What do you mean? I am pro-choice, I just don't think that passing the vagina is the defining moment.
Unhappiness/poverty/etc. are not reasons to kill someone. So it's pretty simple. At some point a fetus becomes human and has rights like every other human. If you think passing the vagina (or whatever method) is a fundamental change for the baby/fetus, I disagree.
i'm talking about the quality of life of the child, if it is going to be poor and the potential parents knows this, why is that not a valid reason for having an abortion?

i'm just saying if the parents to be don't think they can cope with a child and give it everything that every child deserves, other than adoption what's a better solution than an abortion?
Because other then that children are starving and brought up on rubbish tips all over the world. I don't know if abortion is the right choice. Many many people want to adopt. I'm glad I've never had to make that choice and I hope none of my chilren ever feel like it's thier last option.

yes or no?
is abortion wrong?
want to see what most people think about this...
I get a little cross-eyed when women have had more than one. Once should be enough.
There are times in a woman's life where pregnancy is just terrifying and it can be a very difficult decision.
I think the morning after pill is a very good option for those who need it.

so when is the choice of abortion the 'correct' one?
and why are they not 'cop outs'?
All I'm saying that aborting because you're poor is a weak one, especially considering that there are other alternatives if you can't raise a child. At least TRY and find an adoptive family. If that fails, go ahead and get yourself scraped.
IN MY OPINION: Medical reasons for abortion are far more valid.
Consider women who have the misfortune of contracting German Measles while pregnant. Who wants to give birth to a blind, deaf and deformed potato who could very well kill you while its still baking or on its way out.
Consider other women who's offspring decide they want to be a totally different blood type to mommy and end up poisoning them.

Originally posted by trev33I don't see the relevance of the reasons. The baby/fetus either has rights or has not. If it has "personhood" rights then no reason is valid beyond danger to the mother's life, if it doesn't have rights then any reason is valid as it is the mother's choice to make.
and when would decisions in having an abortion not be be 'idiotic' in your opinion?

Different blood types mean that the baby or mother can start making antibodies against the other, usually its the baby. The parasite inside you starts fighting you because it doesn't recognise the yummy yummy blood coming from the naval cord as a good thing.
Google it.
