First in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is seriously threatened, I think abortion can be appropriate (for lack of a better word) though I still dislike it.
In most other cases I can't approve of abortion. Sex is something to be taken very seriously, especially when a consequence is pregnancy. If you decide to have sex you should do everything in your power to ensure that you don't have pregnancy occur if it isn't desired. Even if you use more than one form of birth control and you still get pregnant I'm sorry but I still cannot approve of abortion. If you don't want to get pregnant at all there is only one sure way to prevent it. Harsh but it is true. If you are willing to take the risk, however slight, and practice safe sex that is fine but you must still recognize the risk.
If you willingly have sex and get pregnant that's your fault. Just because it is a mistake you've made I don't believe it gives you the right to deny someone life.
If you disagree with me that is perfectly fine. If you want to argue or bring up points or situations I might not have considered please do so respectfully. I, likewise, will honor your opinion and treat it with respect though I might not agree with you.

i agree with you completely. but my fear is that of pandora's box. once you open it, it cant be closed, there is conciquences(sp).
i feel the same way with the whole terry shivo(i think) ordeal, where the comatose woman and her husband and pulling the plug and that whole deal. the government should not have the ability to make decisions in cases like that, and once you allow them to, then they have complete control, same with abortion IMO.
I do believe that abortion is very wrong. it just seems so brutal and unfair. I know a several couples who want kids very very badly but are unable because of medical defects. and then at the same time there are people having abortions, murdering, abusing, and molesting young children and babys. i would never allow a child of mine to be aborted...NEVER and i have always and will always discourage abortion, but utimataly i feel it is not my decision, or anyone elses decision to make. only the individual(s) involved can make the decision.
its touchy, i know! and i dont mean to call anyone out or start a bunch of arguments or anything, im just curiouse...
