Well then I guess it would have to be up to the woman to decide. I mean it is her life, and she can choose to live it the way she wants. If that means she wants to take care of a child, then fine she doesn't need an abortion, but if she doesn't want to take responsibility, then she should get the abortion. The decision is solely in the woman's hands, and not anyone else's because that is her life. LOL!

If there is no father then how can he have a say? Leave abortion up to the couple, but always respect what the women wants. She has to carry it for 9 months and is then expected to stay home to raise it.

Pro-choice 100%.
Why bring a child into the world and let them suffer if the mother or people do not want it?

An unexpected pregnancy is not always suffering for a child, there are adoption centers all over the country where unwanted babies can be dropped of, and still the sanctity of human life is maintained.

Absolutely not.

Giving women the right to have an abortion should not be allowed. Plus, it's pretty unethical to begin with.

I hardly think you have say. Moral or not. Giving women the right? What gives anyone the right to be parents?

That is not fair to the mother. Why make them spend 9 months going through this when it can be safely avoided if addressed early enough. And let's be honest, many of the babies you mention above never get homes, or are auctioned off to the highest bidder like cattle. It would be better off to not have them at all if the option is available.

Hell, if Angelina Jolie can go to Cambodia or wherever, and adopt kids in foreign countries, can't middle and upper class people adopt and save children from poverty and death? This is more of a Constitutional argument than anything else, which states that LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness must be protected. Life is over the whim of a mother to kill her child. We haven't evolved from the Greeks, who would abandon their children on a cliff to die. What's the difference? None.

While I think abortion is wrong, I do not think that it should be up for the government to make that decision for people.

People say that abortion is murder. Well, a very young fetus isn't a person to many people. To some it is, to some it isn't. People should be allowed to make that decision for themselves because the line that distincts a human from not a human is fuzzy. Does a person become a person exactly when the sperm and egg make contact? When the cells start dividing? When the fetus gets a heart beat? When the fetus could be born and survive? When the baby is actually born? It varies from person to person.

My grandmother had a hard time keeping full term pregnancies. She miscarried a lot, and she would see the stuff that she miscarried. She said that what she saw "wasn't a child" and I have to respect her belief.

I am pro choice, and am in support of abortion at all stages of pregnancy.
Pro lifers can say that adoption is a better option, but consider this: If all woman, pregnant unexpectedly, decided to give their child up for adoption, would there be enough adoptive parents to adopt all unwanted children?
It's easy to say that adoption is the best option, and that adopting means the child is alive and 'happy' - but what if the child languishes in an orphanage until the age of five or six? Most adoptive parents do not want to adopt toddlers or older children, they want newborns.
I also don't think adoption is as simple as some people like to make out - it's a long, drawn out process.

Also - do we even need anymore unwanted children in this world?
