I Dont Think Its Ok. I Dont Think It Should Even Be Legal In The U.S. I Read In An Article That If A Female Walks Into A Doctors Office And Says, " Im Having A Boy And I Wanted A Girl." That Its Legal To Abort The Baby For The Sex It Has. It's So Sad :( Wtf Is This World Coming To.?!!!

+12I'm pro-choice. Saying that abortion shouldn't be legal isn't going to stop people from having abortions, it just means that more women will go for unsafe abortions instead. For the well-being of women, abortion needs to be legal. I support a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy for any reason, whether it is because she feels that she is not mature enough to be a mother, has current responsibilities or future plans that would be interfered with by a pregnancy, because she cannot afford to have a child, etc. Embryos and fetuses should not have more rights than a woman, because a woman deserves the rights to her body that she was born with and I do not believe it is fair to force a woman to go through with something that can greatly affect her health and future when she does not want to go through with it.
Have the Baby and PUT IT UP FOR ADOPTION!!! THERE IS NO EXCUSE ABOUT KILLING AN INNOCENT CHILD!!! EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE AT LIFE!!
Choosing not to relate to it as human is absurd. It is clearly human genetically. There is no sentiency but the potential is there. We are as humans creators and creating life, though in our predisposition for survival, is creation nonetheless. Destroying our own creations whether it be buildings or societies or monuments to our own successes is shameless.
I think we have a great capacity to dismiss what is real for the sake of a particular agenda we feel is more important. Although I do not believe in providence, I believe in the greatness of human evolution and care to demonstrate some respect to our forefathers. I think that if it is convenient to have sex, it is convenient to makes concerted efforts to vastly reduce the risk of conception. The church needs to get the hell out of the way on this. They are compounding the problem.
If she's pregnant and wants to keep the baby, she can do that too.
If she's pregnant and wants to have an abortion, she can do that too.
The thing is that we can't force someone to stay pregnant if they don't want to be pregnant, that would be violating their rights.
There is, however, an embryo or fetus inside of her. One that is not yet a human person, not a sentient being. Like I have said three million times before
no one can /force/ a woman to use her body in a way she doesn't want it to be used, including having an embryo or fetus growing inside of her while she has to put her life on hold for nine months even if she doesn't want to.
Please tell me if we made abortion illegal, what should happen to the women who have had abortions? Prison? Death penalty?
And, the fetus has a brain? They cant make that desition because they can't make any decision.
Morally, I believe that would be a bad reason to get an abortion. However, just being I believe something would be wrong doesn't mean that it is nor that it should be illegal.
Before you go PMSing over that, stop and consider something. Let's say that a law is passed that makes it illegal to get an abortion if the reason is because of the baby's gender. Okay, anyone who knows about the new law and wants an abortion for that very reason isn't going to go telling that as their reason. They'll just say that they're not ready for it or something else, if they give a reason at all. For those that don't know and get told, "we can't give you an abortion because of your reason for it," they'll just go to another clinic and give a different reason. Push come to shove, there will be 'underground' clinics performing them and then we'll have casualties from that, which will end up causing our nation even more headaches.
In case you missed it, a child is a young human who has already been born. To 'abort' that child would indeed be murder because the child has already been born. A child inside the womb isn't a child, not yet.
A fetus that doesn't have life yet, well to abort that isn't murder. If someone is going to claim that life begins at conception, they may as well say it begins at arousal and make it a law that people must have lots of unprotected sex without any attempts being made to prevent pregnancy. Because otherwise, you're preventing that fetus from it's rightful beginning. Birth control should be seen as a method of suffocating life out of a fetus before it's even conceived, etc.
In other words, if someone is going to be absurd about life beginning so much sooner than it really does, then may as well go all out. Why be half-assed about it, either being completely absurd or not at all.
Life doesn't begin at conception, it begins later on in development. You really think that life wants to go through all that hell of having it's body parts initially formed? Why subject such an innocent life to that torment...

That and a physical existence doesn't mean life has started already, it just means it's prepared for it.
