Thoughts on abortion

Do you think abortion is okay? My opinion about abortion goes both ways. I think it depends on the situation. If you're raped and you get pregnant, I feel like it's okay that you get an abortion, because you didn't agree to what happened so you weren't trying for a baby. That baby can give you bad memories if you decide to have it. Personally, if I got raped, I would not want a baby. If I had it, it would give me bad memories. Also, I wasn't trying to have a baby, so I would not be able to take care of it. On the other hand, if I had intercourse with my significant other and got pregnant, then it would have been my fault. I was the one who chose to do it, and I know if I do it I could possibly become pregnant. If I wasn't stable enough to take care of the baby, I would still have it and try to make ends meet. However, if i wasn’t able to take care of it i would consider putting the baby up for adoption. personally I wouldnt be adle to just get an abortion because that was my fault that I got pregnant. I have mixed feelings about abortion. I don't think it a good thing, but I think it depends on the situation.

  • Godo topic choice and good job replying Regan! Your summary is ok. It could be a bit better organized and a tad longer, but I am glad it is focused on your thoughts and opinions.

  • My opinion on abortion varies depending on the situation at hand.  Personally, I think that being responsible for killing a fetus would be a horrible feeling that could never be forgotten. However, if a women was faced with sexual harassment, then I can understand why she would desire to have an abortion. I think many people jump to conclusions when asked about this topic, but it is important to look at each situations from the women's perspective.

  • I obviously think that people should be responsible when sexually active, but bad things happen sometimes even if protection is used or if birth controll is used. Also, obviously they shouldn't be required to give birth as a result of something horrible that happened to them. Also, nobody should be required to do something with their body if they don't want to. Just like you can't be obligated to give blood or donate a kidney to keep someone else alive. And If I was a fetus who was aborted... I really wouldn't care because I wouldn't know because I simply wouldn't exist. 

  • I agree with multiple of your points it's tough to be a male and argue this point. Such as being violated like if a female was raped. I just can't justify killing a innocent child no matter the situation. But women have there rights to make that choice themselves I couldn't justify putting a child up for adoption no matter what no matter the financial situation or how life is going that's your child and the child is your responsibility. 

    • Yes, exactly 

  • There's been a lot of talk about abortion and whether it should be allowed or not. I do not like it, but I understand in some situations. If a girl was to get raped, she had no control on getting pregnant. That's a time where I would support her and her decsion. babies are very expensive and difficult to make time for especially when we are young. Then if a couple was fooling around and not being safe and the girl gets pregnant that is on them. They should've been more careful. It is now a consequence to their action. People just need to be more careful and they need to think things through before they continue with their actions. 

    • I agree. People need to be smart about it. If they get raped its not there fault but yes people need to be carful. 

  • The topic of abortion is a very sensitive one. We all have to remember that everyone has different religious beliefs and economic situations. Personal beliefs on abortion depends on different things like the enviroment that we had growing up, our parents, and the different acceses that we had to social media. I personally believe that abortion should be a personal decision and not a political one. 

    • I agree with you that its a personal dicision and not a plitical one. I also agree with you thats its about religious beliefs. 

  • I think abortion is okay. if they really wanted abortion to be illegal what about the people that get raped? I would understand if they made abortion only court issued. Like if someone got pregnant they could go to the court and get issued an abortion.
