i don't think that "good reasons" exists for abortions if you get what i mean. im not really that pro life or pro abortionists. but i came to accept a fact that just women do get abortions. the moral grounds for it is still really unstable by now. but there will always be protesters for every new idea or action. people will still decide on if abortions are morally right or wrong. but morals don't really exist in some things. but i don't know. well if you don't like abortions simply don't get one. and if abortions are wrong then that will be fixed later. a woman gets power over her own body and some people take advantage of that. im not trying to change somebody. because people can't change people they have to change themsekves i guess.

Heres the deal.

Each and every womans body and life is none of your business, and none of my business.

I am a wealthy, happily married woman that has had 3 abortions, and no I am not sorry. I am sorry that my birth control failed..

I have chosen to never have children, hence my tubal ligation, but even that fails..get it??

You cannot tell, and should not, have the right to dictate how many children a woman would like to have. Pregnancy is a healthcare decision, it chnages a womans body, and her physiology, and I believe that we should control our own ehalthcare decisions.

I am sorry that you personally do not understand why women choose abortion, but it is what it is.

You have the choice to not have an abortion..Noone is forcing you to.

I completely agree and would like to re-inforce what Cari has said: no abortion is more or less immoral than another, so the reasons why a woman chooses to abort are totally irrelevant and also none of anybody else's business. No woman should be forced to give birth because you are angry that she would rather terminate simply because she doesn't want children. Parenthood is her choice and her right (and by the latter I also mean the right to abstain from it). Reasons and restriction should never be placed on this.

Look at Cari, for example. I take pride in her views, because I regard them as right and I agree wholeheartedly with them. I admire her responsibility by using contraception and am equally sorry that it failed her - three times (very unlucky)!

I will add that I cannot use hormonal contraception, so I relied on less effective barrier methods for some time.

I did become pregnant on an IUD, which is just as effective as my tubal ligation.

Amanda.. get over it.
I had an abortion. Do you know me? Are you related? Was it your body that was pregnant? How does me choosing the best time, which it was not then, to gestate affect you?
How old are you?
I am betting from your post I am considerably older and had my abortion done before you even knew that sex made babies. So.. how does this personally affect you?
Kindly demonstraite this absurd idea for me.

The bolded section is the important one, and the real truth.

"if" abortions are wrong? Like you yourself said, morals are ambiguous. Because there are so many factors surrounding a woman's choice to have an abortion, it's always going to be moral in some cases, and "immoral" in other cases. But those "immoral" cases are specific to each person.

I think every sane person, pro-life and pro-choice, even pro-moderates, can agree that abortion is fine in the case of a 12 year old who is not physically ready for birth who was raped. I don't know of anyone sick enough in the head to force her to carry that fetus until her body could no longer support it, and be forced through a premature cesarian section.

Many people too, aside from the most hard-core pro-choicers, will agree that it is wrong for a woman to purposfully carry a fetus up until the month of birth, and then, for no reason aside from the fact that she just feels like it, decides she doesn't want it anymore, and gets an abortion. We all know that by this point, the fetus is completely viable and could be born right then and there without any complications.

And why is not wanting children a bad reason to have an abortion? Why should a woman (or teen) give birth to a child she doesn't want? So it can get neglected or abused, or killed? So it can get stuck in an orphanage with a half of a percent chance of being adopted (if it's white - if it's a child of any other race, it's pretty much screwed)? Living your life knowing your parent doesn't love or want you is far worse than being aborted. But, as others have said, if you don't like abortions, then don't get one. Why you feel the contents of another woman's uterus and what she does with them is any of your business evades me.

Medically speaking, fetuses are aliens in the woman's body - when it latches on to the uterine wall, antibodies from the mother's body attack it because it views the fetus as a foreign being and is set to destroy it. Sometimes the antibodies win the battle, which is why some women have continuous miscarriages.

There was nothing wrong with the fooetus I aborted, nothing wrong physically with me (except for the pregnancy, obviously lol) does that make me a "cold" person?

What do you think gives you that right to pre-judge someone on a decision they've made? You don't know me, you don't know my reasons for choosing abortion yet you think it's perfectly acceptable to assume I'm just some cold person who didn't give a stuff

Every reason a woman uses when deciding to abort is a good reason and no-one elses damn business
