If you don't want a baby, then don't have sex, simple as that

Sometimes people don't get a choice if they had sex in the first place. Espesially if that someone is a kid, a kid's body can' handle the mental and physical trauma from birth.

I dont think thats how it works, yes some people are unprotected and if you dont want a baby definetliy be careful but there is instinsaces were sex is forced.

If it's the first 3 months, the "baby" would be just a fetus. Fetuses are not conscious, nor should it be anyone's business if the person decides to take the pregnancy off if it happens to be accidental or a result of rape.

Think about your own young daughter getting raped, would you want her to continue to have that child? There are many positions where a woman can be impregnated against her will or in a regretful way, I feel it's their own personal body, they choose what happens to them.

Abortions aren’t always the result of a “poor choice” and the time spent arguing over whether the reason matters completely ignores the wishes of the woman whose body people are trying to control. Rape happens, defects happen, lifestyle status change happens, it’s not just poor decisions.

I understand, but in most situations, no one is just having sex FREELY with the idea in their head that they want a kid. Some people genuinely plan for when they want to get pregnant and have a baby. In other cases, some people are either raped, molested, etc. No one should be forced to have a baby if they don't want too.

There are many people thats have been raped or forced into into sex without their consent, if they don't want the kid and believe that they cant take care of them properly then they shouldn’t have the baby. It better to bring a child into the world that will having loving parents than be uncared for.

Unfortunately often times its not the woman's choice to have sex. pregnancies caused by rape are not up to the would be mother and if she doesn't want the child, cant care for the child, or is herself a child, she should not under any circumstance be forced to carry through and give birth to her rapists baby.

Abortion is absolutely needed for certain cases, not all pregnancies are planned or sustainable. There are so many disgusting cases of crimes that happen in our world where pregnancy is the after-effect, so why would we require the carrying of a life that will be led with nothing but misery and grief. That is no condition to bring life, and it wouldn't be living in the first place. Abortion occurs way before certain developments, and as far as we know is completely painless. We shouldn't shrug off abortion, it is a horrible thing to have to go through, but sometimes it's absolutely necessary.

What about rape, especially of a minor? Should the minor, or even anyone who goes through that, have to go through what they didn't ask for? No, they shouldn't have to have a baby and be reminded of it all the time, and there are such things as adoption and things like that, but they still have to be reminded of that rape throughout their whole time of pregnancy. Also, the so-called "baby" isn't actually viable until 24 weeks into the pregnancy. On the other hand, if the parent was having sex and wasn't using any form of protection to prevent getting pregnant, then they shouldn't be able to have an abortion. Also, there should be a time frame for having an abortion, depending on how far along you are.

Its not a baby, it is a clump of cells. It is not conscious, and is completley acceptable to terminate. It is not always used as a form of birth control, and sometimes nessasary for the mothers survival. Save the tree, not the fruit.

Some people are assaulted and do not have the choice. There are also many situations that are dangerous during pregnancy that cannot be accounted for even if the person wants to get pregnant.

what if the baby was caused during sexual assault? rape? what if you cannot afford to keep the baby? what if you have health issues that could have you die in order to have a baby?

People can get pregnant by rape and sometimes they accidentally get pregnant and do not have to financial ability to care for the child or is not mentally mature enough to handle one. A fetus is what is in the womb and for the average abortion limit the fetus is a clump of cells the size of small fruit or other small items. Also, most people who have abortions after the abortion time limit is for medical emergencies for the mother. The mothers health should be more prioritized than a fetus which isn't living yet.

The baby is not a baby yet, it's a small clump of cells. Rape and incest also happen and are unfortunately unavoidable. Teens are also not developed enough to restrict themselves, so definitely not ready for a baby.

A baby is reliable onto its host and or mother, a fully developed child is severely different from a fetus and or underdeveloped child. In cases of rape are incest the mother should have a right to terminate her child before the 6-12 weeks provided by most states.

It's not that easy. People are going to have sex regardless of that. I could agree with your statement about "just dont have sex" but people STILL will. There will be instances of that happening. Think about their money situation, can the parents afford to HAVE a baby? And what if there's complications? Can they afford the medical bills? Or what about genetics? Plenty of people don't have children BECAUSE of how awful their genetics are. Thats' expensive. There's a lot of people who were born into awful situations, think about that. Do you know how many instances there are of MEN lying to women about using protection a lot of men baby trap women. MY BODY, my choice.

