well its a woman's body, but there should be some penalty for careless life styles. after all its not like catching a disease and going to the doctor to get some treatment. this is a life. oh and if a woman can't afford a child and or is worried about the care that is lacking from the man, such a woman should keep her legs close

Abortion.... touchy, sensitive topic.... i think the decision should be left solely up to the woman, its her body. Why carry a child and not wanting that child, some argue that in the event that a woman was raped, then it is ok...... I say woman do ur thing ur body, ur wounds to bare....... UR DECISION ensure u can live with it.

Very well thought out and directed argument. relative to the sin of taking a life. however, I have seen women on the road side begging with their kids there beside them.. in the rain under bus shelters etc. I just don't think its fair to the child. Especially when its a supremely low income family and they have 10 - 15 kids. thats just ridiculous how will they eat, the availability of jobs and other social and economical factors will make their life unnecessarily difficult. Sometimes this is how the youth end up in crime. Mother cant afford to school them, they par on the roadside knock heads with the wrong dudes and.. gangs initiations and he's or she (don't be surprised girls in them gangs too)... Look past the first 5minutes children are a life time commitment. Don't have one if you cant afford to maintain.

There are two sides to this abortion story and each side has valid merit. There is the pro-life who believe that the foetus should not be killed and the pro-choice whom believe that it is the decision of the woman as it is her body.If we lookf rom the bible perspective then we all know that killing as a sin as one of the commandments states"thou shalt not kill". In some cases such as rape the woman should have the right to decide if she wants to carry that child .If she does that child might be abused and ill-treated as the child will remind her of the incident. On the other hand, some women will take it for granted and do not take any neceessary procedures to prevent pregrancy as they know that it can be terminated with the slightest of ease.Also, alck of funding should not be a reason to terminate a pregnancy,i am sure that many strong ,black jamaican woman have raised their child with little monetary income and they have survived. I for one can testify to that as my mother raised five of us with little or no help from our "fathers" so why is it that us women today cannot do the same. We can do it if we try and thus saving the life of an innocent child.

its a tricky question in my opinion. sometimes people cant afford children. i say wait till your financially stable enough to afford parnting child. till then wear a glove and if your knocked up abort.. its a last resort as you should be tking preventative measures
