    If a woman wants to practise an abortion it doesn't matter if it's legal or not. She'll do it anyways and in most cases without leaving proofs of it.

    A woman needs to have freedom over her body. It's a natural right. Yes, abortion should be legal within reasonable parameters, but it must not be treated as a form of birth control.

    Only in case of rape and in case the mother's life is in danger. But not a woman who wants to have fun and irresponibly gets pregnant. It's not a game.

    Mother creates life, mother takes life, and it doesn't get more natural than that.

    If mother or parents chose to terminate combination of their genes, let's be it. Most likely showing that their DNA combination is a failure. Doesn't get more Darwinian, isn't it?

    But on other hand if we consider that parents DNA combination is a human being regardless of its state of development, shape, and life experience, then we have to admit that abortion is a murder of a human being.
    We need a definition of human being with emphasis on what age it receives human rights protection. Is it when parents genes combine, or at 3 months? Maybe at birth, or age 18?

    Hey, this is timeless issue that exists as long a as human kind. It can only be regulated by law, but the outcome will never be satisfactory, morally justified, philosophically put to rest, never.

    Yes, it's a murder, but mother should have legal rights to do that.

    You can say so, if you talk about diets or plastic surgery. Children, even if they're unborn, are another human beings, not just "part of woman's body".
    Fetus isn't a parasite - it's a child, that's way I thnik that abortion is a murder. It can be legal only in one case - if woman's life is in danger.

    If you are MALE "it is none of your business".

    If you are FEMALE it's your own choice" Yes or NO

    IF you are religious, and this is your POV, "butt out". Go to a Religious forum .

    Wow, women in the US have evolved so far ahead of the rest of us that they can now fertilise themselves?

    There is such a thing as "envitro fertilzation," and "artificial insemination" .

    sooooooooooooooooooo yes, a women can "fetilize themselves if a women (anywhere in the world where the technology is available) wants to by-pass the MALE we can.

    Indeed, but thats immaterial to the debate. If anyone goes to all that trouble to get pregnant it is because they want a pregnancy and the resultant child. There wouldn't be an abortion, not unless there was serious medical complications anyway.

    As to your comment that it is not the business of the male, I disagree. The male is just as entitled to the right of free choice as is the female, to deny any male the same right as any female is discrimination.

    Heh, if you're atheist - butt out. Go to an atheist forum.

    Yes, I'm religious. But, as I must worry you, my opinion about abortion doesn't come only from my religion. I just can't catch the difference between killing unborn children and killing baby who is born, but still dependent to parents' care. But nobody votes for women's right to kill born babies, do they? Child is always a child - and murder is always a murder.

    The thread here is: Should abortions be legal?

    It has nothing to do with a man's rights, its about the legality of abortion. The only persons that would be punished if an abortion is done illegally (wherever in the world abortion is illegal) is the WOMEN, and the Dr. or person (whether they are male or female who performs the abortion.)

    This thread is now OFF TOPIC

    THIS is NOt a religious thread nor a religious forum

    Better yet, do start a new thread about religion according to Europe Forum rules.

    Well I'm glad you realise what the topic of the thread is at least. In simple English, as it takes two people to create a foetus, i.e a male and a female then both have an equal right to an opinion and a free choice (to vote) on whether an abortion of said foetus (created by both male and female remember) should be legal or illegal.

    I have at no stage mentioned religion, only the legalities which is in keeping with this topic.

    Sheesh, why so agressive?
