Abortions - Yes or No?

[Nazgûl Killer]

This thread I have opened because this is a discussion I want to make, and because the last (Trolling) thread was closed, with a lot of justifications, by our good ol' Justinian, I want to hear your opinions!
Yes or No?

Please, explain each statement even if you picked in the poll.
(If this poll is biased in your eyes, TELL ME! I will remove it! Also, I will ask Justinian to keep a close eye on this thread, so behave and stay on topic!)

[The Dude]

Whatever she wants.

[Theseus1234]

Yes

[Lord Romanus III]

Yes, all the way.

[Bongfu]

Yes, we do far worse things to humans than kill them before birth.

[Orko]

Yes, up to the 2 trimester.

[Watchman]

Yes. Also because people do it anyway, so it's better they at least get it done in proper medical institutions by properly trained doctors to minimise the risks and complications to the mother - the alternative after all being back-alley quacks and infanticide...

[Helm]

Well best to avoid them if you can. Better education on contraception should be omplemented and if that fails the adoption system should be considered first.

[Watchman]

The pro-lifers are free to adopt them...

[Chlodwig I.]

All the way, if the baby is disabled, the mother was raped, or if giving birth would be a threat to the mothers health/life.

For everything else (accident, single mom, to costly to raise a child, already got 11 kids etc.) 22nd week

[Playfishpaste]

At whatever point of pregnancy the mother desires.

[Arch-hereticK]

Whatever will help the suicide rate.

[Helm]

Little point in trying to ban them entirely because women will just have them done illegally anyway and put their lives at risk by doing so. It being their body they should have some say in the matter.

[♔Jean-Luc Picard♔]

I have this thought in my head screaming that it ain't right not to give someone the chance to live.

[Mega Tortas de Bodemloze]

I choose 1st trimester. In one aspect it's the women's body and thus her domain. One another view it is the couple's concern.


Morally taking a life is wrong. Abortion is the taking of a life. Thus...wrong...

that's why the state should make abortion legal and put everything in place so that the abortion can be done rapidly instead of making them wait weeks and weeks

A woman has the right to abort her pregnancy if she wishes to. It is her choice, not some moral nerds'.

that's right after all, only failures fail to raise children properly, better give them a chance to abort

[Mr. Pink]

Yes - all the way.

And this is done to death, make this the definitive poll and sticky it forever, mods.

[magickyleo101]

I'm undecided. There's risk either way. If you're wrong and the fetus is a person then you've let someone be killed. If you're wrong and the fetus isn't a person, you've forced a woman to make a huge change in her life and drastically restrict her options for nothing.

[C-Rob]

yes up to the 2nd... It just seems unreasonable to not allow it at all, and if you're going to allow it, it seems to me that it should be allowed that far along but after that, it's a person whose life can't be ended without it being murder. By then the woman will have had enough time to make a decision.

[Eastern Roman]

Fetus is not a person, just like a cell of the human body isn't a human.
