Fetus doesn't even have brain activity until it's about 6 weeks old. Thus, aborting a fetus which is 6 weeks or younger strikes me as 100% ethical, since it's also never had any prior brain activity. Since I think of intelligence as the hallmark of what makes humans valuable, abort that 6 week or younger fetus. I'm still okay with abortion which occurs later than 6 weeks, though I think it gets increasingly ambiguous, and I would possibly be okay with disallowing third trimester abortions except in cases of medical emergency, since there's been several months for the mother to make a decision at that point.

I myself can't come up with fair and conclusive results since I myself have never experienced an abortion.
For the sake of science and all that is good i will partake in a so called "abortion" BRB!

Where I stand is 'I don't feel a fetus has the right to die' as its done nothing wrong etc.xxhazyshadowsxx said:

How CAN it be PROVEN that the SOUL(something that the existence of and idenitfication of is contrivercial and unprovable by science)"doesn't actually enter the body until 6 months of the child's development in the womb."??

well as a fetus they are as small as one soo it kind makes sense, that and they dont think/have emotions .
Don't worry, I look forward, its fun to see other peoples opinions on such trivial matters
Here is my point of view in the topic, Anyone who has becomes pregnant (with a perfectly good baby) and its her fault deserves to keep it. I see abortion as a way of avoiding responsibility for your actions.
Pro abortion.
That's really all it is. Pro Choice and Pro Life just make it sound better than what it really is, you're either for abortion or you're against it.
So, I'm pro abortion.

Choice is the real issue, though. Saying that you are pro-abortion makes it sound like you support abortions whether or not the mother chooses them; it's a plausible view if you think population control is necessary. But to say that you are pro-choice means that you support mothers having the choice to have an abortion, which is very different.Julianking93 said:
Tough choice, to be honest.
I'm still not completely sure wether or not a fetus should be considered a life, since it is not self-aware or sentient.
On the other hand, it will become sentient one day, so in that way one could consider it human.
However, the most effective way to piss me off in this discussion is to make the argument that maybe the person who would cure cancer would be aborted. To that i say, 'What if Hitler was aborted? Yeah, you don't like thát side of the argument, huh?!'
Also, personally i think the sides are a bit oddly named. Pro life or Pro choice. So, when i'm on the Pro choice side i apparently hate Life? When i'm Pro life i think free will is for pussies?
EDIT: There is one issue EVERYONE seems to overlook, and that is where does the father of the child come into play? I know it sounds odd, but still, why can a mother shamelessly take the child from the father?
Seriously, if a woman would steal the child of her divorced husband, then she'd be thrown in jail. If she has an abortion then suddenly it's her right as a woman.

True, but to say that you support the mother's decision to have an abortion, is to say that you're pro abortion.Seanchaidh said:
I can only speak about my own experiences, an ex fell pregnant & decided to abort our child with out talking to me first, their was no medical reason for it & we were living together.
Her only excuse was "i don't want it to interfer with my carrier"
She had no carrier then nor one now, she worked part time as door security & thats it,still doing the same after 3 years.
Pointless waste of a human life!

My IQ is 108, so thanks for that.HG131 said:
IQ also is not related to parenting skills, i know enough people with a shitty education that make great parents, so the statement you made is rather close-minded.
Well I?m catholic, so naturally I?m against anything that prevents or kills life; wouldn?t you feel angry if someone started killing the plants and digging up the seeds in your garden? Well that?s how God feels about the people who selfishly kill their babies for their own benefit. You do not have your own body, and when you die it will cease being yours again, so what right do you have to question what happens to it?
I think what people do is their own business in a way, but I really do get quite frustrated with people who can?t appreciate the value of God?s will, and refuse to accept events, even events that seem evil or wrong or accidental, have been decided by our lord. I can only hope that I have touched a handful of people with this message.
