The idea that I wouldn’t exist if my mother had decided to have an abortion doesn’t fill me with nearly as much trepidation as you seem to think it will.

As Melanie said, it’s just another form of birth control. If my dad had worn a condom, I wouldn’t have been conceived. So what?

Your belief that people who know that abortion is a woman’s right are so selfish that their minds can be changed if they only stop to think “Ooooh, if my mum had had an abortion I wouldn’t be alive” is laughable. And sad.

It’s her body. It’s her right. End of story.

Soon after you were conceived you were no more than a clump of cells.
This clump of cells was you at your earliest stage, you had plenty of growing to do but this clump of cells was you none the less. Think about it.
Aren’t you glad you were left unhindered to develope further.
Safe inside your mother’s womb until you were born.

I’d like to see an ultrasound in every clinnic to provide a more informed choice,
before going through with something they may regret.

I’d also like to see effective birth control made available to all who can’t afford it.

I am a 98% pro-lifer, 2% Pro-choicer, who has no religious convictions at all . I didn’t need the fear of god or anything else to come to my decision, just a good sense of what is right and wrong.
You see we were all once a fetus. Is it beyond the realm of possibilities that when your mother first learned she was carrying you, she may have considered her options? What if she had decided to terminate? Would that have been OK?
You would not exist, if you have children they would not exist, and your (husband or wife) would be married to someone else. You would have been deprived of all your experiences and memories. In this day and age with terminations being so readily available and so many being carried out, if you make it to full term
you can consider yourself lucky. Lucky you had a mother that made the choice of life for you. Don’t you think they all deserve the same basic human right, LIFE?
I’m all for contraception, prevention is certainly better than termination.
Did you know you can get an implant that is safe, 99.9% effective, and lasts for three years? Just think girls not even a show for three years, wouldn’t that be great? I think too many people rely too heavily on the last option (abortion), I think if abortions weren’t so readily available people would manage their reproductive system far better resulting in a fraction of the number of unwanted pregnancies.
World wide there are over 50 MILLION aborted pregnancies each year. In America 3,500 terminations carried out every day, that’s over 1.3 million every year, 50% of all cases claimed that birth control had been used, 48% admitted they took no precaution, and 2% had a medical reason. That’s a staggering 98% that may have been prevented had an effective birth control been used. Don’t get me wrong, I suspect the percentages in Australia would be much the same.
Just a lot of unnecessary killing.

At the point of conception is when life began for you. This was the start of your existence. Your own personal big bang. Three weeks after conception heart started to beat. First brain waves recorded at six weeks after conception. Seen sucking thumb at seven weeks after conception.

I am convinced that in the not too distant future, people will look back at many of the practices of today with disbelief and horror.

Want to know how to find humanity-?

True humanity can only be achieved, by concidering others/ caring about others, as much as, if not more than yourself.

you need to consider a few things:
1) for over 2/3 of the pregnancy the foetus is nothing more than a parasite on its mother – totally incapable of independent existence.
2) a collection of cells does not constitute a life – only a potential one. Life = viable.
3) abortion is rarely regretted. Why? Because children remain dependent for many years. You have to want them to be around.
4) if abortion is safe, there is no reason for it to be rare. It is, after all, just another method of birth control.

3,500 per day / 1.3 million per year in America alone.

50% of that 1.3 million claimed failed birth control was to blame.

A further 48% had failed to use any birth control at all.

And 2% had medical reasons.

That means a stagering 98% may have been avoided had an effective birth control been used.

Bill Clinton once said that abortions should be available , safe and RARE. He is a very wise man.

I’d like to see an ultrasound in every clinnic to provide a more informed choice before going through with something they may regret.

I’d also like to see birth control made available to all who can’t afford it.
