Hi, I know that this is a very unwinnable debate no matter what your point of view is. Too many people have their opinion and nothing anyone can say or do will change their minds. I was just wondering what everyone's take on this very controversial issue. Go ahead, yell at me for bringing it up. It is ok  |

My take on this...hmmm....you cannot legislate morality...abortion? Ever since women discovered which herbs of the field would promote spontaneous abortion...it has been done...and it will continue, with or without permission...and now of course, there are many legal entanglements besides the moral implications. There are no easy answers to abortion. Ask any woman who has had one. |

Well this is so weird...today is my son's 12th birthday, and when I was 3 month's pregnant with him I had an appointment for an abortion. I was an unwed mom to be of 18, scared to death and working for minimum wage.. Well today the child whose abortion appointment I missed...turns 12. WOW! It seems like yesterday, and it seems like another lifetime ago. I was parked outside the clinic for about 20 minutes trying to get up the nerve to go in...I who had gotten an A- on my term paper just the year before on what the abortion process does to a baby(the saline solution burning the babies skin off, the suction tearning it apart....all while it is still alive). And as I sat there thinking over all I had to gain and lose when I walked into the clinic, I started to cry, and realized that in my heart for the rest of my life I would feel like I had murdered my child. I couldn't do it, I had to face the facts, tell my parents and decide whether I would keep the baby, or put it up for adoption. Well I finally told my parents, and the guy I was engaged to talked me into coming back to him, I had left when I found out I was pregnant. We ended up married a year ahead of time, no insurance, but we made it. We did it, I kept that baby, and you know what??? I told that little boy/man the story of his coming into this world and he feels so special, and you know why? Because I CHOSE him, he is truly my child, my perfect son, I gave him life in more than one way. And today on his 12th birthday, I reflect back over the years, realizing that it hasn't all been easy, I gave up alot for him, like college and being childless for awhile after high school. But he is beautiful person, inside and out, very caring, very loving....he will grow up to be something awesome. I am raising him to be a good daddy and a wonderful husband....just to be the special person I know him to be... And on today, his 12th birthday I just want to say I love you Cyrus and I think you are the most wonderful 12 year old this world has ever had, I am so glad I chose you baby. You are truly my gift from God. *hugs* and *kisses* ~Mom [This message has been edited by X Angel (edited 08-13-2000).] |

My view is woman have a right to choose, the only problem is they are supposed to "choose" to cross their legs, not "choose" to erase a human life. Kay-lynn **A dream is a wish your heart makes :) |

How I feel about it matters little, unless I am the father,,,, ultimately it is how the mother feels that matters...that said, I agree with redwriter |

just one more thing--I was once asked by a friend "what would you do?" regarding terminating her pregnancy...(she felt she was too old to be a mom) all I could think to tell her was that either way, she would live with her decision for the rest of her life, and that it was up to her which result would be the easier to cope with...she named her baby Autumn Rose...smiles to all. |

Good question....personally, I could never have one and still remember the shock I felt when my doctor suggested it because of the circumstances surrounding my daughter's conception...I guess he just thought I was yet another irresponsible person at the beginning and was quite blase about it...I still remember crying all the way home, it was bad enough to find out I was 5 months pregnant but to think some doctor who didn't even know me, could suggest an abortion like one suggests having a cup of tea totally floored me... Having said that I do have friends that have been in this situation, some have seemingly made the decision without thought but inside were gutted and so terribly scared they simply refused to allow themselves to think about the consequences....others have painstakingly gone over it time and time again and hopped out of the hospital bed at the last minute... I guess it all comes down to what you can cope with and how you will manage, not everyone has the strength nor the support of parental guidance or indeed the father's support and if they don't have the inner strength...I think they made the right decision because no child should have to live with being unwanted... Ooops, thinks I rambled but I adore children... HUGS Angel: and many more happy birthday's to your son.. It's good to see so much love in a post..

