    so what if it has fingernails? that's not what's important when deciding whether it's cruel or not,

    animails that we always eat have fingernails too right?

    More like claws, but softball's argument is still not flawless.
    Softball, you say that it's a baby and therefore should not be killed.
    May I ask you then; Do you belive it to be cruel to take an animal's life?
    If not; What is it that separates humans from animals? Is it selfreflection? Or the ability to make ethical decisions? Or something else?

    ya, humans can make moral decisions and are smarter and all that

    but a baby is still a baby even though it's a human
    so the baby can't make moral decisions nor is it smarter
    than like an animal... so killing a baby is just like killing a pig :)

    I found your response to be a bit confusing, what do you mean when you say "from the moment it is made". Are you referring to the zygote? Which stage? etc.

    It depends on the situation, if the woman was raped then it should be allowed, but if it's two people that chose not to use protect it is their own fault and will have to face the consciences.

    I agree to some point if the baby isnt pass an age(say 3months) and the child will be brought up with a bad life style then it is better off for everyone but i totally agree that this should be no form of birth control and thats how a lot of ppl see it

    I would sit on the fence on this one, it's up to one's ethics I suppose.

    I am on the pro-choice side of things. And on top of that, no matter how much this topic is debated, it remains the person's decision, not ours. Who are we to tell someone what to do with their body? And it is not cruel to bring a child into this world who won't receive proper care?

    Abortions are A-OK
    If it is Ok to kill animals becuz of their lack of sentience
    and a fetus is not sentient
    by the same line of thinking
    it is ok to kill a fetus

    I am anti-abortion except in the case of molestation or rape.

    If the girl decided to have sex knowing the possible consequences, she can deal with the consequences.

    I think abortion is the "easy way out."

    Theres always adoption if the mother is "unfit."

    to me, it is sort of a sensitive subject. but i think i would get an abortion if say i had a girl already and wanted a boy and the one on the way was yet another girl. i know thats harsh but i have always imagined having a boy but no more than two kids

    No it's not cruel.
    It belongs to the mother.
    The mother has a responsibility with it and may do what she like with it.
