Should Abortion be Legal?

Pretty much what Mango said. I don't think anyone should have the right to tell a woman what they can or can't do with their body.

This is one thing I can't sway my opinion on. I'm probably going to get alot of hate but sorry guys it's coming out. How is another living human a piece of your body? Yes by a scientific definition you are alive after 4 weeks(I think) or something like that(I think a certain phase in fetus development). Yes the baby is sharing her body and yes her body is going to have to bear the damage of the birth of a human. By choosing abortion you are potentially kill the next Isaac Newton of humanity. Some could argue that you're killing a future serial killer or something. Look I'm just saying why not end someone's life before it starts. Even if you don't want to raise the child, there are hundreds thousands of families/couples that want to adopt children. I know someone's going to be like "well you're not a female so you wouldn't know about child birth". You are 100% right I don't know what it's like but I value human life. That's coming from a man who's job requires you end life.

I have no problem with abortion, there are too many people already. It's funny how it's mostly men that are so anti-abortion.

I understand that people have their beliefs on this subject, and trying to sway anyone's opinion is most likely going to just be a waste of time, so I'll just bring up one point. Rape victims not getting the option to abort is absolutely ridiculous. People can say adoption is an option, but forcing an already traumatized woman to carry around a reminder of that event for 9 months is disgusting.

Also the system is already overwhelmed with kids needing adoption because there are so many abusive and drug addict parents.

I'm pro choice but I think that the argument "a woman can do what she wants with her body" is 1000000% bullshit. By the law, after a certain time period (in California, it's 12 weeks), the fetus is deemed an individual. If you want an abortion, do it before the 12 weeks are over, because after that, it's illegal unless your life is in danger. So by law, it's not a "woman's body." The fetus is its own individual. Some super liberal woman defended her actions (and by actions I mean she smoked crack while pregnant) by saying these two things: "I can do what I want with my body" and "The fetus isn't a baby until it's taken its first breath!" I had to serve as a juror member for that case and of course I'm biased because I'm aiming to be a prosecutor. Needless to say, after the child was born, she "neglected" it for more crack and was officially convicted of infanticide. I quote this: " you can not tell one person what they can and can not do with their body. You can not tell a woman that she can not do something even if she is pregnant, it was her choice to bring a life into the world and hers to decide what she does with her body and the baby who shares her body. You shouldn't be concerned with what other people do in the first place especially when it comes to such personal decisions. Didn't anyone ever tell you to mind out own business. This is a matter of woman's rights and you can't tell her she can and can not do, you can only tell her the conciquences good or bad and hope she makes responsible choices. And the problem with tabaco is all the chemicals in it that naturally occur. Such as cionide. You're very ignorant I think you should read more, talk less." It was from a Yahoo Answer page. @Vintage it's actually mostly women. There are antiabortion gatherings all the time. Go to one and I'm willing to bet most of them are women.
