Actually, a majority of women who have abortions do not regret them. (Guttmacher Institute) Also, not everyone who gets an abortion is at a "young age." Teenagers get abortions. Women in their 30s get abortions. Mothers get abortions. People who don't want children get abortions. Abortions are not just for teenagers.

abortion and murder as defined by man (a dictionary, and, our laws) are deemed 'different'. but they are BOTH 'killing'; "to cause death". an unwanted pregnancy becomes a moral issue between the woman and whatever higher power she may believe in, or, not believe in. a decision at a young age about taking a life can be haunting in later years.

Speaking of abortion: If there is anyone reading this who doesn't wish to visit a Crisis Pregnancy Center (because let's face it - they're only there to scare you into remaining pregnant) - please please please contact the Abortion Assistance Blog! (http://abortionassistanceblog.tumblr.com/) They can help you with things such as transportation, possible funding, child care, overnight stays, or moral support. Most clinics in GA are located around Atlanta, so perhaps this will help someone. I know we live in an extremely conservative area, but that doesn't mean we're "abortion free." 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in their lifetime, and they all deserve respect and help. Also, for those who wish to have unbiased, nonpolitical counseling - Exhale is amazing. (exhaleprovoice.org) People are there to listen to you and you will not be judged. Love to you all<3

Exactly. Last time I checked, women are people too - and (gasp) guess what? We're smart! We know our bodies! We know what's best for OUR bodies. We can make our own reproductive choices without your help. I know that totally damages the whole patriarchy thing you got going for ya, but boohoo you'll get over it. Once again, abortion is not murder. The definitions are different.

Spoken like a true male. Abortion is the termination of an unwanted pregnancy. When a man carries a baby to term let me know. Especially if it is an unwanted pregnancy. Time to move into the modern age. There are plenty of deaths by guns but most yee haws will protect the right to carry a gun. You cannot pick and choose what you want to be the laws you obey. I do not recall the ten commandments saying you can kill if you use a gun.
