To abort or not to abort

That is the question. How do you fellows/ladies view abortion? Are your answers going to be as predictable as i assume they'll be? Population, her vag her rights ,etc.? Should there be some monitoring? How can some of the cases not be kind of...fucked up? Stretch marks? I have this christian-ish view that a baby is a baby the minute it's detectable. It seems like something that shouldn't be such an easy thing to do for women. The people creating bills need to change things. Women need people telling them if they can or can't. stretch marks isn't a fucking reason. lol I know, i'm stupid.. oh well.. In my stupid opinion, a heart-beat deserves the right answers. A step-back for civil rights? Women need to be responsible..a few? You can't just kill babies because your unreligious/whorish.. capable but unwilling. Poor, sure..retarded/defects, sure..there is some kind of line that needs to be drawn.
I realize im not einstein..but i feel like teaching discipline through laws is the way to go.Lol sorry..oh, your academic future is at jeopardy? Condoms and birth control are not 100% effective. More babies the better.
I hate the bible. I love that do as thy whilst stuff.

Yes. My body, my choice.
I agree with the right to abortion up until the 24th (viability) week. After that it's down to medical necessities.

I'm not in favor of killing off human life in just about any circumstance. But I don't think a fetus is a person or has personhood rights and the real issue in my opinion is the right to privacy, which if anything applies to a woman's own body.

I agree. I also have no problem with abortions after the 24th week for significant developmental issues that would heavily impact quality of life for the child or put an onerous burden of care on the parents.
That sums up my opinion. After viability it needs to be judged on an individual basis.

Don't tell me what to do with my body, and I won't tell you what to do with yours. Deal?

That's how I approach it. If no one forces me to carry to term, I will return the consideration.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
