I personally am pro-abortion. I believe that whatever a woman decides to do with her body is her decision. If she doesn’t want the baby then let her do as she pleases. But I just read up on this to see how women are after their abortions and I guess it greatly increases their chances of substance abuse and alcohol problems during their life time . Even if its not an abortion, a miss carriage also does the same.
They are both stressful life events that have been lead to anxiety, sadness, grief, and for some women, serious depression and substance abuse disorders. Abortion seems to have higher risks than miscarriages, its not simply the loss of the pregnancy that elevates risk but other things such as guilt, compromised self-esteem, anger, or relationship problems. The risks of women having mental health issues after abortions goes up 145%.  After reading this, it makes me double think ever getting an abortion.

One of my friends is completely against abortion. If you were to talk to her about it and you were pro-choice she would yell at you and be so angry about just the thought of killing that innocent baby. But she was crazy in love with her boyfriend and she ended up getting pregnant. She took a blood test which verified it. Her boyfriend talked her into getting an abortion, she was completely against it at first but she loved him and didn't want to lose him so she agreed. They were both 19, and both come from extremely strict conservative families. She made an appointment at a planned parenthood to get an abortion but she had to do a few things before. They sat her down for just 15 minutes! And asked her a few questions just to make sure she was going to be mentally stable after the abortion. She passed, even though it was utterly obvious how badly she didn't want the abortion. They were still going to continue. They then just did a blood test to make sure her health was good, miraculously her blood test showed that she wasn't pregnant anymore. She lost the baby, she doesn't even know how. But she doesn't suffer from it at all. She said she was just glad it wasn't her taking away a babies life. God wanted it this way, so she is not bothered by it and rarely thinks of it. She also said that if she went through and had the abortion she doesn't think she would ever have gotten over it, and that afterwards all the love she had for her boyfriend would have faded away for making her do such a terrible thing. I can definitely see how abortion could affect you mentally, if not the next day then years later.

It is a really sad and tragic thing to go through.  But for other women, it's something that they rarely think about anymore.  My younger sister, her old best friend had an abortion.  The pregnancy would've had complications, but even though they asked her if she wanted to try and save it.  She said no way.  She was only sixteen at the time, but she acts like it never happened.  She doesn't even talk to that guy anymore. It's so weird how some people can just delete certain people and events from their lives.  I still remember and I think of her differently because of the way she handled everything. 

First off pro-abortion isn't the right terminology. You are either pro life or pro choice. I am pro life meaning that I don't believe in abortion. I think it is wrong in so many levels. I mean if you don't want to get pregnant don't have sex or use more than one type of protection to help avoid this. You can always put the baby up for adoption after you have it. They can do abortions up to 12 weeks if that is your choice. That is so wrong. That means your baby is 3 months old! That is a human you are killing. People are all for taking the troops out of Iraq because so many innocent lives are being taken, but when it comes to innocent babies no one cares. I don't get it.

I believe that if a person wants to have an abortion it should be before the baby's heart starts beating. But I don't think a person should have an abortion just because the pregnancy is inconvenient. They should have a real good reason. Like if a married woman got pregnant and doesn't want the child because she already has 2 others I think that's wrong and shouldn't happen. But sometimes teenage girls make mistakes, mistakes that could ruin their entire lives and I think they should be given a second chance. I made mistakes when I was younger and although I never got pregnant there is nothing I wouldn't give to just take it all back. Also some nationalities would literally kill their daughters for getting pregnant or just talking to a male, it brings their whole family down and its disrespect for her parents, family, and religion. I believe for their safety an abortion should be available. Also what about rape or incest? Abortions should be available for those as well.
I don't think we should block off abortions completely however I do think that it should have some strict limitations.