Abortion...yes Jeff a touchy subject but one I have NEVER had any doubts about. A child is a child at conception. There may be valid reasons for abortion....rape and incest for example...but even then thats an innocent child. I realize that the woman or girl in those cases could be traumatized by the act but still a child is a child is a child...and once concieved every child has the right to live |

to me this is a life no matter what you can say. Be it from a rape or just a mistake or whatever the issue, do we have the right to make that decision? I fear that it's just to easy to end a life these days. The partial abortions that are performed on not just the beginning of life but when the baby has developed. I pray for these babies that have no choice to come into the world. |

I do hope I'm not opening a can of worms here but.....oh my... Let me first say I absolutely adore children, 100% over and over again, wow, just saying that and I felt my heart expand... but...it's not good saying that a child deserves to live because a child lives to become what we give them or are able to give them...some live in such absolute horror and some live to know love as it should be and to be cherished...but that has everything to do with the parenting....I could never persuade anyone, much as I hate the loss of a child, to give birth when they feel empty, when they a child as being a hamper on their life because it's the child that will suffer and surely we all see so much of that that we could never wish a child to lead a life of misery... Yes, some do find such incredible strength and against all the odds become those one in a million totally together human beings, but I don't think it is all about life really, it's about what you can give, what you have to give and whether you can nourish and support in every single way, the life that you give birth too... Hope I haven't tread on any toes, don't mean too, I guess I just saw too many sad little faces and all looking to be loved or asking why they weren't loved...it kinda of sticks with you.. But my heart goes out to every single person, whether mother or father, that finds themselves with this heartbreaking decision to make.. What I mean and I'm not picking on Paula but her last sentence sang to me....it's not that a child has a right to live but that ALL children have a right to be loved and to me, that isn't the same thing...again, that's not targeting Paula, just the way I think, hope you don't mind me using your words Paula, I know what you mean but...ultimately, I guess we mostly have love to give...

First of all, let me state my view. Abortion is wrong, period. It does't matter if the child was conceived out of incest or rape. Is it the child's fault? No. The pregnant girl doesn't even have to keep the baby and raise it on her own. There's foster care or adoption. I know that it would be really tough for a girl to carry around a reminder of the rape or incest that happened to her, BUT why should she think of the baby that way? Just because someone else did something horribly wrong, that shouldn't give a girl the right to do another wrong. Once a child is conceived, it has the same rights as every other human being. Why should it make a difference whether the mother is still carrying the child or not? We were all carried inside our mothers' wombs at one time. We were all unborn. What if one of our mothers decided to abort one of us, because we were the product of a rape, or just because she didn't want to have a baby? Elizabeth Why ME??? |

Elizabeth: I think you may ask yourself if you have the right to ask the question - unless you have been in that position... You may be or may have been and if that is the case, I give you my heart and all my love.... If you haven't: let me say, when your daughter asks of her parentage, you have to make up your mind about what to say: do you say, you were the product of rape, a violent, horrendous rape that left images hard to imagine unless you have been there or do you pretend that your child was born of love and if so, where is the father? Yes, I say father, because women don't tend to rape, we don't have the strength for that, neither do we have the ability to take, what isn't ours to have, freely.... Believe me to carry a child when the conception is that of rape...holds many misconceptions...you might dearly love the child but what if the child resembles the father? What if the child asks of its parentage? Believe me, the horrors of memories can be so distinct they belie belief and yet, you love this utterly, vulnerable, child, that never asked to be born, ut....it is up yo you to give this child all the love, the untold sacrifices and the memory.that your child was born of love because to do otherwise would be to inprison your child forever, without love..... I hope to god you have never known what I am talking about and if you have then I wish you the lifetime of peace that deserves to be yours, you earnt it lady, you well and truly earnt it! Because to be raped, is to take the very life that we, are saying deserves to live, but it's love that needs to live, it's love we need to show, encouragement, support..etc etc... You know in many way I am thankful my daughter died before I had to answer who her father was or how violently she was conceived... If you have never been in this position, spare a little thought, for all the love you give, against the memories, spare a thought for how the life of your child was given, hopefully with much love, much tenderness and much looking forward to the life of a child - created with love - between two people!

