Lasr night while getting high, I was talking to my buddy about how a mutual friend of ours got some girl pregnant and how his life was ruined. And I was like if that was me I would just pay the money and get an abortion because having babies at a young age is not cool. So Ryan was like there is NO WAY I would kill my baby I don't care what happens. And he went on to tell me how it was murder cuz it's in the bible and all. So after hearing this a akward pause ensued, so I'm like I think the only reason religious people are so anti-abortion is what i some chick gets knocked up and she's carrying the baby Jesus and she gets scared and aborts it and we all die for her mistake.

Now I don't know what to think two views and which one is right?

I think bringing another unwanted baby into the world is irresponsible. Especially if the parents are two teenagers, it'll really screw up their lives, too, to say nothing of the life that's in store for the baby.

I can see where people that are against abortion are coming from too, though. That just means that they themselves shouldn't get abortions; they shouldn't go around telling other people what they can and cannot do.

I think the debate about abortion goes much deeper than is it murder or not. There are a lot of psychological issues involved, it's a very emotional experience. Also, what you consider a "problem" could be a blessing later on in life. My thoughts on the subject are if someone wants to abort a baby then by all means do it, it's not my baby so I have no room to say yay or nay; but there are lots of people who cannot conceive and would probably love to raise your "mistake" because it will bring them nothing but joy.

I think, as WNB said, bringing an unwanted child into this world is irresponsible. Christians aren't against abortion because they could be killing the potential re-birth of Jesus, they're against it because it's killing period. There was a time when Christianity was more than politics and useless rules, however - we have since forgotten those times.

When it becomes murder is a matter of opinion. When is a fetus anything more than tissue?
If you are a bible believer then even "spilling seed" is wrong.

It's a curious thing how "christians" are against abortion but all for war and the death penalty.

God is Pro-Choice (aka Free-Will).

^^^^^Exactly^^^^

Some people believe a fertilized egg is the beginning of life...By that rationale, any woman who has had more than one period is a mass murderer.

to quote jay and silent bob from dogma, " a woman's body is her own freakin business"- if the woman chooses to have an abortion, then its her decision to to deal with the anxiety of it. if abortion is made illegal , when some teen gets knocked up their gonna say, "spend all your money supporting it, or give it to some people you dont know"- thats messed up

pro-choice all the way

It's an old George Carlin routine...He was saying all fertilized eggs do not reach their destination. Those that don't are flushed each month with a woman's cycle. Hence, the "serial killer" or mass murderer joke.

Nah, I think I will stick with pro-choice. I guess it all depends on when you think "life" begins. If it were really a baby, than everytime there was a miscarriage, there would be a funeral.
The census would count the embryo or fetus as a person.
The mother and father wouldn't say I have 2 children...And one on the way, they would say I have 3 children.
