Pro-choice.
I'm not going to tell anyone how to run their lives. 3nodding

Woah now.

I don't care.

That is true, some one could and adopt the child if the person who is having it dose not want to keep it. It's just amazing by some of the people who pick it out for wrong reasons and hurt the child they chose to have and give life to some should just not have the child and just move on. My room mate believe that if you are raped you should be able to do what you want. Cause he said why would a girl want to keep a man who she never met baby not care for it or even grow to hate it, but there I know some girls/ women who would keep the child. But that's just one way it is seem by many people.

Personally, I stand with a pro-life stance. But that said, it's only an expression of what my personal choice would be.

Adoption is an option, but I say this: Americans (from my knowledge) don't look into their own nation first. We adopt from other continents like Asia and Africa, and yet we could just solve the problem if we all tried to look less like Madonna, et al.

I think rape should fall under an extreme case. There are some things that make the situation difficult to cut clearly. It *should* be personal choice. I don't want the government having authority, especially not on a national level, about what does and does not happen in individuals lives.

With abortion, there are effects that are not usually looked into very hard. Some of the situations put the mothers in risk because they don't go to a clinic that can ensure their wellbeing. There are emotional struggles that have to be dealt with one way or the other. There's a line that we have to decide on if we want to argue this out well.

--I hope I can keep up to date with this one. I'm headed out of town tomorrow, but I'll be online over the week.

I honestly think it's refreshing to hear so many individuals profess that they are pro-choice. I am currently a member of a church that would absolutely shun an individual who believed that it should be a personal choice whether or not they want to keep the baby or abort it. (which angers me to no end). Every single person on this earth has their own mind; therefore, they should be given the right to exercise their ability to think and decide for themselves. Personally, I am pro-life. I will be giving birth to my first son in less than 3 months, and I couldn't imagine aborting a human being that hasn't even been given a chance to breathe (or think for themselves) yet. However, I'm pro-choice when it comes to government interference. A woman should be given the option to go to a safe place to have her baby aborted if she so chooses. Because pro-choice has been implemented into our nation, a woman knows that she always has this option. If the government were to go pro-life all of a sudden, we would find many babies who would be aborted illegally and unsafely, which would cause numerous other problems for this nation.

Great topic. I'm waiting to hear from someone who completely disagrees with this viewpoint. I hope they can give a detailed excuse as to why they are.

You called for red?

Pro-life. A baby is a living human being regardless of brain function and stage in pregnancy. And I don't like telling people how to live their lives, but that doesn't mean I want to legalize murder. The purpose of law is to legislate morality, when you look at it. Besides, I'd rather have a crappy life then not have one at all.
