Pro or Con: Abortion

[koreancuber]

I know you guys have seen a lot of controversial threads, but this is for my debate class. So, are you guys pro or con on the topic of abortion and why?

Poll plox. I'm not going to enter this conversation, but I'd think it'd be much better to see which choice is more popular when statistics are right there.

At first, I thought you were watching Dan Brown again...seriously, even I think he's being stupid lately.

Pro choice is not the same as pro abortion.

 

[Muesli]

I think it should depend on the circumstances of the people involved, the circumstances of the pregnancy and the wishes of the families.

For example, if a girl was raped and left pregnant an abortion should be allowed. Likewise if a condom broke and other methods of contraception failed.

 

[koreancuber]

I should've made a poll. Can a mod make a poll for this thread?

This
But I am still pro abortion

Implying that this issue is finished.

I think you should have to pass a test to have a kid.

THIS!
Yeah yeah!

(It's almost kinda like eugenics, and would prevent super stupid people from raising super stupid children!)

Pro-life. Killing innocents is wrong.

What does that have to do with this subject?

On topic: I really can't see any situation at all where giving birth to an unwanted child is a good idea.

How would the unwanted child feel about that?

It wouldn't, because it would be aborted

Well I say holding a woman's reproductive system hostage because a clump of cells has more rights than she does is wrong, but everything's not as black and white as you make it seem. What if the mother's life is endangered by the pregnancy? What if the pregnancy was the result of rape?

Agreed.
If they knew they were gonna have one, then they should face the consequences and not get an abortion.

If abortion is legal everytime a condom breaks, the rate of condoms being reported broken is going to absolutely skyrocket in this country.

I wasn't saying that. The couple should have to still pay for the procedure.
