i actually agree some what. but if you are responsibly to have sex then you should be responsible enough to at least birth the baby and put it up for adoption. and if someone got raped, then it is there descion but they have pills that can prevent pregnacy that i belive that every woman should be on unless they had surgery down there and they cant get pregnant either way. but reall all abortion is is taking a life that never really bagan. babies are so small and helpless they cant defend themselves in a situation such as abortion.

that may be true but if you cant afford a baby or if you not mature enough to handle one then you are doing society and that baby a favor. No need to make the baby suffer for the parents mistake

I'm doing a speech in school about abotins and i was wondering how many abortions there were in 2008?
But I think abortions are very wrong!!!! Its killing a human!!!!! Give the baby a live, a chance. There are so many women and teens out there who are killing there babies. I mean there are so many people out there that can't have kids, like my moms best friend. Shes tyred eerything and its impossable for her to have kids but onlyif people thught about them.
