Just a Random Thought

yeah, it does stink. but no matter what it is, somebody is always going to abuse their rights.

I am not sure this sounds like a "pro-choice" conversation.

yah, it seems to have gotten a bit off topic. what i was basically saying is that i just find it odd to think of the man, or woman who thought of taking a baby outside of a mothers body. this is something that back in the day, would have never even been thought about by doctors.

but then i think, maybe an abortion was first thought to be helful in only dire situations, such as a woman being diagnosed with cervical cancer just as she finds out she is pregnant. then this 'abortion' technique becomes a life saver. the mother clearly couldnt under go cancer treatment while being pregnant, and the baby would be growing in a very unsafe environment and may not survive till birth. this is clearly a case where abortion is a good thing.

but of course there are those 'oops i did it again' women who have abortions because they are now as common as plastic surgery.

basically, i wonder why abortion was even made possible and i dont agree with why certain people have abortions, but i am very glad the choice is there, because in certain situations i feel it may very well be the best choice for the mother.

A lot of women in the past used coathangers. As you can imagine, this resulted in a lot of deaths. Perhaps that could have helped shove it along?

i'm sure it did, which is just another example of how legal abortion procedures were first intented to help save lives.

Makes me shiver when I think of all the back street abortions that have been performed.... I for one am glad that they made it legal, at least it's safe and performed in a sterile enviroment.

me too. i am glad that it is legal today....because if it werent, like everything else that illegal......people find a way

i was reading some anti-choice article, and they were trying to state that no woman ever used the coathanger method.

i personally don't know any that have, but try and tell that to someone who did, or knows someone who did.

sounds like a bunch of antichoice propaganda to me. :/

just another reason to like whoopi goldberg [and apparently barry manilow too]...this came from an anti-choice/pro-birth website....so they make the lone pro-lifer sound like a victim

I remember when Abortion in this country was illegal and if you were too poor to travel to Europe, It was a back room dirty, Meaning not sterile, operation many times performed by men who weren't even licenced doctors.

There was a movie about this subject back in the early 70's in it the abortion resulted in the death of the girl, it sounds a bit like the new Romanian film.

Abortion has been around Forever. There was so much that I posted in MrO's comments that I don't want to sound like scratched L.P(left-ie proselytizer);P

But my Great Grandmother in depression and pregnant with her 11th, someone told her she would abort if she drank kerosene,. She did and almost died, the baby did not die but was severely damaged and she ended up with 2 more for a total of 13.
