Emily think about it a little harder then, how can you possibly be against abortion, it is an incredibly stupid position to take. because if you make abotrion illegal than you have young girls in back ally's with coathangers doing it them selves. Which is incredibly dangerous, would it not be better that they are in a medically controled enviroment, such as a hospital?
Hmm, well I'm not emily but I'll answer you on my behalf - I don't agree with abortions for the sake of convience, but I don't think they should be illegal because of the exact same reasons you mentioned.

Making criminals out of theses poor girls is a crime in its self.
Oh, I agree completely. People who do that disgust me just as much as the people who have abortions for the sake of convience.

"abortion is murder", actually no, its not. For it to be murder the fetus has to be alive, to be alive it must have a certain amount of brain activity, which until part way through the second trimester, does not actually occur. You cant kill what is not alive.
Technically you're right...

...but personally I don't think too about about whether or not it's "officially" murder, I think more along the lines of, 'legal issues aside, is an abortion for the sake of convience right?" and I answer 'no'

"It encourages people to be irresponcible!"

Well so do condoms, and all forms of contraception, and you really dont want to get rid of contraception, unless you want America to be like africa is now...
Agreed, that's definitely a poor argument and it makes the pro-choice argument laughable when that argument is made for it.

"Its against gods will!"
JUst as silly, if not sillier than the irresponsible argument.

What about non religious people then? Should they have their personal freedoms diminshed because of your beliefs? So much for the land of the free.
Erm, to a point they shouldn't. But when the well-being of another person (or matter that is growing into a person, for the techincal ones ;)) is in jeopardy I don't really think that people deserve much freedom if the abortion is for the sake of convience ;)


Sorry guys but you haven't got a case.[/QUOTE]