Perhaps each and every instance that such a decision must be made should be assessed in its own light - with consideration for the individual circumstances... Every situation is different - Modern technology now allows us to know if a fetus will be born with brain damage... I would never presume to make a judgment on a couple who faced with such a situation.. or on a woman who's in a position to make a life-defining decision - whichever choice she makes... It is she who must live with it. |

I think that each person is entitled to make their own decision, each person has a different set of circumstances before them and it is up to them to figure out which one will best suit their life. I know people both strongly for and against abortion and they all have perfectly logical reasons for feeling that way. It's merely a matter of choice and opinion... What is right for one person may be totally wrong for another. It's not our job to judge people based on their decisions so until I am in a situation as such I'd rather reserve my right not to chose one way or the other. |

Here I go tossing my two cents worth into this debate. Abortion is a very touchy topic to talk about so please don't get angry at me if you don't agree with what I'm going to say. Abortion is so very wrong, if we started killing the young as a means of birth control like some people out there do. In cases of rape and incest however, I feel that it's ok because women shouldn't have to bear the fruits of a violent sadistic crime. I personally have been in situations where I was influential to someone who had that choice to make and I wrote a poem about it. I hope that we as a society can come to some sort of agreement about abortion and how to control the dangers and wrongs of abortion. P. J.

Ok....guess it is time for my opinion here I myself see abortion as being wrong also, however I feel compelled to agree with so many of you who have stated that in cases of rape and incest that you could understand the reasoning behind the decision to have an abortion , but....does that make it right? I don't think it does. So many people today want children so badly that they are willing to adopt these babies. Anyway that is my opinion thanks for participating |

This is a painful subject for me. I adore children and can't bear to hear of them being hurt in any manner. It seems when it comes to abortion the only ones that don't have a voice are the precious unborn babies that are so carelessly thrown away like they're not even human. There are so many familes out there begging to adopt babies that I just don't understand the senseless killing of them. Will one day we decide that if we're not financially able to care for our 2 and 3 year olds, it's ok to have them silently put to sleep? There is no difference to me. A human life is a human life no matter the age unborn or not. As you can see this is a very emotional issue for me, so enough said on my part. |

When I first saw this as a topic of discussion, I kind of groaned envisioning the full blown war that has kind of become the norm for this controversial subject. I'm very happy and relieved to see this did not happen and that we are all able to discuss topics like this, state our opinion and not have world war 3 in here... So, I just wanted to give everyone a round of applause for contributig to such a controversial topic and not getting lost in an emotional war. Things like this discussion, make me all the more glad that I found this wonderful place in cyberspace Shan |

Abortion makes me wish my mom would have been succesful at killing me with knitting needdle. She abandon us, my younger sister and i when we were 3 and 1 and at 14 i found her and she had started another family (2 girls and one boy) she was friendly to the point of telling me the truth that she tried to kill me in her stomach and she did not have any feeling for my sister and i. She was young so i understand i do not hate her for that. My sister had one family and i had 11 sets of family i always felt like a burden in this world. I see too many unhappy people on this earth, retarded, mentally ill, abuse children sexually, violence on children and people in institution and let's not forget the children that become violent, killer themselves. I do not see the need to create anymore unwanted pregnancy, if you can take care of your child and have love for him good for both of you. Some people have great testimony how they are happy that they did not have the abortion because it worked out in their best interest. Sterilization needs to be more easily available for people that are not fit to have children. We have this laissez-faire attitude of just letting people having babies and then who is responsible to take care of them who who who???????????? I see some foster family that are abusing children too and there is a shortage of foster family. To many children are born just to be abuse all their lives. My sister-in-law worked in children's home and one worker was sexually abusing them we found out many years later and i met one of those children as an adult and he is a messed up person. I have friends that were missionnary in other country were the children are abandon and it makes you wonder why do we even exist. To send some money every month to feed the poor. I have 3 handicap children on diapers (25, 17, 7) and i take care of my 57 years old brother-in-law who is schizophrenic and he wishes he would not be in existence, he spent the majority of his life in institution since he was a teenager. I had an abortion and i felt like i killed someone i became a born again christian and did not want any children, we were taking precaution but 5 times it did not work and thinking it was God's will blablabla here i am with more burden for the government to take care of them when i die. When i was young i was strong i could save the world and take care of people in need. Getting older and trying to prepare for my familly in case of my death is very depressing. I am thankful for all the people in Passions in Poetry because since i have been here i have grown to be not so morose. Having all the different forum gives us a large range of sharing any kind of feeling a person can have and it has been helpful for me to read poetry. It is soothing to my soul. monique |

I know I am abit late with this but I thought I would put my input in here. First off I believe that abortion in wrong. But I also believe that people do have the right to choose. We were give that as a birthright. But just as a parent is responsible for their children so is the person responsible for the unborn residing within her body. When a person has an abortion they will take responsibility for their actions. Some feel guilt. Some feel remorse and some may feel something entirely different. If you choose to have an abortion, it in no way affects the way I think of you. Your pain is, excuse the expression but I can't think of any other way to put it, sufficent "punishment". I have no right to tell you if you are right or wrong. I don't know if I made any since to any of you but that is my nickle's worth on this. Ok, ok maybe dime's or quarter's worth. Be true.

