Hmm... does this count as politics? I know it's a big political issue in the USA, but it isn't really here...

Anyways, I'm against it except in circumstances where the baby is highly likely to die and the mother's life is at risk also.

I'm not one or the other, abortion is a hard subject. For example, if a young girl is raped, she should have the right, but other times it's just a show of neglegence.

okay...

abortion was in the first place permitted in the UK because a doctor performed an abortion on a 13 year old girl who was raped by an american soldier...

this is acceptable

nowadays abortion is performed on anyone who wants it

this is not

i therefore believe that abortion should only be legal in 2 circumstances:

1. if the potential mother will probably die if she has an abortion, but will live if she does not

and/or

2. if the potential mother became pregnant through being raped

[End of issue]

EDIT BY ERIATARKA1: It's not the end of the issue, I am still going to reply. Also, that sort of idea does say to some people that you believe only in your opinion and will not allow others to voice theirs


edit by plqx in response to eriatarka1: i didnt mean that - i meant that that was the end of the issue from my point of view - i.e. that is my opinion of the matter and therefore it is the end of my contribution to the matter

I would have to say, I agree with the first instance, but the second is still, in my eyes (and you CAN voice your opinions and reasoning) murder. This is a bit extreme, but I guess I don't get my point across otherwise: the baby itself is innocent

True, it's not the child's fault if it's dad was a rapist.

After all, adoption after birth is always an option.

BUT I wouldn't make it illegal in those circumstances, I feel that would be demonstrating a lack of knowledge or understanding of the point of view.

I'm opposed in most areas, including in cases of rape, as I count it as being murder. However, I am undecided in cases of risks to the life of the mother.
