From: Marvin Maze 2005-11-12 19:00:02	I just want to say that me being an 18 year old male, I do not believe in abortion. As we all know, abortion is nothing but murder.Why is abortion allowed? Why are people for abortion? What can we do to stop it? Why do mothers want to kill thier unborn child who has not had a chance to live. Your mothers let you live did they not? If it was up to me I would not allow abortion in any state all because it is taking the life of an innoncent child whom has not had the chance to even blink, let alone let a tear fall from their precious little eyes. For all of the "baby killers", you love life to the fullest, now just think give someone else the chance to have that feeling. The way I see it is like this...if you lay there and make the baby, you can take care of it. To the future mothers, if you are considering abortion, just think to yourselves.."What if someone was to kill me?"
From: April Peckens 2005-12-01 12:03:31	I think that people are aloud to have their own oppinion but for all of you to think that abortions are okay and not have true infromation that backs up your theory is retarted. i am a college student at university of new mexico and i am studing peoples views on abortions right now for one of my classes. I took a video camera and filmed peoples oppinons on abortion and for the 3 mins that they were on camera they gave me their views reason behind them how politics and religion play a role and then personal experiance. those people new what they were talking about but you guys do not.
From: tiffany 2005-12-06 10:12:40	What do they do with the babys after an abortion??
From: Hannah 2006-02-02 12:25:09	i do not understand how it could be legal to kill unborn babies who are "potential" human beings, but it is a crime to even abuse an animal. That animal will NEVER be a human being!
From: Amy 2006-02-22 19:18:46	Abortion is wrong. That is the truth. I hate it, this is pure murder. Women and people who perform abortions should be put into prison, or fined a whole ton of money. Isn't murder a crime in this country?? Yes, and why isn't abortion, because every one who is for it is stupid and blind. You can tell that it is a baby. Who ever said it wasn't is a complete idiot. It is cruel and every method they do hurts the baby. We are a weak country. We kill our own children, that is just sick. Women who plan to have one, should really think about it, before they have one. No abortion is safe, no matter what people say. Abortion doesn't make you un-pregnant, it makes you a mother of a dead baby, and a murderer. Thats all I have to say. Abortion is murder and the worst kind of child abuse. All aborted babies go to a better place, right in Gods arms. I am Amy and I am 100% pro-life.
From: Sarah 2006-03-01 17:40:16	you guys are complete idiots!!...it only takes a few day for a fetus to start developing their heart and lungs...most people dont even know they are pregnant till atleast a month!!you cant tell me killing that isnt murder.
From: PATTY 2006-03-08 22:40:21	ALL IVE GOT TO SAY IS THIS: WHOEVER IS PRO ABORTION AND HAS ABORTED FOR NO MATTER WHAT REASON IT IS, YOU GUYS ARE COMPLETE IDIOTS!! THINK BEFORE OPENING UR LEGS THEN, HOW WOULD U LIKE THAT?
From: G 2006-03-24 12:07:28	my sister used invetro-fertilization to become pregnant, because otherwise she was incapable. when the procedure worked, and she was 22 weeks pregnant, she developed an infection that ultimately led her to two choices: without the removal of her twins, she would die, or she could remove the children who had not fully developed, but they would live in a vegetative state because they had not fully developed. she had to remove her children, and she let them pass on because she felt it was no life for the two babies who would never be able to experience life..and because of the infection, we weren't sure what other harmful effects it had on the babies. this was not her fault, nothing she did during her pregnancy could have prevented any of this from happening. she wasn't "opening her legs and not thinking"..so i think before people make comments like that they should think first. and about the animal comment..what the hell? animals are never going to be human but they are still alive just as much as you are, and they bleed, eat, sleep, and hurt like you do. dont go off on a tangent until you carefully consider the facts of situations and all. not for nothing but this doesn't mean that i am for abortions- but like EVERYTHING in life- there are always different situations, different problems- and this is why you can't let a government take control of the legality of abortions- this is a private matter and it SHOULD be. i would never want MY government to make decisions about my personal life. OUR government has made enough fucked up decisions..please.
From: stephanie 2006-03-30 17:54:30	Well , my view on abortions is that they should be illegal. There is no excuse for it, many may think it will ruin their education and their lfe, which is obviously untrue. I am currently 8 months pregnant and I got to college and I just turned 18, I've realized that I need to take responsibility for my actions, but that does not mean I'm giving up on life. This baby just like evry other is a blessing no matter what. I understand there may be medical complications or the baby is defectiove but that's the way God made the baby, so just accept and nourish your baby with love. ABORTION = MURDER!!!!

Got a question? Got an answer? Let's hear it!

Pass this on!
