What are you all? It's a pretty controversial topic so I don't want to start a flame war. (exactly what i want to do)

I don't really care. I've had people complain to me about either side so much that I've just decided that it's in the eye of the beholder.

pro choice as long as it is a choice.....

the real question is, what would you all do if your gf was preggers she wanted an abortion but you really really wanted to have the baby?

@Fork; I put it like this in the shoutbox a while ago. I can see why people are Pro-Choice, and why people are Pro-Life.

I literally can't imagine me being the one who wants to keep the baby

Totally, 100% pro-choice. And I can easily say I'd have an abortion if I got pregnant any time in my young life. Children are a lifetime, full-time job.
As far as the father wanting the baby, pretty much the only thing to be done is a lot of talking, but if the girl is determined to have one then I don't see why she shouldn't do it. If the guy doesn't want I do think it's his responsability to support the child, after all it takes two to make a baby.

Do you count your age from that moment then? Life can't begin at conception. It is little more than two yet-to-fuse separate cells at the moment of conception. Life begins much later in my opinion.

Absolutely, but what if it's the other way around?

Personally, I think that if anyone is silly enough to get someone pregnant in the first place accidentally, then there probably not capable of caring for that child in the first place. With the amount of contraceptives out right now the laziness that results in unwanted children, it would be hard for me to say that abortion is totally wrong. So, for that reason I agree with abortion - to an extent - simply because ending the 'life' before it has time to think and feel for itself would be saving it from a lifetime of an unhappy child. Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone, or even most, many people probably have unwanted children that they have brought up brilliantly, I just think abortion should be there as an option for those who can't.

I do think there should be a time at which the option should be removed. I'm not quite sure what time the brain develops into a functioning thing that can think and feel, but I'd say a short while before then should be the limit. If the child is discovered to have issues that are terrible then I'd say abortion should be available later on, but only if doctors agree that the child will have a totally unhappy life. Relatively 'small' issues like downs syndrome shouldn't be aborted though, I'm talking extreme pain and lack of quality of life. That said I would agree with abortion if the mothers life's in danger.

Depends how the pregnancy happened. If it's because you were a dick and didn't wear a condom, and were just lazy and inconsiderate in general, then I think it is your responsibility. If it happened by accident despite any precautions taken, then maybe you have a leg to stand on, but generally, I tend to think it's the man's responsibility to provide some support because I don't think it's a man's right to demand a woman gets an abortion. Also, a man can walk away, the woman has to live through the pregnancy (which as I've discovered recently is really even more unpleasant than I had realised). I think really the man has it fucking easy.
