What, so she should be punished by having the state dictate what she does with her own body?
That's a common misconception (no pun intended). If you think murder, rape, abuse, torture, abortion, whatever is wrong you do not have to respect the choices of others is such regard. Abortion is not a solution to social, medical or mental health problems, but rather a compounding factor in such problems. Women deserve better. People should educate themselves as to what abortion really entails; those with a strong constitution might Google partial-birth abortion. There are many tens of millions of abortions (majority female) worldwide every year, an annual Hidden Holocaust.whether or not I presonally think abortion is right or wrong I have respect the choices of others.
I did not generalise from an individual incident. I made a general point and then let people know why I have a specific interest in the subject. Are you suggesting that it is not the case that women who have abortions can have long term psychological problems as a result (Note that I did not say they this always happens)?Do you usually generalise from individual incidents like this? I know more than one woman who has had an abortion (and some more than one) who have not been obviously unduly physically or mentally affected by it. If they have been then they hide it very well.
I don't understand how you are unable to grasp what the unborn child might feel about all of this.
In my opinion an abortion throws up some pretty serious issues for the unborn child - a lot more serious than the mother!
I dont disagree with this - of course there is, but I suspect the worry of a child being out there who may or may not make contact some day is a different kind of issue than something that is definitely completely in the past.
and Thats Where We Differ. I Believe In The Rights Of The Mother Over The Rights Of The Unborn Child. People May Disagree With This But Its My Opinion.
There's more to it than her body... there's a life growing inside her.
She should accept responsibility for what she did (got herself pregnant) and give the child up for adoption if she doesn't want the inconvenience of having to raise it.
I think having to put up with being pregnant for 9 months is a reasonable compromise.
Does this theory apply to those that have been sexually abused and/or raped or even those in abusive relationships, having a child in these circumstances will mean that the abuser will be in their lives forever. Get off your high horse if you haven't been in the position of an unwanted and unexpected pregnancy you have no right to say that it is reasonable to carry a child for nine months then give it away. Quite frankly I know two single mothers (one is an alcoholic) who I can honestly say have made a pigs ear of raising their children and I often think that in these cases abortion would have been a better option for all concerned!
Who else should we abort? Unintelligent people? Disabled people? People you don't like?
Surely it is an horrendous abuse of human rights to force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term that she would rather terminate?
Surely it’s a horrendous abuse of the rights of an unborn child to kill it because it’s mother chooses not to live with the consequences of her own actions (where the pregnancy is a result of rape it is a different matter).Surely it is an horrendous abuse of human rights to force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term that she would rather terminate?
Retroactive abortion… I don’t think it will catch on.Most of the junkies on Middle Abbey Street for a start. Too busy in work to list the rest.
Do you think a young girl committing suicide because she cannot cope with an unwanted pregnancy is simply someone who views it as inconvenience?
Another fallacy. Studies show that such unstable 'young girls' are far more likely to attempt suicide post-abortion than post-childbirth. They need counseling and support, an abortion is not a fix for suicidal tendencies. Flax, if you think about it, do you think that one unborn child should have less right to life than another based on the circumstances of its conception?Of course I think abortion should be considered for extreme cases like suicide . . or an unwanted child from a rape

I thought the Golden rule of Irish pub chat was to never discuss abortion, religion or Northern Ireland politics!
People are for it and people are against it. You are never going to change peoples minds but you could end up causing pain to someone even if you don't mean to by using words like 'killing'. Its an emotive subject that I am sure has affected alot of people including myself. Its fine to have opinions and people have the freedom to express them but nobody has the right to pass judgement or try to impose their moral beliefs on others.
