And some of those very teen moms turn right around and have continuous unprotected sex or continue without the usage of birth control pills, only to get pregnant yet again. A lot of females abuse the option of abortion.
Any way, I'm against the act of abortion unless said female was raped or had to abort because the doctors urged that the pregnancy is life threatening.

Is the woman not carrying, nurturing and giving birth to the fetus?
Did I miss something in sex ed?

Can you imagine what America would look like if all the women who had the abortions in the past 20 years kept the baby? It'd be a total disaster

Its not the same as a person. Its using anothers body as life support and therefore forfeits its right to life at the expense of another

For those who say its a "woman's choice" I just want to throw in the fact that the woman did not self spawn a fetus. So unless the father is not in the picture, the father gets a say. No "woman's choice" crap. Sorry not sorry.

If it's done in the earlier stages of a pregnancy (which I believe most abortions are), then I don't think it's a matter of dealing with someone else's life (but that's a different issue entirely).
By using that argument, however, you can also say that a woman is dealing with someone else's life by giving birth to them, possibly to a situation which the child will not benefit from at all (poverty, being raised by abusive parents, drug addicts, etc). Which one is the best for the child?

There's also rape.

Exactly.

16, broke, no college or money... will go on assistance and the parents will pay. If you live in LA there are so many teen parents and it is so sad.
You are right but it isn't right to go through that....at all. Have a child when you are ready so you both can live normal lives

It is dealing with HER body. She is the one that has to go through all the pain, potential high risks, weight gain, nurturing this infant when born etc... So in essence yes she is dealing with her BODY and she has the right to make that decision

a lot of females do not abuse the option of abortion. but so what if they do? should people be punished for having sex?
and how exactly would you implement 'rape only' abortion?

Why punish the child for the actions of the father/rapist?

I also think that many abortions occur with young girls that don't want to get in trouble with their parents (and who shouldn't be having sex in the first place), and probably think they will get kicked out if their parents find out.
Yes, your parents will be angry (and rightfully so), but they will accept and help raise the child. This "unwanted child" becomes a child they could not imagine their life without.
But yes, every case is different, and sometimes the child really would have a terrible upbringing, which is why this topic is debatable.

Pro-choice. I can understand both sides of the argument though. But, for the most part, women should make the choice for themselves. Do what u want with your body.

Actually, I don't. There a lot of people who had horrible childhoods and ended up becoming murderers, child molesters, thieves, rapists, arsonists, etc...
Anti-Choice:
What a double negative impact on our society. A woman whose life is ruined FOREVER and a child who is unwanted that will most likely grow up to be a criminal.
Pro-Choice:
Gives the mother a fresh start. Everyone makes mistakes.

Since we all started as an egg in a woman's ovary, a woman deciding to become sterile would be inhumane going by your reasoning, correct?
Remember, an embryo/fetus is an extension of the mother up until the birth and umbilical cord is cut.

The father is allowed an opinion but the womans choice is always the most important. ejaculating inside someone doesnt give you the right to force them to go through nine months or severe pain and difficulty against their will.

Pretty much. But at the same time I would never dare tell a female what to do with her body. I don't agree with it, but if that's what you want to do, go ahead, I won't hold it against you or anything of the sort.

Is the father carrying the baby for 9 months, though? 
I don't really think this is a valid argument unless maybe you were married/in a long-term relationship, agreed to have a child, and then the mother changed her mind... in which case they should talk it out and come to a decision they're both happy with.
