It the womans choice? to kill someone?
It a murderers choice to kill someone too. They get put in prison for it.
The only choice anyone should have in their life is the person themselves. You say it isnt easy to get a abortion but it was easy enough for the girl to have sex to get that baby wasnt it.

Abortion in Ireland is illegal unless the baby is endangering the life of the mother.
Which it should be everywhere.

Yes, It is the women's choice to have an abortion; Some people don't believe it's murder. It depends on your situation. Would you want to bring your baby up in a horrible enviorment. It is easy for women to jump into a bed easily but it's just as easy for birth control to fail, or a condom to break. A pregnancy isn't always planned for someone. It just happens on accident.

Well, the Abortion laws aren't changing no time soon, especially here in the US.

if its a bad environment... then adoption is easy.
The chances of a condom are breaking are next to none and even its only about 1 in 500 if the condom isnt used right.

The only people who get abortions are ones who care too much about themselves and dont care about anyone else.

SO NOT TRUE. Some women have abortions for other reasons. I know someone who had an abortion because she is really sick. She has been for ages and they didn't know how long she was going to live. So she had an abortion so she didn't die with the baby in her etc...

What about teenagers? Is it selfish for a teenager to have an abortion, when they're in Highschool and wanting to make the most out of their Lives?

Im against abortions, but the people who have them I don't think are being selfish.

That's not true. I wish people would quit saying that people who have abortions don't care about anyone else but themselves becaus that's not the case. Espcially within teens, alot of teens as said above to have abortions because they can't handle the fact their going to be parents; They're enviroment isn't stable for a child.

A abortion is only right if it is going to endanger the life of the mother.
If a girl has a kid in school its her fault for being a tart at a young age.
If the environment isnt stable then it should be put up for adoption.
Its obvious people have lost all morals.

Okay, But what if the teen girl got raped? And was impregnated? Has she still got no right to have an abortion?
And no that's not the only time its right if its going to endanger the life of the mother. Have you looked into this? If you were a woman you would see it more like us, But you're not so you can only see it from the "Get rid of it" perspective.
Not all girls who get pregnant are tarts, and not everyone has lost morals. Am I pregnant? No. So I haven't lost my morals.

This.

People who have / had abortions, haven't lost any of their morals. They do it for personal reasonings; I guess, I have lost mine then as well. :|

A ban on abortion would go hand in hand on a police crackdown on rape. A government database with everyones DNA on it would do that.
Theres no excuse for murder... "i wont be able to go out on saturday nights" isnt a excuse for murder. so yes.. its the only excuse.
No the ones who have sex without taking into account the end result and then just having a abortion are tarts yes.
But you are for abortion.. so you have lost basic morals.

I love how these so called abortion activist, says it's murder. Sure it's murder but I rather have my child, aborted then risk putting them into a home that maybe potientally abusive. You do know there are cases like that. Adoptive parents that pass the paper part of the evulation but as soon as that child is placed into their hands it's something totally diffrent.

I wasn't always for abortions, when I was in High School i thought it was murder but, til recently having to go through my own personal situation, I learned it wasn't. It's not selfish, it's selfless and I don't think you understand that. Until you physically have had to go through it, then you don't know what you're talking about.
