Debate of the Week: Abortion (Yes or No?)

[serp3821]

So this is it. The first debate!

We will have to keep this clean, remember people! Feel free to write your thoughts down. Make sure that you think before you post and if you don't agree with someone, don't write back, keep the comment to yourself, or if this debate escalates to a degree its unacceptable, we will have to stop.

So, enjoy!



Oh and the results of the vote will be shown by the end of the week, which will be in Friday the first of January. If you don't like this idea, let me know or let us know.

Also, you can make your own debate, not just me, because I won't be on all the time when school comes and I don't want to be the only one controlling it, I'm not a Mod.

The poll options are too hard. xD
I dislike abortion, but I agree with it. So I don't know what to put.

[serp3821]

oh lol, sorry. I was thinking... wait, I'll edit!

edit: better Cassie?

[Cassie]

Okay, I voted.
Haha thanks Stevenn.

[serp3821]

great!

I messed up in when the votes stop! I wanted it to end on Friday, oh well. the vote will end Sunday, just in time to start the new one on Monday. Though I will be in school .

Other people can choose what they want to debate on as well. Not just me, others! lol

Well I'm definately pro choice. The option should always be available.

Edited the poll to close on Friday, Steven.

I agree with abortion as long as it's before 3 months (when the baby isn't alive yet)

[Cassie]

They don't allow abortion after that time anyway. :]

Well, my old post regarding this topic anyway...

I actually has this discussion with a guy friend not so long ago.

He seemed so incredulous that I was pro-choice. He's a guy though. Boys never have to think about it. They don't have to choose whether to kill off a life inside them, so obviously they're going to be lenient toward pro-life. Well they say that. Then they get a girl pregnant and totally switch views. {rolleyes} 
Well it's not like it's an easy decision to decide between them.
I've never had to make that decision for myself and I hope I never have to, because that kind of responsibility on my hands I wouldn't be able to handle.

If a person gets pregnant for whatever reason, they should have an option to abort the child if they wish. Some people just are not in the circumstances to raise a child. If you have no money and nobody in the world to help you raise a child... it's an impossible feat for some people [although suffice to say, my mother somehow managed it, though she's more strong-willed than others].

Although I only believe in an abortion at a very early stage. Letting a child grow so much that it does somehow resemble a life form, I dunno, that's just kind of wrong.

Getting an abortion is hard, it's not easy to agree with, even if you're the one getting the abortion doesn't mean you have to be thrilled with the idea of it. Anyone who was, I'd consider them strange.

Put yourself into a situation, if you were pregnant [guys can just pretend their girlfriends were pregnant]. What would you do? Be realistic though. You'll have to drop so many life plans. You'll have next to no free time, you'll probably have to drop full-time education for a while, you wont be financially secure unless you come from a well-off family. Do you want a child to grow up with these kinds of obstacles? Sure, you can give them up for adoption, but that's not exactly a nice way for anyone to grow up either. People want to know where they come from and that they're loved.

When I have a child I want it to be born into a secure family that has the resources and money it's going to need. I've had experience of being born into unhealthy environments. I mean, my first home was a freaking bedsit with my mum and some gay men. Not the greatest environment to first live, probably. And we've never had that much money, and I'm sure if there's others on here who don't have much money, it's not always fun. I don't want my kid to grow up with no dad and no money either. So if I got pregnant before I was ready, I'd want the option. Not saying I WOULD get rid of it. It'd take so much thought. But you should have the option open.

And on random note, I actually have an abortion mod in my TS3 game because I have risky WooHoo, and I'll say it's very convenient... :]

Phew, that was a long opinion. But I like to get my thoughts out, you know I'm not lacking in that area.
Yay for Cassie's epic posting again. ^__^
Haha.
I don't even know if we're meant to be discussing this, but I did it anyway. Sorry. {rolleyes}

Thanks Mike!

edit: yeah, umm, I want women to have a choice wether to abort or not. It depends on their situation as well. If they cannot handle a baby, then they must abort before it reaches further development in the womb. Also, they need to learn from their mistakes. Do not do the same mistake again and being stupid thinking that your boyfriend will be there forever... You have to think smart and think before you act. That is my opinion.
