I never have. I do think it's a woman/couples choice an she/they have a right to that. However, if you know that you don't want a baby, you should do everything possible to prevent it.

I chose other because I have no had an abortion, but I would not say it is wrong. I'm not anyone's judge. I believe in my heart that women have their own reasons and we cannot ever truly know what they're going through. Why judge and put them down and take away their rights? A VERY close fam member of mine has. She had a high risk pregnancy that developed into severe complications and she had every reason to do it. She was already rsking her own life very much and it would hurt me so bad to hear someone say mean things about her decision. Like I said, we do not know a person's circumstances or reasons. I was... raped at 15 and now, I totally see how women having the right to HER OWN BODY is ok. Think about that? What if all these people who said it's wrong were raped. I know I couldn't have ever given birth to my rapists child and if I had been MADE to give birth to my rapist's child, I'd have gone through a much harder time with it. I don't think any person has the right to take another woman's rights away. I also consider those women who have abortions and truly don't want their child. Why force it on them just to hurt the child? That only causes child neglect, abuse, abandonment, etc. I would rather a woman abort than to have the child and be FORCED to keep it and the child end up being un-loved, un-wanted, abused. Those who condemn and judge and object to abortion are only harming the child. Real thoughtful!

Anyways, I would never have an abortion. I'm not necessarily FOR it, but I think it being an option is a good idea. If abortion isn't legal, girls WILL find ways and that will only result in them harming themselves and possible dying. I'd prefer them have it done professionally. I'm unable to have children now and I'm only 21. I had 2 babies and lost them both. I couldn't imagine giving one up, but even I, a woman who won't be given any more babies, a woman who lost the children she loved and wanted, would not judge someone else for their decisions.

I'd prefer abortion be always an option for women. Not every abortion is a result of an irresposible girl. I'm not God it is not my place to judge and I wouldn't think any less of a person for their decision to abort. In a world where people who abort are HATED (I MEAN TOTALLY HATED) the last thing I would do is turn my back on them. I think it's sad that a girl has to live with it, but everyone should have support and no-one deserves to be judged.

Just thought someone might find this helpful after reading so many of you say you 100% totally support a woman's right to do as she wishes with her body (KUDOS TO YALL! I'm so glad to hear that!) I thought I'd post something for those who really are serious about a woman having those rights. You can sign a petition on Mycare2.com to help protect those rights. We've been working on this issue for over a year now and a lot of people refuse to bother with the petitioning because they think 'oh, what can one little person do.' Well, one person can do everything! We've actually managed to save 3 women already who were being imprisoned, abused and stoned! Just thought some of you ladies (and men?) might be interested in signing that petition. If you are, you can always message me if you need help finding it. We've all been spreading the word for over a year and sadly, not many people believe in supporting that right.

Yes, only if my life was in serious jeopardy and the fetus was too young to be viable outside the womb

I believe abortion is murder because it takes a life. Abortion also OFTEN-not always-does irreparable harm to the woman physically and/or emotionally. How many mothers do you know who would say, "I wish I had aborted my child?" vs. how many women who've had abortions regret that decision?

I voted no it is wrong, but I believe no it is wrong for me. I do not believe myself to ever get an abortion, I lost a child naturally and this was horrible, I do not think that I could ever chose to do this even if this was a rape child. I am all for women's right to chose I just hope women choose the right chose for them, as I do.

I currently have two sons I am 22years old and I do not work am a stay at home mom. I do not even have drivers license, I do have a high school diploma but this is all. Some may think I am irresponsible, but I take care of my boys and they are perfectly healthy and need for nothing. I am one of the most responsible people my age. My husband was laid off for just under two years timing was not right for our youngest, but what the hell he was worth it. Husband did recently find job though!

I have not had an abortion, nor would consider one. I don't think abortion is wrong, I would just rather put a baby up for adoption than terminate it. If you ever look up partial-birth abortion.. ugh, its crazy. I won't get on my soap box. I believe everyone should have their choice... I just feel that an abortion would psychologically/emotio nally scar me. Why go through that, suffer the 9 months and childbirth as a consequence and grace a couple with a newborn baby that they want (the list is LONG and they will take babies with diseases, down syndrome, etc.).

I'm rather surprised by the results of this poll. I can say it is not the result I would have predicted. Learn something new about the world everyday

Who knows, if I get pregnant at the wrong time...and I haven't finished everything I want and it could jeopardize my future I may, it also depends on who's child it would be...if it's with my boyfriend...I would almost definitely keep it...I don't know...I hope the situation doesn't come up.

yes i had one because my ex cheated on me on my so called friend. but now im happy and have a son w my bf of 5 years and are very happy.

If I fell pregnant, I would have an abortion in a heartbeat. I've actually recently considered calling around and finding out where my options were should the worst happen. But I've always been extra careful, so I have never needed to.

I would never get an abortion, to me they seem wrong and against human nature...Just my opinion though, i do understand some times why you need an abortion (health problems, ect) But, I myself would never get one. Each to their own.

I'm all for women having the choice for an abortion, sometimes it id the best thing for them to do at that point in their lives or the situation they are in. Birth control is hardly 100% effective. Also, some women know they will not be able to give a child up for adoption if they carry it to term, it's hard not to get attached to something you carry inside you for 9 months and feel kick in response to things you do.

No way, No how and never have. I was 16 when I had my first child. I had the appointment for the abortion set up, the day came to go and I couldn't do it. SOOOO glad I didn't, my son is AMAZING in every way! I have 6 total now and would love more.

wow, touchy subject all.

I'm all for legalized abortion because if it's not legal, women aren't going to stop having them; instead, we're going to revert to back alley abortions. And if you think abortions are bad now? Infertility, infection and death will skyrocket. And that's something I don't want to see affecting the population of our country.

The law (and science) defines a fetus as a fetus, not an actual human being, unless it is killed against the wishes of the mother. To call a fetus a baby is misleading and false.

I have nothing else to say on the matter.

This is the first time in a public forum I've said this, but yes, I had one in college. I don't regret it one bit. I can't live in the past and dwell on the "what-if's".

I would get one if I felt like it was necessary (not exclusive to my life being at risk, just for the record). However, I am definitely of the mind that I go absolutely out of my way to ensure that I won't be in the position where I should ever need one. And if I do, I'm well organized and obsessive enough I'm confident I'd be able to have the pill-shot version, rather than the "surgical" version. Which really doesn't matter, but all the same. I just think it's important to note that even though I'm totally supportive of the right to abortion, and know that I would get one myself and wouldn't feel guilty about, and that that doesn't also cause me to replace other forms for birth control with abortions. It's not one or the other, it's all of the above lol
