the child was never meant to come into this world, the mother too young to help herself gave birth alone before 'disposing of the evidence' & shortly after bleeding to death herself on the way home.

Fourteen years old, clearly old enough to have sex but not to deal with the concequences because of the stigma placed on abortion & the fear the church system had put in her.
Women are not shackled to men in our countries, we make our own decisions. I am old enough to have sex but am unmarried & don't intend to bring a child into this world until i'm ready to have one. Maybe my soul will burn in hell in the next life for murdering a child, but i'm much more concerned with my quality of life in this one

That's very sad, it's too bad she didn't think anybody would understand or help her that she had to go through that by herself.

I see nothing morally objectionable about abortion. The media tends to spin this issue into a "Good vs Evil" type of thing with out realizing that "Good" and "Evil" are nothing more than points of view. I find that the true evil, the evil that rests in the power of our religious and social leaders, is on the side of the anti-choice community.

To put it simply, I am pro-choice and a complete elitist as far as this issue is concerned.

You see, I definately think that there is something morally wrong with abortion (with a few exceptions), however I think it must be legal. People must have the right to choose. I think if you have an abortion as a form of birth control that makes you a morally reprihensible individual, however, it is not the role of a government to force a set of morals on it's populace. At least, not in a democracy. Being immoral is not, and should not be illegal.

Does it really matter what I think or believe? People have sex, start unwanted pregnancies, and get legal or illegal abortions. And none of that can be stopped at this time.....
