September 05, 2008 at 19:29paulthesaysI'm going to qualify my "yes" with, she should realize that she could go to term and put the baby up for adoption.
September 05, 2008 at 19:26Live Crunchsayscoqui2008 some politicians think they shouldn't.. or its gods will and they should leave the baby.
September 05, 2008 at 19:33RenegadeScribesaysOh boy. Here comes another massive Plurk. It's Karma Time!
September 05, 2008 at 19:33paulthesaysThen again, isn't it the woman's decision?
September 05, 2008 at 19:35callkathythinksit should be legal. it should also be the woman's choice.
September 05, 2008 at 19:35jlarivieresharesthat there are a lot of alternatives; often the risks of the abortion are actually greater than carrying the baby to term
September 05, 2008 at 19:42bo_binasaysYES - they should definately be allowed to do so
September 05, 2008 at 19:46technochiqsayscarrying a baby to term when there is anger/loathing may have psychological effect to both the mother and the child
September 05, 2008 at 19:53jlarivieresaysyeah, but abortion has a slightly more permanent effect
September 05, 2008 at 19:56technochiqsaysi guess it boils down to the decision/choice of the rape victim... preferably after undergoing psych counselling
September 05, 2008 at 21:37digtlhippiethinksit's surprising not a single no.
September 05, 2008 at 21:40weezydosssaysher body, her choice, no matter the circumstances.
September 05, 2008 at 21:46DSNonly if she's a licensed physician who has been properly trained.
September 05, 2008 at 21:48pritcharddesignyes. yes. yes. Did I mention yes?
September 05, 2008 at 21:56shafgoes against the flow... Yes but no if it's after 3months. The foetus is fully developed within a month of conception.
September 05, 2008 at 21:58shafhave any of you seen 1 month yr old foetus's ? It's alive... why terminate a life, what exactly have they done to deserve that?
September 05, 2008 at 22:01Chellesaysrape or incest yes. i can understand why a woman wouldn't want to carry it to term and put it up...it's a constant reminder.
September 05, 2008 at 22:01Chellesaysi personally would never do it...but it's their body not mine.
September 05, 2008 at 22:07dandellionsaysShaf, because development of that life that is not wanted is not a quite promising.
September 05, 2008 at 22:18shafdandellion depends on the psychie of the mother. It's an emotional scar not only to carry it and also to kill it No win
September 05, 2008 at 22:21shafHowever parenting is the win if she's up to it.
September 05, 2008 at 22:23shafAbortion would lead to questions like - ' What if ? ... ' for the rest of your life
September 05, 2008 at 22:42keanexsaysI think in cases of Rape it should be up to the mother 100%.
September 06, 2008 at 00:00LizsaysI believe so, yes. The girl/woman had absolutely NO choice in the matter.
September 06, 2008 at 12:07Ginkgoisgoing to share her unpopular opinion: No. If a rape results in pregnancy, there are *two* victims, the woman and the baby. A very difficult
September 06, 2008 at 12:08Ginkgoisand painful situation, but it's not justice to allow one victim to kill the other in the name of healing. Also, abortion is an act of
September 06, 2008 at 12:08Ginkgoisviolence against a woman, and you can't heal one act of violence (rape) with another (abortion). It's a grave disservice to women to lie to
September 06, 2008 at 12:08Ginkgoisthem & tell them abortion will help them heal. More
September 06, 2008 at 12:21dandellionsaysif abortion is violence against woman, it's still violence that she should be free to do upon herself.
September 06, 2008 at 12:21dandellionsaysForbiding it is violence against her freedom of choice.
September 06, 2008 at 12:20shafwould rather say that abortion is violence against the unborn child
September 06, 2008 at 12:33Ginkgosaysshaf and dandelion, it's violence against *both*
September 06, 2008 at 12:33GinkgosaysI disagree that anyone has a "right to choose" to do violence against an innocent person for any reason - 2 wrongs don't make a right
September 06, 2008 at 17:38av3rysayswomen should still have that choice. my girlfriend was raped, found out she was pregnant, but kept the baby. but she found it extremely
September 06, 2008 at 17:41av3rysayscomforting to know that the option WAS there, should she choose it.
September 06, 2008 at 18:00dandellionfetus is NOT a person. And it might develop in a very unhappy person if it is unwanted and product of violence.
September 06, 2008 at 19:33CatsmackingsaysI think women should be able to do abortion whether they were raped or not.
September 06, 2008 at 19:38DianesThoughtssaysI believe it is up to the individual.. Women should alway have the choice raped or not
September 06, 2008 at 19:43Ginkgosaysdandellion: that's a nice fiction ppl like to tell themselves
September 07, 2008 at 00:37DSNif abortion is legal anywhere in the world, then making it illegal here in the US is a law for the poor only...
September 07, 2008 at 01:49zadii don't like this question. infact theres a lot of angry swearing going on in my head right now
September 07, 2008 at 07:49dandellionaskswhat's a fiction? That fetus is not a person? My cat is more person than the fetus.
September 07, 2008 at 07:47dandellionasksor that the women (and men, after all) should be free to decide about their reproduction. Well it's not a fiction out of fascist mind.
September 07, 2008 at 08:40Ravensaysyes, especially in cases of incest as deformities may occur. If the mother feels the child will live a miserable existence, I believe
September 07, 2008 at 08:39Ravensaysit is not only her choice, but her duty to protect that child by sparing it from that life.
