking it out

It is legal to kill someone who broke into your house, because you have just cause for thinking that they will try to hurt you. You can't kill them if they are on their way out though... well at least where I live

If a woman is in full labor and about to give birth, there is no way she would be able to drive. Somebody else would have to be in the car driving her, meaning there really would be more than one person in the car, so she would be able to use the HOV lane.

I hate the thought of abortion but I think it just be acceptable in some cases. Like if it will kill the mother, all deformed like 3 arms or 2 heads... you know something extreme. But if the mother is irresponsible and the baby is perfectly healthy there is no reason for abortion. There could be like an abortion court or something where the mother needs to get 5 legit doctors to sign and say this will harm the mother or something extreme is wrong with the baby and like the abortion judge will decide whether abortion will be needed. Make sense?? Just an idea..

@Richard I hate the thought of abortion but I think it just be acceptable in some cases. Like if it will kill the mother...

Stupid idea. That's not the point of abortion. The point of abortion is so women won't have to carry a child they don't want for nine months.
Not allowing them to have an abortion will likely make a lot of people desperate to the point where they will have dangerous illegal ones or where they will harm the baby before/after it's born.
Before 3 months, it's a bit hard to tell whether or not the baby will be fucked up or not, also.

I clearly defined parasite, and it seems to me that a fetus fits very nicely into that definition. Perhaps you have an alternate definition?

And ignoring the fact that you implied sex should only be for procreation, I did say earlier that abortion is about removing the baby, not killing it. If there is a chance it could survive outside the womb then labour should be induced and every effort made to keep the baby alive. Once the baby is born, then obviously killing them would NOT be equivalent to abortion. Who are we to force someone to sustain someone else in their body for nine months?

also the mother is still perfectly capable of attaining nutrients in MOST cases (just so you don't start talking about the one in a billion times it doesn't). Its not like there is a tape worm inside of you starving and killing you, this is what nature intended for pregnancy. Babies, children, fetuses, whatever you want to call them are NOT parasites.

Parasites do not necessarily kill their host, in fact in many cases they don't even harm them. Parasites get all their sustenance from their host and so would be hurt themselves if the host died. If we are using the definition of parasite that I offered above, then an unborn fetus is most definitely a parasite.

That's the stupidest thing i have ever heard. That's a terrible thing to say.

Its extremely ignorant to say the mother 'made a mistake' getting pregnant. Even with precautions, it happens. If she obviously took the precautions (birth control, condoms) and they failed that shouldn't mean she has to suffer. Its her choice. No really, argue all you want, by LAW abortion is her choice. That's the bottom line.
