[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with you- I think it should be available in cases of abnormalities, rape of a young child etc. . I think it is personal b/c

a) its been marketed to women that they carry and bring life so they should be at the forefront of protecting children born and unborn b) Most importantly a lot of people believe that a child within the womb is just as much a person as one outside the womb and it is murder to end that life in the same way that it is murder to throw an hours old infant in a trash dumpster. Logically they are completely correct and it is gross that abortion of a 4 month fetus is used as birth control to the extent that it is.

I also belong to a faith that says that the soul enters the fetus, not the embryo , so at the beginning of the 2nd trimester and that an embryo as well as an egg or sperm carry the potential for life but are not human. We also don't permit artificial insemination by a man other than one's husband or surrugacy so each faith has its own guidelines and these are very strong. I think that its good that women who begin life begins at conception follow through on that but I think that there has to be just as a push for the welfare of those children and mothers after birth as well and also universal coverage and access, in fact a push, for birth control for couples who will not be be able raise their children independently.

I just think abortion is a serious medical procedure that should be only used as a last resort in horrible unfathomable circumstances and not as a "Oh shit! I forgot my birth control again!" plan B.

Woman hate to hear this but pregnancy and sex is a big deal. Couples should have sex carefully with the knowledge that there is a very real chance of getting pregnant. Do not punish a poor unborn child because of your bad choices. [/quote]

Having had an abortion for medical reasons, I agree that it is a serious medical procedure.  I also believe that in the vast majority of cases it is used as a last resort in difficult circumstances.  You are out of your mind if you really think there are a lot of women out there for whom an abortion is just a casual forgot my birth control plan B.  Abortion is expensive, difficult to procure (even here in DC I had to wait about 2 weeks to get mine scheduled), time consuming, painful, highly emotional.

In many cases it is more of a punishment to carry an unborn child to term for a life of physical or emotional suffering either because of issues that the child itself has or because of the circumstances into which it will be born.  Whether to carry and/or raise a child is a highly complicated decision with an unlimited number of factors to consider.  It is best left to the discretion of individual adults who understand and can evaluate their own circumstances.[/quote]
