If you mean safer and cheaper than abortion giving birth is far more expensive and dangerous to the mother than an early abortion.

This is a yucky situation that's hard to classify. I understand why the woman would want to abort, but I would hope that she would choose to give it up for adoption rather than abort. I mean, it isn't the baby's fault, it's the rapist's fault.

I guess it not my decision. But I still feel a need to have an opinion about it. Abortion just seems like a last resort to me, like that hopeless scenario you'd never want to come across. Essentially taking a life, it should never be done flippantly.

Well there's a good chance the kid will suffer from something called Reactive Attachment Disorder while growing up and upon discovering that they were conceived by rape will be even more upsetting to them.

People say that God wants to suppress peoples sexual instincts. I think it is more that God doesn't want sex without love and responsibility.

Abortion is a good thing. It gets rid of unwanted children and the women does not have to endure months of pain and getting their vagina wrecked.

Concerning rape, She should definitaley abort it. There is no reason why she should have to suffer even more after being raped.

Hey those of you that support abortion how about watching this video, and btw the speaker is a woman, so you have no business claiming that she shouldn't have a voice in this.

This woman doesn't have a say on the decisions of any other women.

If a girl is raped and pregnant she should be able to abort. If a girl is not raped pregnant , she should be able to abort. It is a basic human right to be able to decide what goes in one's body. And no man, or woman has the right to impose his/her view on the girl making the decision. No one.

Edit: Specially not gods who seem to be completely absent when actually needed but like to complaint about things.

Well then, it's Gods fault for not creating humans to only want sex in conjunction with love and responsibility. So now you've turned from a self-hating mangina troll into a religious fanatic troll, eh?

This is incorrect on both counts. Giving birth is 10x more dangerous to the mother than an early abortion, and costs more than 4x as much (assuming that nothing goes wrong). Abortion = ~$500, childbirth =~$2K.

Should the aforementioned hypothetical woman have an abortion? Probably not.

Should she have the *right* to a medically safe abortion? Yes.

That is all.

Well the love and the responsibility can be shared collectively to ease the burden.

The issue is moot for at least the next 4 years. But, go ahead, argue away.

I agree with this, and I rile at the assumption that people who are pro-choice are pro-abortion. Whether abortion is a good thing or bad thing (I consider it neither, but I do consider it a last resort) is neither here nor there. It should be the individual woman's choice in all cases. Taking choice out of the equation is always wrong.

To me using abortion when the birth control fails is like casting the love spell when the love prayer fails.

This is actually not at all simple. I say this coming from a partially adopted family. Adoption should never be considered a simple solution. I won't go into the reasons. It just isn't. But people always seem to think that's the easy answer. My guess is they've never really thought it through.

Ooookay. So would rather have died by the hands of a doctor? Before you ever had a CHANCE to live. It is actually THAT simple, research it: the mother will feel guilty and will suffer more physical pain than just giving birth to it, not to mention if she does not get therapy she is be VERY depressed. And as for the baby, well it is just plain sad, I mean it is DEAD, and no one seemed to care, it is like the baby was just junk needing to be flushed out and you are saying you wished you were treated like junk and just be thrown in some trash can? You have some ISSUES. At least the woman that couldn't take care of you CARED and respected life and thought of you as a child and deserving of LIFE!

As someone who has experienced both childbirth and abortion I'd say yes.
