Controversial question #1. What are your thoughts on abortion? Feel free to argue...respectfully

[memoryroad]

I find it hard to be the one you only come to when you're down. I'm broken by the days...I'm empty and cold now. I'm still waiting for you to watch me fall. My loss and longing will ALWAYS haunt me. I can't breathe. You're choking me. Your words are hands around my neck. You penetrate my skin and kill me. This pain has found me once again. It only

That's so weird!

That's crazy, Art, this very topic is what we're debating in my speech class. I agree with "anonymous" and the kids on certain issues, since I have just recently been researching info to defend both sides I can see how both have their points. Me personally, I don't want abortions to occur, but like what was said, they will always happen. I know its kinda against my religion too, but there's just certain situations that, unless I was in their shoes, I couldn't judge their deciscions, all I can do is pray. I found a cite that says that as long as unplanned pregnancies exist so will abortion, even if people will have to go to extreme measures to have it done. I was reading abunch of stories and facts about pro-choice and pro-life and a lot of it mad me want to cry( one personal story did make me cry). When I debated it I had to go pro- choice and the 2 points I used were raped victims and the choice of "back-alley" abortions if there's no alternative. Its a very contraversal subject, but I have noticed both have their views to express. So here's a quetion to pose a bit of clash for the people that are pro-life. What would you say to a person that has been raped and is about to concieve a child born of hatred and lust, and will forever be a reminder of that horrif event?

I'll post my answer if anyone else answers the question.

Don't think I'm pro-choice, but just know, from what I know, that there are some reasons people need to abort. Me personally I will always try to stop abotion, but I will never judge those people.(its not my place)

If there's any info that you might want to know about on the issue I have tons of it(stupid speech clas).

P.s. I totally won that debate(which sucked cuse I went pro-choice), but it was my most pathetic cx moment in my life. Don't be ashamed of me Art and Chris. I still raped!

Even in a situation where a woman was raped, I still don't think abortion is justified. If my father decided to kill someone, would it be fair to punish me, or put me to death for his crime? Of course not. So then why kill an unborn baby because the father did something wrong. People argue that the woman will have bad thoughts or memories whenever they look at the baby, but there's always the option to put it up for adoption. Millions of parents are looking to adopt, and only a few people put their babies up for adoption. However, millions of abortions are performed every year.
