Abortion should be legal.

+++ You're list of harmful effects was exaggerated. My link shows only a few effects that I remarked upon. Your website is a biased, conservative website that listed some effects that may have happened or not, but do not happen often. My website, on the other hand, is a medical website that had the effects and explained why you would get them. But the point is, LEGAL ABORTIONS ARE TYPICALLY VERY SAFE. Illegal abortions, which will come if abortion is criminalized, which is proven in history, are almost always unsafe. But abortions are so important to women that they are willing to take the extreme risk. +++ My medical website link does not show breast cancer to be a serious risk. And I do not believe your link. My link is medical. Your link is a biased conservative website. And these women are willing to risk breast cancer, if your link is correct. It is and should be their freedom to suck out that embryo if they want to take the risk. The women, individually, should decide if they want to risk breast cancer. +++ Some women are known to be prone to death before the birth. Certain women are not healthy enough to give birth. These women will die without abortion. +++ Many Supreme Court Justices based their Roe vs. Wade vote on the fact that some women are known to die without an abortion. You cannot ignore this. I did present this in the first round. +++ A woman who was RAPED should NOT have to carry around a child around for nine months only to give the baby to an orphanage. A teenage girl should not be socially stigmatized because of one mistake she made. As a juvenile, she should not have to pay so dearly for her actions. Especially, for a little mistake. Adoption does not suffice for women who will DIE from child birth. +++ Somebody who is being paid to have sex cannot be raped by their client. That is just illogical. >>> You can't prove to me a fetus is not human unless scientists have without a doubt proved it! Show proof. +++ . http://www.health.state.mn.us...: Minnesota Health Dept. . http://www.nytimes.com...: New York Times Neither of my sites are biased. Your sites are. Mine are medical. >>> A lot of women don't know how traumatic this can be. +++ A lot of women know the potential truama. You cannot limit people's freedom like that. Raped women, teenage girls, women who will die should not be subject to a child. If their knowledge is your concern, then a good alternative is to show people the potential effects before getting an abortion, not forcing these girls to have an unwanted child. +++ Your link is irrelevant. A poll can say anything. This link says that most Americans are pro-choice: . http://www.naral.org.... And I still didn't say I wanted to use the sexist argument! >>> But the United States is "for the people, by the people. " Still don't see proof for the "fetus isn't a human" thing. +++ Exactly! Our government is FOR THE PEOPLE! Give them their freedoms! The Constitution uses the word not to restrict the government 22 times! The founding fathers would be disgraced by pro-lifers. . http://www.health.state.mn.us...: Minnesota Health Dept. . http://www.nytimes.com...: New York Times Neither of my sites are biased. Your sites are. Mine are medical. >>> Legalized abortion is more common now than when it was illegal. +++ WOW! Of course, legalized abortions would be more common because most people don't want the health risks with illegal abortions or to break the law! Illegal abortions were common! They were typically unsafe and killed the woman and the baby. Why would you want this? You wouldn't. +++ God does not oppose abortion. God opposes murder! Abortion is not murder! God, obviously, wants a mother to love her child so she has to suffer with it for nine months. This is why you see a lot more fathers abandoning children than mothers. Forcing a woman to have a child is against God's plan. My mother, a Christian, got an abortion as a teenager. She knows that if she would have had that child without wanting to, she would have neglected it. +++ This is the US Dept. of Health and Human Services saying that adopted children are often abused and neglected. . http://www.acf.hhs.gov... +++ You cannot force the Christian religion on all Americans. Abortion is not immoral. Abortion is logically beneficial. Christian conservatives are the ones opposing abortion for false religious reasons. We have the freedom religion. Religious conservatives are destroying this country. +++ A person with a birth defect is fully developed for them. But they can think, feel pain, react to noise. They are a person. +++ If a woman if raped, she should not be punished by carrying around a child for nine months and the emotionally turmoil of having a kid in the world that is her fault but is unloved. That kid is probably unloved, neglected and abused. These type of children are statistically more often criminals. Some women WILL DIE from child birth because they are not healthy enough. Teenage girls should not be punished. +++ You did not even debate! You just copy and pasted "abortionfacts. com" a religiously conservative website. That is unfair. +++ Raped women are already victims. Why would you force these women to have a child only to, most likely, neglect it, so it can become a criminal. Or give it up for an unfair adoption, so it can be neglected and become a criminal. +++ Some women are not healthy enough to have children. THEY WILL DIE without abortion! Why would you kill these women? You wouldn't. +++ Teenage girls make little mistakes and should not have to pay with their lives. +++ Illegal abortions included women shoving hangars down themselves. There were other ways of doing this but the fact is that these abortions were unsafe. Often, the woman and the baby would die. This is how important abortion is. You do not want illegal abortions! +++ The Constitution restricts the government with the word "not" 22 times! The founding fathers do not want to criminalize what a woman does with her own body! Thank you for the debate.
