a new excuse to buy a card. as for the abortion issue... u can never know what the person will be like until after it is born. U can never tell if it is a hitler incarnate or a cancer-curing genius or a mother Theresa type person.

and any decision on abortion should be made by the woman alone. None of these policitians, no protesters guilting her into anything. the partner should not blackmail her into doing it as some have been known to do, neither should family members. eg i read an interview with people that had experiences with abortion. One of them was a man that forced his girlfriend to undergo an abortion and had regretted forcing her ever since.

the law here states that they must not be done unless continuing with the pregnancy is a danger to the life of the mother.

Ditto.
No one has the right to kill a living being...whether they are born or not.

I tell my son who's in his 20's that I still haven't made my choice about whether to abort him or not but I'll let him know what I decide.

As for thanking my parents for not aborting me, I don't know. Maybe I would have enjoyed being an aborted fetus.

The story of King Midas hunting in the forest for the wise Silenus, the companion of Dionysus. At last, after many years, the King manages to capture him and asks what is the best and most desirable thing for man. Silenus maintains a surly silence until, goaded by the King, he bursts out with a contemptuous laugh and says, “Oh, wretched ephemeral race … why do you compel me to tell you what it would be most expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach: not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is—to die soon.”

I think Im in a pessimistic mood this week :?

Abortion is wrong. Everyone has a right to live, even babies. Except for when teenagers have babies. They wouldn't know what to do with it.

You have obviously not met some of my relatives.

Just because something is living doesn't mean killing it is "murder."

I have no moral problems with abortion, and I'm glad it's legal. What I have a moral problem with is unplanned children being born into conditions that are unsuitable and where they are unwanted.

I was an accident, and mum could have had an abortion. But she didn't. Just think what would happen if she did...

I am glad I did not have a kid at 16 with my boyfriend at the time....i was not ready to be a mother...we were not compatable as partners (even though we stayed together for 6 years)...It woulda been a really big mess for everyone involved....I can't even visualise what the kid would have been like...me....extremely mousey small and akward introverted teenager...him..250lb 20-something...Our personalities could not have been more divergant.
Nobody even knew we were dating at the time.

My mom had some health problems when she was pregnant with me, but had a good doctor to help her. I am glad to be alive. I had some difficult times as a child, but my life now is great.

well I'm glad I wasn't aborted, despite my life being as crappy as it gets half the time

my ex on the other hand, well she's a pain but not enough of one to fall into the "should have been aborted" category, she isn't ready to be a mother herself, so if she finds out she's pregnant she carries out her own abortions by taking paracetamol to induce miscarriage because she is plain daft and too scared to get it done properly

I do want kids one day, and will leave it up to my partner to decide if she wants to carry on with the pregnancy, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it

9catmom's mom, you made a great choice. :) Fine specimen indeed.

Pikachu, can relate to the ups and downs of life but besides that, your mom made a good choice.

Poopy, you are awesome and your mom made a great choice too!
