Poll: deciding about abortion.

[Zorg Machine]

someone gets pregnant and the father/mother want's an abortion, who should decide if they get one or not.
bear in mind that in many countries (don't know exact figures) the mother decides and if the mother want's to keep the baby the father has to pay her so she can raise the baby (alimony).

Circumstance.

I love Wheel of Fortune!

But in all seriousness, I'd put the kid up for adoption if she didn't want it.

abortion should be used more, personally I think it is a great invention and we should give people the option to use it, if you do not want to use it, don't.

I think the mother will need to make the ultimate choice, seeing how she will need to give birth to and support the baby. Sometimes, the father just runs off, no matter what his decision was.

If the father wants an abortion but the mother wants to keep the baby, he shouldn't have to pay childcare. He has no right to see the child now, as he didn't want it - just clarifying.

If other way round I'd say the woman calls the shots, she's giving birth after all.

Mothers decision. A father to be shouldn't be able to push medicines or invasive procedures on to the mother. You don't want to be a dad? Wrap it up... or put it in her butt.

Circumstance.

Ditto.

Kinda in appropriate Avatar for this thread eh?

OT The parents should decide but mostly the mother as it is her body.

Abortion is murder.
So....... neither.

No, it is not.

Words can't describe how wrong that statement is.

Also, how are you accessing a computer from the dark ages?

Umm, you have to be alive to be murdered, and to be alive you have to be born.

If we measured life from before birth it'd get confusing.

This.

I also say he has no rights to see the child as he didn't want it. Probably didn't need mentioning but just to clarify.

Yeah, I agree on that.

The woman has to have the last word.
After all, you can't force her to give up her body for nine months or make her abort the baby.
However, I agree that the father shouldn't have to pay for childcare if it's early on established that he opted for abortion.

I say cut of a chicken's head, play a catchy tune on a flute and see where the body falls.

If it falls on "Bailout!", you get an abortion.

Circumstance largely. But I think the man should have a say if he wants it NOT to be carried out barring medical reasons.

Though when I was I think 16-17 my then girlfriend got pregnent by me. She did not want the child. I said I would raise it as I have large (5 siblings and two very nice parents) loving family who would help me if she refused to raise it. Instead she went to have an abortion. When I got upset at her about this she hung up the phone and shot herself in the head and died, convinced her life had been ruined. I would've had a daughter.

Go early in stages of global warming population control, go abortion. It's better then people being lined up and shot in 50 years because there isn't enough food.
