		<description>I am wirting a research paper on late term abortion. I think that abortion should only be even a thought in a persons mind when you are under the age of 14 and you got violently raped. Otherwise there is adoption. Also, when people say to the extereme cases that it should be legal, I have read countless stories abou children being born premature or with a defect. They have turned out just fine. Also, I am an older sister to a down syndrome kid. He has to be the best person i know. Yeah he is different but he acts likes any other 14 year old boy. If my mom would&#039;ve even thought of getting an abortion, i wouldn&#039;t have this wonderful little brother to share my life. Just think, what if you were that baby.</description>

		<description>i am 19 and a mother and i see no reason to do such a thing when there is adoption to great families and safe surrender sites there is so many more options and i just wonder what is going thru the mothers head when they decided abortion is the best option,less grief of giving up on your child by adoption, abortion i think is the biggest give up especially in this type</description>

		<description>I was violently raped when I was 17 and gave birth to a beautful 10lb baby boy just before I turned 18.

I never considered causing pain to another human to be a solution and saw him as my silver lining. I now have a 16 yr old, 6&#039;4 son who has been an absolute delight to have in my life and others&#039;.

Obviously this isn&#039;t the only reason people have terminations and I am no way an expert on everyone&#039;s situations. But I would hope people would give a thought for life.

What never makes sense in my head is - what kind of person applies for the job of pulling a baby from it&#039;s mother&#039;s womb, ramming scissors onto the back of its tiny head (sometimes decapitating it) and proceeding to suck it&#039;s brains out? 

I think if you were to find out your cat or dog had the same treatment in a veterinary surgery - there would be uproar!

I personally find it digusting that the world is ready for these images. The human race is often spoilt and selfish. Not always, but often.</description>

		<description>One situation changes it all. A friend of mine carried a dead baby for 5 months because she was past the legal time to terminate her pregnancy. The baby had a very rare form of dwarfism that prevented the lung cage from growing and expanding. Therefore, the unborn fetus would be still-born or live for a maximum of 10 days. She was given the option of terminating her pregnancy but once she had made the decision to terminate it was past the legal deadline in Missouri and it was then considered partial birth abortion. I am with you on the terms of partial birth and so was she. She carried the lifeless fetus until she was full-term and gave birth to a still-born. Do you think it would have been wrong of her to terminate the pregnancy before the partial birth limit? Or do you think it&#039;s alright for her to suffer through endless questions of &quot;When are you due?&quot; and &quot;Is it a boy or girl?&quot; when she knows she will never know the joy of having a baby because it is already dead inside of her. Abortion will never be illegal because of situations like that. I do not believe that abortion should be a form of birth control but I do believe that there are extreme situations in which it cannot be frowned upon. And unfortunately, if it is an option for one person they have to make it an option for all persons.</description>

		<description>That picture of that once perfectly molded little human being with his or her brains hanging out was just beyond any words. How could any mother do it? It has got to STOP! I mean what will it take? More prayer? More education? More adoption agencies?-OR is it out of our reach to repair this?This is an abomination. What on earth could make someone that is feeling fetal movement allow a cruel murderer to take that baby from her womb? Jesus himself must be weeping.</description>

		<description>We should be ashamed as human beings that PBA is being practiced!  I&#039;ve got different feelings for the first trimester, but thes ePBA&#039;s are absolutely inhumane....a sad reality of our dark nature.  I read a great article here about PBA....great insight: http://constitutionalmatters.com/thevoice/oped/pba</description>

		<description>I can understand how a woman could have a first-trimester abortion and really think she is only killing a blob of tissue. She might not know any better. But I am now 32 weeks pregnant with my precious son, and I cannot fathom how any woman can feel her child moving and growing within her in the second and third trimesters and be COLD-HEARTED enough to deliver her flesh and blood to the abortionist/executioner! May God have mercy on the souls of women cruel enough to sacrifice their little ones on the altar of self-worship. Has modern femenism really reduced women to such selfish, pathetic wimps?</description>

		<description>Kimberly,

Am I reading your post correctly? Are you saying that the horrors are (1) going through the trial, (2) pregnancy, and (3) raising the baby?

Does this mean we should [1] help her kill the child, [2] not prosecute the pedophile father, and [3] aid in the cover up so she can pretend her life is good.

This only works until he rapes her again. Sometimes the necessary good thing to do can be difficult.

Coming forward as a victim of rape is hard. Even more so when it is incest. Going through a trial to prevent the pedophile rapist from having access to other children is excruciating. 

Giving birth to a little baby is difficult, and can be painful without an epidural. But abortion can be painful, and even sometimes fatal, oh and sorry no epidural.

Making the decision to give your baby up for adoption is a tough one. You will wonder &quot;what if?&quot; for the rest of your life. You will also wonder &quot;what if?&quot; if you keep your child.

There are no easy answers, but I would not want to live in a world where people felt reporting the rape, and prosecuting the criminal were not worth the horrors of enduring the system. 

I know what I am talking about having had both my daughters come to me after G-Pa raped them. (This at 8 &amp; 10). It has been horrible, but in talking to them they are both glad we chose to go to the police. Something about enduring a horrible experience becomes better when you reach the end, and find you stood for something good.

There is no good in a unplanned dead child, but being a unplanned child myself I personally find life, though difficult, a good choice.

Grace and Peace to you Kimberly.
Matthew</description>

You&#039;ve seen the pictures of what partial-birth abortion does to a living child, but have you seen the pictures to what a first trimester does to a living child at 7 weeks? 

If you haven&#039;t, I suggest you go to abortionno.org or abort73.com.  After you have seen those pictures, please answer this question: What&#039;s the difference?  

What&#039;s the difference between partial-birth and first trimester abortions?  It is clearly a living human being at 7 weeks.  You can see the individual fingers and toes, the mouth, nose, eyes - practically everything. How does anyone else&#039;s rights justify hacking a living human child to pieces?</description>

		<description>A pregnant teen who was raped by a family member has only begun to know the horrors of the situation.  Think of the dynamics within her household, her relationships with peers at school, in school activities, in her extended family, community, if the rape is brought to trial, her experience of the court proceedings....This is not to mention the unwanted physical and emotional changes she&#039;ll go through in pregnancy and the dramatic changes and lost opportunites to experience her teen years as she should be able, and to further her education as a teen mother, should she keep a baby.  Her rape is merely the beginning.

Another thing, if god &quot;knows ye before you were in the womb&quot;, and every pregnancy is god&#039;s intention, what is the intention of spontanious abortion, or &quot;miscarriage&quot; that occurs so frequently...often when before a woman is even aware that she is pregnant?</description>
