I personally are AGAINST abortion, it’s murder! But for my R.E class, we are talking about abortion and the religious attitudes to contraception and abortion.

Bad thing is, my teacher just asked the class to write a debate speech on abortion, and she herself has put us into pairs and has chosen whether we are for or against abortion; and we have to write a speech on it. I have to write about being for abortion! Agh, help me out!

What can be done to remove any fundamentalist (medieval) Christians & their mentality from the family planning issue?

Are family planning and abortion not entirely mutually inclusive?

What can be done to better educate/prepare etc young people so that teenage pregnancies, multiple births to multiple fathers, etc and other such undesirable phenomena are minimized?

I know that birth control is a sin. But would you be willing to compromise a bit and agree that abortion is worse, and see the overall good that support of comprehensive sex education and birth control could do. To include actual charitable giving towards both teaching and providing access to birth control to low income people?

An overwhelming number of abortions are to women that are either at or close to the poverty level.

This whole "we have to make abortion available to eliminate the risks associated with back-alley abortions" line makes no sense to me! It assumes the mother’s life has value and the child’s has none.

The pro-life movement wants to preserve the lives of both the child AND the mother. Isn’t that more reasonable?

And peanut gallery: If you feel you must make "babby" comments, please try to accompany it with a real comment, as well. Thanks!

I’ve been having a big debate about the moral right/wrongness of abortion with my parents and they say all kinds of horrible things that happen to it. The problem is they are so inconsistent about what it actually does or how it’s done that I’m not sure I can trust anything they say on the topic. Please help.

Why is abortion tied to politics? Who is on each side of the argument?

I’ve had one abortion and am going to have another, what type of toll is this taking on my body for future pregnancies.
To all the people who are answering and trying to tell me what to do with MY life, that’s not the question at hand. For those people who want to pry and try to make someone feel bad about themselves, FUCK OFF, thats not what I came here for. I wasn’t using protection the first time, and yes that was wrong. This time I was and the pills were not effective at preventing pregnancy. And NO I AM NOT READY TO HAVE A CHILD, and that’s my own business none of yours. No, please answer the question that is being asked of you, if you can’t then find another person to piss off. Have a nice day

I take into consideration many things when voting. Especially my beliefs, morals and financial state.
If it questions my morals, it puts me into check.

I can make a better decision.

Obama is for abortion, apparently 3rd trimester??? From what I understand. I am Catholic and highly against it. I voted for McCain due to that factor.

What do you think?

I had abortion almost a year ago and I’m planning to go to the gynecologist for a check up but for some reason I just don’t know how should I tell that I had abortion. I just think that after I tell the gynecologist will start to ask questions which I really don’t want to talk about. Can the gynecologist tell others about my visit?

My girlfriend is 6 months prego and finally decided to get an abortion. Should she go with a state-funded abortion or one at a private clinic? Obiviously, the state-funded one would make more fiscal sense, but we want to make sure that it’s safe and that they get all of it.
