Abortion
I'm sure that this has been discussed a large amount of times before on these forums, but I just want to get my opinion heard.
To begin, I'd like to make it clear that I am atheist, so there are no religious elements getting in the way of my opinions...But Atheism is a different subject and I'm gonna try and steer clear of it for now. The act of Aborting, or the process of Abortion, is the act or process of KILLING. If a couple is irresponsible enough not to protect themselves, despite money, then they deserve having a child to show them what life is really about. Abortion is murder, that's the bottom line. The aborted child could be the next Shakespeare, or Einstein, but it's not even getting a chance at life. The least that a couple could do would be to put a child up for adoption, at LEAST GIVING IT A CHANCE. |

It may be killing, but it's not murder. Abortion is legal.

What's your opinion on the "day after" (RU-486) pill? Do you support sex education in schools? (Not the "abstinence only" kind of sex education) Would you take the pill if it was available for men? What alternative to the current situation do you propose? Soyin |

Yes, I support it. Only if I was very sexually active. I propose that the government start a pro-adoption campaign or something of that genre to start letting people know that adoption is good, and you're being a big help by doing that. |
