The termination of a pregnancy unwanted for one reason or another. If necessary, should only be attempted by a licensed practitioner. Those who believe abortions should be fully legalized and readily available do not advocate "killing babies". They simply believe abortion should be a legal option for instances as rape, incest, or ectopic pregnancies. Abortion is not a good thing but sometimes is the only thing. It is also a matter of Freedom, which is supposed to be valued highly in nations such as the USA. If someone wants pleasure but doesn't want to be a parent , where is the freedom in forcing them to be one? What business is it of ours what people do in private as long as it is not harmful? Even more to the point, where's the Freedom in forcing a raped women to either raise a baby she never asked for and comes as a painful reminder of a terrible event or, after the bonding experience of giving birth, part ways with it? And, in cases of the latter, is it healthy for a baby to separated from his mother?
However, Freedom is two-way traffic. (That anyone can call themselves "Pro-Life" and support the US military action in Iraq is nonetheless mind-boggling.)
There is also some debate over who should have the right to decide to get an abortion. Ultimately, it should fall to the woman. It's her body. Still, it would be the decent thing to involve the father (provided he is not a rapist or perverted blood relative.)

Anna: Julia was recovering well from being raped but she just found she's pregnant and she's thinking about an abortion. It's a difficult decision for her to make.
Jane : Who can blame her? Why would she want to mother a baby she never asked for, forced onto her by some creep she doesn't even know by name? Wouldn't it be a terribly painful reminder of her being violated every time she looked at the child?
Anna: Yeah, I agree. Let's call her and tell her to make that appointment...

Get the Abortion mug.Related Words
Abortion is the act of termiating a fetus before it reaches birth.
Abortion is appropriate in cases such as teenage pregnancy, incest, rape, and inner city mothers who can't afford a child.
Regardless of whether you support abortion morally/religiously, abortion should be legal because it's not the government's job to tell you what's moral and what's not.
If you want a theocracy, move to Saudi Arabia.

Get the abortion mug.1. The termination of a developing Embryo or fetus, egal in most states up until the 2nd trimester.
2.A good thing. Even if the woman has consensual sex and takes no precautions, it is still up to her wether or not to abort the pregnancy. It is still her right, even if the choice is made for the most asinine reason imaginable, for instance, "I don't like the way kids smell". I find it ironic that "Pro-Life"-rs have murdered hundreds of doctors who preform abortions. Also, what about other forms of contraception? If by wearing a condom or taking the pill a couple prevents a pregnancy from occuring, is that the same as an abortion? Why would it be any different? It would only be the elimination of another possible human life, right? Or do you only care about life of any kind, for instance, the millions of skin cells scraped off every day by normal scratching, for example? If that's the case, than anyone who has ever had a rash or skin irritation is a serial killer. All I want is a little consistincey, that's all.

Get the abortion mug.When a woman aborts a child inside her own body.
When a woman gets an abortion that does not make her a slut. Its not like she was having sex and was just like "oh well thats okay if i get pregnant ill just have an abortion" its not like there fucking free. And what if some one is raped? or the birth control or condom didnt work or broke? then what happens? And whos going to take care of the baby, most of the time when people get abortions its cause they cant support the child and it would die of an illness anyway. If abortion is made illegal then were all gonna have to pay more taxes to support the already over crowded orphaneges. I hope all u anti abortionist adopt a fuck load of kids.
