    100% for Euthanasia.

    It's OK for our society to sympathisr with a poor wee doggy who's suffering, just send it to sleep, but when it's a person all shrivelled up TELLING you they are in * agony and want it to end......nope, sorry......you'll just need to put up with it here's some * morphine tablets.

    I think a person wanting to end their own life, is a totally different argument from a woman terminating the life of a child simply because it's an inconvenience.

    I get that people raised kids in poor curcumstances but I don't think someone should face living below the bread line if they're already struggling and happened to get themselves knocked up through a mistake.

    As for the bold part, If people can manage and, even in situations through rape/incest, bring up a child then fair do's that's their choice - many others couldn't face it.

    So you're so worried about the babies, that you wouldn't risk trying to adopt because you might sound dodgy?

    But women should be made to have the child no matter what the circumstances?

    I would actually love to adopt but because of outdated rules, i know for a fact that myself and my wife wouldn't be allowed to and there would be no point because of that.

    Abortions are carried out up until the 24th week, they are viable at that point albeit with a lot of help from the medical profession.

    Edit, seen its been mentioned already.

    It's such a complex and emotive subject matter.. and I think it's important that there's a choice for women.

    However as someone who's adopted I'm pretty relieved. :giggle1:

    I'm pro-life, except in cases of incest, rape or if there is significant danger to the mothers life.

    no!!!!! life is precious, if you can't take what is given to you don't do the act. there are very few instances where "it" should be permitted but it has become a form of contraception in modern life. very sad to see the stats on abortion these days, shames our society big time.

    whats the difference 12 or 24 weeks, its still the same life at 12 weeks????????. at conception it is a life, the morning after pill is too late. in this modern society with all of the technology and contraception available it is laziness that gets people "knocked up". guys who cannot keep a civil tongue in their troosers and girls who cannot keep their knickers up. Contraceptive injections last 3 months and are pretty much 100%, if you get "knocked up" then that is the chance you take and you should live with it.

    too much of this "oh the time isn't right" or "it will interfere with my career" or" i can't afford child support". don't do the fookin deed then

    Read the posts on here & some limited reading on the net about the abortion process (which is * horrific) & I still can't make my mind up on the topic.
    It is a women's choice as its her body, I just wish that choice had been made BEFORE conception.

    Ideally abortion wouldnt be necessary, but we dont live in an ideal world. Some people seem to be advocating that the second a woman gets pregnant, her body is not her own, but is the property of society/the state! Thats what it amounts to.

    A human life is not the property of anyone, never mind the state/society.

    I'm honestly not sure.

    There are a lot of circumstances you have to factor in. I'd like to say I am pro-life but then who am I to chastise someone else for choosing to make a different choice.

    It is one of those things that I'd probably only be certain of my true feelings for if I was put in the situation myself with a partner.

    I support the Bill Hicks view on it!

    Exactly, she should be able to do with it as she pleases. The foetus is not yet a human life, only a potential one.

    You don't get to decide when it is or isn't a life.

    No, society does...24 weeks, and that is fine by me.

    Clearly it is 'life' the second the egg is fertilised, but we have a duty to all concerned to be rational about it, and for me we are.

    Again, just because it's fine by you and society has chosen that particular timescale doesn't make it gospel.

    There's a reason it's one of the most vastly debated subjects in the history of planet earth.

    Yes i agree, but from my vantage point, we have got it about right.

    There is an argument that many women end up giving birth because of the 24 week rule. It gives many time to reflect, to imagine etc....and the opposite may be true if the time was to go down by a long way to say the 12 weeks talked about, as it is likely that many would panic, and have the abortion quickly without having time to think it through, without having a fair time to 'humanise' the foetus.

    Ultimately, people will never all agree, but for me, we have it about right.

    Saw a girl on " GP : Behind closed doors " having a tiny slow-release hormone rod inserted in her arm.

    Provides protection for three YEARS ! can be removed by the GP in minutes