Sigh... As an American teenager, I see this situation every day. A girl in a nearby town died of infection and blood loss after she tried to give herself an abortion with a coat hanger. She was 13. The fact that this had to happen, even once, is horrible. I ask myself, who was the victim, the child, or the mother? They were both children, both with great potential. And they should both be mourned. It isn't our place to judge, it is God's place to do that. That's my answer to abortion. It is God's choice. If the mother chooses to do this, it is God's place to judge. Not a doctor's, not pro-lifers... God's. There is, of course, no simple answer to this question, but that's the closest thing we can get to one.

I've heard many say "Why doesn't God do something about world peace, illness, send someone, a good man, a good woman, a leader, " and I've heard "where are the poets, the real thinkers, the voice crying in the darkness? I say" someone may have aborted them" Kathleen |

Well.... I will start off by saying that I am pro-choice. I don't feel that others should make such a critical decision for another person- or even a complete stranger. But I have had one abortion when I was 17... under extreme circumstances. The father was abusive and had threatened to beat my child until it became brain damaged if I didn't abort it. I had a back-alley abortion done, and believe me, I have regreted it ever since. Now, just recently, at 20 years old, I had the same problem again. I was with a great guy, whom I thought I would eventually marry, and ended up getting pregnant. He broke up with me shortly afterwards, and told me to get an abortion... literally fought with me over it. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal... I had numbed myself emotionally so much because of the last one I had, that I thought that it wouldn't be that big of a deal. So over the next few weeks, I went on not thinking too much about it. But then I DID start thinking about it, and about the fact that I had a life... a HUMAN life...growing inside of me. Now, I must let you know that because of my last abortion, I have been told by many doctors that I would only have a %2 chance of ever concieving again (boy were they wrong!). So I began to debate with myself over it. "Is this my last chance...EVER?" "Is my higher power PUSHING me to have this child?" "Will I ruin some type of destiny for myself or this child if I abort it?" ... The day of the appointment, the father-to-be took me to the doctor, and sat in the waiting room while I went to do it...(It was the LEAST he could do he said... didn't even offer to pay for it). The doctor answered some questions, and then he did an ultra sound. I did not have to look at it. But something pushed me to ask to see it. So he showed me, and I started crying. Needless to say I am now 5 1/2 months pregnant, single, and extremely happy with my decision. Although the father is in no way involved, I know I can raise this child with as much as it needs and more! I am still very pro-choice, but I DO NOT recomend abortion. And I myself will not get another one. Sorry this was so long, kind of just felt like telling the whole story.< !signature--> "It was my love that did us both to death.

Well thought I'd add in my two cents and while in some eyes i may be opening myself a little too much I still feel the need to say this. I , myself, beleive that under no circumstances that abortions should be legal. It should be made completely illegal. I know there are times when rape or other may have been involved but come on, this is a tiny little baby were talking about. I have a two year old daughter who i love with all my heart and I would die for her at any given time. I am also a single mother. I left a very abusive relationship...So abusive that he beat with a baseball bat when we found out that I was pregnant. he tried a number of times to kill her but didnt win the fight obviously. I have never regreted walking away and raising her on my own...My point being...There is always a choice to be made but kill a baby???...Why not take the proper precautions not to get pregnant?? Anyhow thats ME..No-one has to agree... ~Cherie~ |

I just wanted to come back and thank all of you for having enough courage to tell your stories and share your feelings on this very controversial issue. There are no easy answers to the question I posed in this thread. There may not even be any wrong or right answer, but we all have our own beliefs and feelings and that is what makes each of us unique. Again thank you all for participating. |