Some people don't have the funds to have a child. Saying "don't have sex" is ridiculous, because i'm sure you have it for reasons other than having a baby. It's a woman's body, she should choose.

while inside the womb it is a fetus. It does not have brain function, feelings, or really any sense of self. it also isn't always the conscious discussion to have sex that gets someone pregnant. Many people get pregnant from rape. There is also the fact that not all pregnancies are healthy. Ectopic pregnancies for one are when the fetus materializes outside the womb and can cause a multitude of problems including death for the mother.

There is people who get raped... and this isnt by their choice, therefore abortion gives the person a choice, because this can cause the person mental issues because its a reminder of what happened, and also they could die from giving birth a to a baby who isnt even wanted. Also when they do the abortions, they are cells, they really havent deveopled.

A fetus is not able to live independently outside of the womb, therefore it is different than a baby. Also, rape and sex trafficking exists, some people are assaulted or forced to carry children against their will.

Sex is a thing humans have been and will continue to do for the entirety of our existence. If you are going to have sex, do it safely and prevent pregnancy and the spread of STDS at the same time. In the case of a baby in a stroller compared to the womb, it has not actively achieved life; it has not met all the criteria if you want to fight and say that its life and we are killing it, start by banning euthanasia of animals or hunting, then come back and talk about this.

Sometimes a mother is raped and then becomes pregnant against her will. Sometimes, it's a little kid who gets raped and is then forced to carry a baby.

Okay, so then don't have sex... Why does it matter what you think? Quit worrying about what other people have going on. Easy fix.

For some people it is not that easy. You conveniently leave out the part when women are violated. What about them? Why do you default to blaming the mother? And you make the assumption that fetuses are people. They are not. They have not even experienced life yet. Ignoring the scientific part.
Here is what I think: Pro-lifers do not care about children. Think of all the children in foster care. These children are abused. Not a peep about them from you people. But you would rather risk a woman’s life, a person, someone who has loved ones and dreams and aspirations, to the idea of a pers…  Read moreon. Someone who has not even been born yet. Shows you how little women are valued in this society.
Abortions aren’t evil. Nothing is black and white. It is a personal matter, and you need to stop being so concerned over someone else’s business. This is a conversation reserved between a pregnant woman and her doctor.

I agree. It is the unjustified end of a human life. If you dont want a baby dont do the baby making action.

I agree. Dont pushish the baby for a mistake. But i also undedstand sexual harassment and not being able to afford living expenses. However, the baby shouldn't be punished.

I agree you did the thing and your baby to you may seem like a consequence but it will be a blessing and you don't get a right to kill it because you were stupid.

I strongly agree with this the baby deserves to live and the mom does not have to do that, she knew what could happen and it is not the baby's fault

I agree with this statement. However, if the mother is a rape victim or some other exception, they should have the right to decide on keeping it or not.

I do not believe in abortions at all. I feel if you take the risk its on you. I understand about when people are sexually assaulted but I feel that it could still be a blessing in a way.

abortion should not be aloud because their still a human. I believe that all human life is sacred and should be protected, regardless of stage of development.

I agree with this!! A baby is a human being with potential, and why isn't abortion considered murder. Murder should never be normalized. Everybody was created in God's image and was created for a purpose.

I agree that abortion is wrong, but people can choose to have sex just for pleasure, and not think of what could come after, which is obviously ending up pregnant. The mother would be either immature and doesn't know what her actions could do, or could actually want a baby to raise.

I agree with this so much, cause everyone nowadays prioritizes casual relationships instead of long term partnerships and this causes a significant amount of people to have sex with no intention of raising a baby. A life shouldn't be taken away because someone couldn't close their damn legs.

You can't put a law saying not to have sex unless you're trying to start a family. People are going to do it anyway. Birth control can fail, and it's not always planned to have a baby, especially with younger people. People can be unprepared for a child and won't be able to give it a life while also trying to maintain their own.

Some people do not have a choice on whether they have sex or not. Victims of rape are just as important as the majority when discussing options of pregnancy. While a child killed in a stroller is gruesome and horrible abortion is different because it is comparable to someone breaking your car's windshield, and you breaking your car's windshield. It is also in a completely different stage of development, which is not the same as a toddler.

The children being born into low income families will suffer or have the chance if having a poor foster experience.

sometimes people cannot have a baby without dying in the procese or if their baby could have issues later in life or come out still born so it is necaccarry to have abotions for this reason
