I'm pro choice,
Even if all precautions are taken, there is still a chance that women can fall pregnant. Also bringing a child into a world of misery isnt always a good idea. There are also medical reasons why an abortion should be allowed.
As for the prolife people, go target all the ****head drug users in this world.
My brother had muscular dystrophy and died recently (just before his 19th birthday). I loved the guy to death, but from a logical point of view i have to ask if it would have been better if he wasnt born at all? I dont want to sound like a prick, but the 10 years of suffering he went through (it starts kicking in at age 8) was horrific. It caused my parents to separate, caused massive financial problems and was incredibly tough of myself and my sisters.
So had my parents known that he would be born with MD, should they have the right to terminate? Its bloody touchy, and i dont know if i want to know the answer. But bringing a child into the world to suffer seems cruel.
So to all those living nice lifestyles, you dont know what its like for someone with a terrible illness. So until you see the suffering first hand, you honestly have no right to impose your beliefs onto others.
Very touchy subject.
Interesting question though ---- What happens if the father wants to keep the child, but the mother wants to abort? At the moment it seems to be the mothers choice, but last time i checked it requires at least 50% of the effort from the father.
So if a mother wants to abort, can a father request the mother to have the baby then give it (legally and physically) to the dad? I reckon males should have a choice in the matter as well.
