Abortion. Right or wrong?

This is another topic given to me. ‘Abortion’  Right? Or wrong?

I don’t think there is an answer really to this because you can never say what you would do unless you were in that situation and you never will understand how the person feels until you have experienced it yourself. Also even if you find yourself in that situation when abortion might be a option the situation for you is not going to be the same for someone else, so you can’t say oh you shouldn’t have done that.

I guess it’s more of a point of view thing; I would never stand here and say if you have aborted your baby, you are a bad person, because I just don’t believe that they are! And I don’t think it is right for anyone else to either!

Personally from my point of view, aborting a baby is an extremely serious decision and should only be done in extremely serious situation. Some situations when I would deem it acceptable, not right, but acceptable to do this are in situations when the women have been raped. This is because the prospect of raising this child might remind you too much of the terrible thing that happened to her and therefore anyone who says that the women are ‘wrong’ to abort in these circumstances is in fact being a good person. There are some religious views that say it is wrong, no matter what but I just cannot see how anyone could live with themselves making women who have been raped, live with a child that would remind them or their attack for the rest of their lives.  Now I know the response some people would give back to that, they might say well why the mother doesn’t just adopt the baby once it is born instead of killing a precious life. Yes I do agree with this and ideally I would suggest this as well but the pregnancy itself is meant to be where the mother bonds this the idea of being pregnant, having a child of their own. But in a rape case the bump might just remind her of what has happened and bring up awful feelings. Therefore I don’t think you can say that it is ‘wrong’ for the women to abort a baby in this situation, you may think it is a bad decision, but not ‘wrong’.

I don’t think I can tell you what I would do if I was in that situation because I am not in, but for any other reason I do not see why killing life is the right thing to do, so I would never do it! I would suggest other options like adoption but again I think it would be really hard for me to do that as well, but if I did not have the money and my child would not get a good quality of life with me at the time, I think I would have to, for the sake of my child. for me, a child would only be a idea if i was in a loving, married relationship, so therefore I would have planned it, but i realize this can not always be possible for everyone.

Opinions please. what would you do. And do you agree with what I have said?
