| Abortion!!!!! So, who's pro-choice? pro-life? doesn't know? I'm just wondering what the TF community feels about abortion. i think it would be a nice change of pace to discuss this. |

| Pro-Life...
This depends on two things...religious belief, and beliefs about moment of conception.

| I'm mixed about it, like if a female is raped and gets pregnant by the guy then she should be able to have an abortion with in a certain amount of time that the rape is reported. BUT if she had consensual sex then she should not be allowed to abort unless she is under age or can not support the child or can not afford the medical attention. But they both must be with in a very short amount of time. |

| Exactly, this is why I put pro-choice.
Buuut altogether, as a male, I don't feel I have too much of a right to decide honestly....and I mean that in the sense, if I accidentally got my girlfriend pregnant or something, and she absolutely wanted an abortion, then I'd only try to convince her so much, because ultimately it's their body. Yeah it took two to make it, and I technically should have say in it, but I don't know...that stuff is tough...it can definitely screw some women up mentally, so it's just really touchy.
My Ex-boss said her daughter had this friend that basically used abortion as a freakin birth control...think she had like 4 or 5 of them....hellish beotch.
My stupid *** friend got his tweaker girlfriend pregnant, and that stupid beotch waited like 5 months in before she got hers....it was a freakin 2 day abortion process...one day was to kill the baby and cause it to drop, the other day was to completely remove it....sick ****.
I'm not saying it's right, but the choice shouldn't be completely abolished |

| Ehh yea 5 months I think the baby would feel pain... I have heard that it can cause extreme stress on the mind and body and hurt a female badly if there younger, like the girls at my school there rather small for there age, and I just donÂ’t think there body could support a child growing in them and all but meh, we need a option up there that says mixed..... |

| I think Abortions should be illegal after like 3 months of pregnancy.. I "believe" that's when the brain-stem (or some **** like that) forms in the baby and it starts to feel pain.. Before that, I have no opinion. But, after 3 months (I think!) abortions should be a no no. |

| Well you make a point. I am not absolute pro-life, but I am in most sense. I think rape or incest could provide a justification, but only if its during the very early stages of the pregnancy. I am against late-term and partial birth abortions completely.

| yeah, she got a little pamphlet from that abortion clinic that said how far the baby is in development per month...at 5 months it already starts distinguishing the voices of people outside....creepy stuff.
and yeah that partial birth and late pregnancy crap is sick...like I said for her it was a two day process, and if I remember correctly in some cases they like, snap the baby's neck and kill it and geh, that's just freakin wrong...if you're going to do it, you'd better get it within the first month when it's basically a blob of flesh Quote: |

| well I think 'dont know' would kind of mean 'mixed feelings' for the most part |

| I'm pro choice, i also feel this should only be decided by women. If guys could get pregnant then we would have drive through abortion clinics already, that's a fact. So i think what has been decided has been decided and these religious freaks should just leave Roe Vs. Wade alone.
Seperation of church and state applies here, they are trying to press their religious beliefs on us. They don't have to have an abortion so they should keep their crud to themselves. I don't like people who try and tell me what to do, they should fix their own problems.
