What do you think about abortion?
I think so that abortion, in particular elective abortion is wrong and sinful.

As the zef develops and becomes more worthy of life, so does how horrible and invasive the procedure to kill it becomes.
Personally, I think any woman willing to go through a risky, and really unpleasant, procedure to kill a six-month foetus obviously has a damned good reason, and should be allowed to do it.

This would be better off in the women's forum IMO, I'm certainly not qualified to have an opinion on abortion.
I don't like the idea of abortion, but I don't have to. As a man I will never ultimately be responsible for making that decision, and for that I am VERY grateful. Call it male privilege.
That said, I have had discussions like this with previous sexual partners following 'scares'. Not being able to make a 'right' choice at the time, we elected to choose the lesser of two evils.

I view abortion as a form of murder.
However, given the prevalence of rape, the way men are so often encouraged to have lots of sex, the way women are so often conditioned to not stand up to men, the fact that birth control doesn't always work even when used correctly, the fact that there are forms of birth control that can have really nasty side effects, the dangers associated with pregnancy, and issues with overpopulation, I can't with good conscience support a ban on abortion.

Sorry whilst I support abortion I think six months is going way to far, several preterm babies have survived with medical assistance from as early as 22 weeks. I would put the cut off point at 12 weeks unless the mothers life was in genuine danger.

I don't think any man should have a say in the matter unless he has experienced childbirth for himself.
Its not a coincidence that the majority of these prolifers you encounter tend to be male.
The word 'sinful' is invocative of religious beliefs which should be kept a personal matter. Not used to emotionally blackmail people into adopting a different social view.

WOW
Why stop there, why not age 5 or 10 or 20? Why not any dependent person? The homeless and disable, anybody that's a burden on another? It follows the same logic. Think about what you said right there, it really is an unbelievable statement especially on this site.

We all were born, one doesn't have to give birth themselves to feel the need to value and protect all human life

Hmmm, false analogy. A woman can die at any point of a pregnancy due to the presence of a foetus. Until the point that they are born, they are a parasite to the women's body.
Its wrong to tell a woman that you don't have any choice regarding having a foreign body inside you that can potentially kill you at any point.

Not the point. A man will never be burdened with the process of childbirth itself, and for the most part women take on the lion's share in the bringing up of a child.
Its said that when a woman becomes pregnant she places one foot in the grave. Who are you to tell her she can't take it out?
