I have a theory

I can only speak for/about myself, and why I agree with abortion. When I was very young, I started menstruating at 11, and I knew even then, that I never wanted to have any children. I could not get "fixed", it wasn't legal, at any age, so later, in my mid-late teens, I had to have an abortion, even though I was taking "the pill". Even then, I could not be neutered. Now I am finally in my 60's and post-menopausal so I don't have that worry any more, but still, when I was married the last time, my husband would not let me abort "his son"! So I gave birth to a girl, and she's been a big disappointment to both of us; he only wanted a "son" to carry on his family name, and I had to suffer thru a pregnancy and birth all for nothing, really. We both did try to be good parents, but the kid turned out rotten anyway.

I agree with choice because no should demand I forfeit my body to the State for 9 months. Dead bodies have more rights than a pregnant women in America right now! I find that disgusting. Btw, I've suffered 3 miscarriages and never once were we given a death certificate or a body to bury. So it's only when it serves a religious agenda do fetus's suddenly become "people". Really until a certain age in gestation, I believe it's only a baby to those who love the fetus as proved by lack of death certificates.

"They don't want to put their futures on hold to make sure their children have great futures. " someone doesn't want children.period.yes that means they don't want to give up their future,freedom,dreams. So they choose themselves rather than have a child they dont want and will end up resenting. Is there something wrong with this to you? If so that's messed up,because knowing you don't want a child and deciding not to have one is the most responsible choice an adult can make,and in turn makes someone not a big child...

You clearly have no personal experience of the situation, and are basing your opinion on incorrect assumptions and bias. Parents used to put aside college funds because parents used to be able to afford to buy a house and raise a child on one salary and still have savings. That's not the case for most people any more. Abortions are carried out for so many reasons: the mother / parents do not want children, cannot afford to raise children, there are medical reasons at play, psychological issues, violence, abuse... The idea that everyone who has an abortion is too immature to care for a baby is so woefully simplistic.

I have fertility problems but I'll never get involved in a woman's right to do as she chooses with her own body. You're not the one who will have to raise the child, you don't have a say. We already known that the legalisation of abortion coincided with a reduction in crime when those children would have become adults. Forcing women to have unwanted children is not good for society. There are already many unadopted kids living in care - who would raise all these kids if the women were forced to continue with these pregnancies? I'd much rather women had a bundle of cells removed than had children they didn't want and wouldn't raise properly.