Being 18 years old, I think that if I was to get pregnant I would be able to support a baby physically and emotionally but not financially. And the questions with abortions after all the I have learned about it, I wouldnt be able to go through with it. I have a friend who just turned 18, and is the mother of a 10 month old baby. And just a couple months ago we found out that she will not only be the mother of one but two. She is now 8 months pregnant with her 2nd child. And on the choice of keeping, adoption or giving it up, she decided that she will keep it. Living at home with her parents, working for $6.00 an hour is not my idea of the life. She is very catholic. But she said she didnt believe in abortion but she believed in pre-marital sex which is also a sin. I am not going anywhere with this story and I am sorry that I rambled on and on. But the thing is if you are gonna have sex then use protection. Then there wouldnt be such a big commotion about abortion. And if you choose not to use it, then what can you say? You made a mistake and you have choices. But why risk the chance of getting pregnant when any type of protection is cheap. I mean here in Chicago where I live the government (from what I have heard) pays for girls to get on birth control. I dont know of anywhere else does it. But if its free or cheap it beats having to pay for an abortion. Sorry about going on and on!! |

Well, I am old enough to be a grandmother now, although I never had a child, have never been fortunate enough to be a mother and spend every available moment loving my child. I am an aunt of over 30 some and great aunt also, am one of five children myself...the stories told above are all so heart rendering...I believe so many things..that yes prevention should be a priority for those too young to be able to care properly..and yes adoption should be a major option..but I will tell you the laws in this country can make even adoption so hard for those who so badly want a child..to have to buy a baby..yes thats what it seems like when they it comes down to money... when I had checked into it years ago it was over $25,000 to adopt a child even through churches and organizations...and that was an american child of any background...even more so if from foreign countries...why should that be...if one wants and is capable of loving and raising a child that is unwanted or not able to be cared for why does a cost have to be put upon it..and even after why should a birth mother be allowed to change her mind down the road...maybe the laws should state that the birth mother should have her child with her under supervision and at the end of so many months her choice is final....there are no solutions to any of this..only hearbreak for some and happiness for others...I would have given anything to have adopted a child...or to have given birth to my own...and have made up for it by being a wonderful aunt and caring for any child I am around..with attention and playfulness to show them that they each count in this world... Maureen...sorry I know this was slightly off the topic but I would rather express the idea of the child after birth...not before [This message has been edited by MMoonchild (edited 09-11-2000).] |

MmoonChild~~~I seen that you were talking about the prices for adoption. When I was a junior in H.S. (2 years ago) we read a story I dont know if it was true or not but in Ireland they would sell the babies by there weight about a year after they were born. The family would get the baby nice and fat to sell. And the family that bought the baby would cook it. I found that rather strange. Have you ever read that story?? ~*Each day is a treasure box from God, just waiting to be opened*~ |

Touchy subject you brought up there. Personally I disagree with abortion unless it is for medical reasons. Even unwanted children, by there paternal family are always wanted by some couple that can not have children of their own, hence adoption. Maybe a giving birth to a child that you can not keep cause mental anguish, but let me assure you from the point of view of a woman that has been told she will never give birth, if I was to hold that child, it would feel more love than you would possibly give it in a life time |

Kirsty... although I had gone through both aspects of this conterversial subject, I do agree with you. I think that if a person didn't want the child, there would be someone out there who would, and could give it more love than any natural parent could offer. (this coming from a woman who had an abortion at 17, and almost had another one 5 1/2 months ago). And let me add by saying that I had 6 different doctors tell me that I would never or had a very, very, very small chance of ever concieving, and now I'm very HAPPILY pregnant- doctors aren't always right. Maybe I should have gotten a 7th opinion *s*< !signature--> "It was my love that did us both to death. " -Sylvia Plath [This message has been edited by SorrowsMystress (edited 09-13-2000).] |

I have flip flopped much on this topic. And the conclusion I have come to is it is everyone's personal decision. I know that me personally cound never have an abortion. I would feel like I murdered a baby, and I know I could not live with that. However, everyone has different veiws. I suppose the only time I completely disagree with abortion is when women use it as birth control instead of being responsible adults. |

Mmoonchild~~~I am being very serious. I just watched a talk show on abandoned babies. And some of the things that happened were horrible. Leaving the baby in the dumpster. God I dont know how anyone could do that. And I have read a book on "When Good kids go bad". And it had plenty of stories about teens leaving the babies in garbage cans and all that. |
