Abortion: for or against

Which is why you don't just rely on a condom. You use other contraceptives as well.

Sometimes it's just not an option. Crazy parents, for instance.

Then, to be honest, that's their problem.

In a country where sexual education is taught, and there are family planning clinics here, there, and everywhere, they should know what they're doing.

I'm so sick of that adoption bullshit. Thats hardly a solution to childcare. You think every kid put up for adoption gets some great family where they're not being rapped or beaten? Or every kid even gets a family period? Nope.
"Adoption of children in foster care, is on the rise. About 130,000 of the 540,000 children in foster care nationwide are waiting to be adopted. About 50,000 a year actually get adopted, says Carol Emig of the Pew Commission on Children in Foster Care."

If you don't like adoption then stop making babies and not taking care of them k.

el oh el, KA, your post always make me laugh.

i was rapped by a black man and beaten by an olympic runner (also black)

Who wants to adopt? You're gonna get a kid who is (most likely) genetically predetermined to fail. Harsh yet true.

I vote against.

"I believe", fate has everything to do with every situation. How many times have you had unprotected sex, or close calls with you/or your partner being late on a period and sweating that out? lol Only takes that one time!! My situation, I am a single father and we used protection, but it still happened, unplanned...yes, unloved? Never!

It's a personal belief, but on the other hand "God" (if you believe) has given us free will, therefore, no matter who deems it to be right or wrong, it's personal.

For me, it's just wrong. Adoption > Abortion

Sometimes it's just not an option. Crazy parents, for instance.

Abstinance is always an option, unless they are raped.

Next.

You guys surprise me by being so conservative on this issue while being so liberal with others...

I'm gonna have to say in support of especially in the case of rape. I really don't see the need to bring an unwanted baby into the world to single parents. I think it should be the couple's decision, but if the mother decides to have the kid against the father's will then she forfeits child support. The same doesn't apply that the father can have the kid against the mother's will because obviously that's her body and nine months of her life. Things should be decided as couple. I think there was a really long thread about this topic already... so look it up if you're feeling curious.
