Prolife or Prochoice?

I'm going to throw this out here.

I am prolife. I believe life begins at conception and life should be protected, not dostroyed. The baby is alive. If it wasn't alive, how would it grow? The constituion even protects the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Prochoice is very illogical. You say that it's the women's choice but it's not HER body she is murdering. It's her CHILD'S body.

I just want to hear what you say.

polls generally work best when you can't choose every answer


I am Pro-choice... I do not believe that a fetus is a human until long after the legal abortion point



a fetus is a potential human, but it isn't a conscious being until months after it is illegal to abort them

Oh boy...

Lets just say this: I realize that abortion may be desirable in some cases, such as incest or rape, but I still would like to know if anyone thinks abortion is moral when the mother's health isn't at risk, or in the case of the aforementioned sexual escapades.

Honestly, I'd like to see the need for abortion reduced, via education and awareness raising.

The way I think of it is if the mother is going to die if she has the child then I'm for it but if not then the baby should be born.

I can agree with you but then people will throw situations at you. Say, I am a new mother with a husband. If my child was being born and I had the possibloty of dying, I would die and let the child live. In the case of me having more children at home, I would rather have the child in the hands of God I'm heaven so I can take care of my other children. But that's the only way I can agree with you.

Also, I would like to thank everyone so far for their views and opinions

I agree with Rasq, that they should only have the option if they were raped or with incest or if the mothers health is at risk.

There should be an option for the situation if there happened to be a potato famine. Then I'd vote for "Eat the babies"

Ok, honestly. I didn't put this up so we can be immature...Please, let's be mature and debate correctly.

Potatoes are people too!

*sees post above*

Oops...

CivBase...Really? Wow...Really? lol

i'm gonna interject here that although I am Pro-choice... I do not like abortion


however... when the option to abort is gone completely, girls who want to abort their babies will still try, will hurt themselfs, will not succeed in killing the baby but will still screw them up for life.

and in cases of rape and stuff like that, then the mother shouldn't have to carry the child they didn't want.


now, in the case of "I have so much sex and and now i'm pregnant, OOPS!" I do not believe those ditsy idiots should be able to abort.

but sometimes it would be preferable to kill the child than to have it raised in an environment where it would be hated, and turned into an angry bitter person who isn't a help to our already overcrowded and overpopulated society.

well, I'm just going to throw adoption out there. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there to adopt, right?

adoption still has the problem of putting kids into our already overpopulated society

overpopulation is an issue, a big one at that... in 50 years at this rate things are going to get very uncomfterable in places that didn't start trying to lessen the problem early.


you can't treat symptoms, you have to sometimes treat the disease.




before there was a big war less than every 100 years that helped keep our population in check, there will never be a large scale war like that again after the invention of the Nuke... so we need to start on population control... NOW


abortions wouldn't do much to make a dent in that... but kids being raised badly by families who did not want them is part of the self perpetuating problem of poverty in this country




I do agree with adoptions... It would only become a problem when EVERY mother is forced to have their child and hundreds of thousands of kids per year start getting dumped into the adoption system

Birthrates have been declining and demographics are shifting toward older people (In America). [I think]

I agree with Krazy here, but im more of a pro-life Person, If its Rape or it will kill the mother, it should be aborted.
