Pro-Choice is NOT Pro-Death

Pro-choice does not mean I love the thought of abortion. It means I believe that abortions are a personal choice that a woman should have, and believe nobody should be able to take that right away from them.

I'm really upset because an online friend is 4 weeks, and considering abortion, which I support 100% if that is her decision, but there are girls who are being so mean about it! They make her dread coming online because they are saying things like, "Your going to burn in hell for killing and murdering and torturing an innocent baby just because you cant take your sorry ass and step up to the plate for the sake of your child!"

I respect their beliefs that abortion is wrong, but they need to respect that it is ultimately HER choice under the law, and keep their thoughts to themselves because they are hurtful to a scared and terrified pregnant 18 year old!


What do you all think?

I am personally against abortion. It is an easy way out yes, but I feel people need to step up for their actions. I don't go around bashing people for it, but I donot like it.

I think that abortion is about a woman's right to choice what is in her best interest. I don't agree with abortion but at the same time, who am I to judge? If God forbid I was in a bad situation and I needed to do that - no one has any place judging me. So no one has any right to judge your friend. It is her body and her decision.

It was also HER choice to have unprotected sex when she wasnt ready for a child. I disagree with abortion 100%, but at the same time I don't think people should be saying such harsh things to her.

Honestly i dont believe in it!! Im prolife and always have been... I believe under extereme circumstance (ie rape) then yes but no matter what ur age if u think ur adult enough to spread your legs i think u need to grow up and take care of your child. but its a hard decision she will have to live with for the rest of her life

I'm pro choice.... I could care less what some one else does to their body... it's their choice NOT mine... people who think that abortions are wrong... good for them that's their opinion... they just shouldn't shove it up someone's nose because they don't agree with it... I respect someone else's beliefs but not when they are being shoved at me... They remind me of those people that stand at the street corners with signs on Sundays telling you to go to church or you're going to Rot....

I'm pro-choice and feel the same way. I have a friend that found out she was pregnant at 14 weeks into the pregnancy (I personally think she knew before that, but was in denial). The father was a guy that was a drunken mistake and her current boyfriend (the guy she's now marrying) was a new relationship. She didn't want a child and didn't feel like she could be a good mother...not to mention she was going to be out of the country when she was due (she was doing work in Mexico for six months) and she didn't want to lose the job. I was about 22 weeks when she told me that she was pregnant and getting an abortion. Was I pleased about it? No, I was upset. But we talked about it and she had thought it through and it was the best option for her in her opinion. If I would have screamed and raged against her decision, she would have still had the abortion, but with no support, no one to ask questions to, and our friendship would have been done. At the end of the day, it wasn't my life and I couldn't control her.

I find that the women who tell other women that they're murderers for choosing abortion are the same women who throw a tantrum like a two year old if you dare to offer them an opinion on their parenting or life choices.

Hypocrites, is what they are.

Haha...I was waiting!

Im totally with you..Id much rather havea girl get an abortion than to have it, not know if they really love them,then treat them like shit, have it taken away by the state, then this poor baby ends living in all kinds of foster homes, & ultimately ends up being an angry unloved person...not saying that there arent some very succesful foster kids out there that have made a good life for themselvesbut most end up going the wrong way..

I personally would never get an abortion unless I absolutely had to for medical reasons. I really don't appreciate women getting abortions just so they can have their own freedom, though. Such as, not wanting to have a baby because it wasn't the right time in their life or it's too much responsibility. They should have thought about that before they laid in the bed, period. Whether they used a condom or birth control. Most of the time, it doesn't work. But, I would never go around and bash someone for wanting to get one.

You can get pregnant even on BC..... so what then... Lets say she took the BC methode and it didn't work for her? Obviously that child wasn't what she wanted... and even tried to NOT having and tosay that you shouldn't have sex then is just silly

I think if you are raped then put the baby up for adoption. It isn't the babys decision to be a "rape baby".....

i think the only case is where the baby has a serious condition and wouldnt really be able to survive outside. Or if it would kill the mom....that is a familys personal decision. No judging here.

i think that there are extenuating (sp) circumstances. i dont think you should go around being unsafe just becuase you can get an abortion but i think sometimes in special cases its okay.
