All I have to say to anyone who preaches 100% anti-abortion nonsense, is that from my experience in the medical field...people really don't understand how many abortions SAVE lives (the mother).

the only way to save the life......

ummmm......what if there is this other way, experimental new technique, that might save it, should be try that first, and well, if it doesn't work, if the lady is still alive, we might let her abort?????

I am a member of a anti abortion campaign group within my university, refuse to work in abortion clinics and give money to pro-life organisations. Not that this is anyone’s business.

Well with regard to rape, only between 1 and 2 % of rapes lead to pregnancy although some statistics will say up to 5%. The likelihood of it is low and it varies depending on what study you read so rather than everyone thronging statistics around all I would say is this. Why should the child be killed because of the act of violence against the mother. That to me is still wrong as two wrongs don’t make a right, its still murder, first the mother is raped then kills her unborn child. For me that is still wrong.
I mean nearly 200,000 out of that only 52 were aborted because the mother might die when giving birth. I think this is justifiable but would also ask why the mother should live and the child die. The mother has probably already lived perhaps 30 years of her life.

Ok...Maybe we are all agreeing and need to just fine tune the points here.
I am pro abortion for these reasons:
Mother's life is in danger.
Fetus will be born with any form of physical or mental condition.
Baby will be raised in conditions unfit for humans of any social class. ( Adoption in this case should be encouraged but not mandatory).
Rape victims.
Incest victims.
Mentally or physically limited parents.
And I am totally in agreement that abortion is not a form of contraceptive. A teen or young woman that is in perfect physical and mental stated should be encouraged to bring the pregnancy to term and have the child put up for adoption BUT this should not be mandatory by no means, that person should still have the right to choose! That being said.......I'm sure that most abortions would be done with civil and justifiable reasons.
