RANT: I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I'm entitled to my own. I shared…

I am against it, unless the woman is raped then she should be able to have the choice, yes I said choice because I have a friend who was raped and she kept the baby.... some women don't want the constant reminder of that horrible experience.... me personally I wouldn't ever have one, if it happened to me I feel I would follow in my friends footsteps and have the baby (her daughter looks like her thankfully)

there are certain situations that it is obviously excusable, but for someone to want an abortion just because they don't want to take responsibility for their actions, that I don't agree with.

but I do agree with you @sarahdrew, if I were in that situation I would have kept the baby too. I wouldn't have been able to abort it. even if I couldn't look at the baby every day, I would put it up for adoption. I personally could never bring myself to go through with one.

Well that is usually what happens when you post about controversial issues on social media. You will get people angry that are just as passionate about the other side of the issue. That's why I refrain from posting anything like that on my Facebook. I am just not trying to arguing with people all day.

@mommarausch, I agree with you too, just because you decide you don't want a baby after you willingly had sex is not a reason.... and adoption is a great option for a baby in that situation

I'm against it as well, I think it should only be for medical emergencies such as an ectopic pregnancy. I understand why rape victims would want to but I personally wouldn't abort a baby conceived from a rape. It's just too traumatic :( I try to refrain from posts about abortion because I get so irritated with women who are strong advocates for abortion. We're all entitled to our opinions but for a women to call a baby a parasite is awful. I don't understand why women who don't want kids ever don't just get their tubes tied. Why put themselves thru abortions if they know for sure they don't want kids?

Adoptions is not a fix all solution...so many kids out there already that no one wants. Look into how many kids are in the system, look at our flawed foster care system and the terrible things that happen to kids in foster care...And not every mom will want to give their child up for adoption, so then they may be neglected, abused or murdered. I mean abortions are legal and still there are women out there that choose to keep their kids and neglect, abuse and sometimes kill their children. It's a lot more complicated than just, if you don't want a baby just give it up for adoption. And unless you women have been raped and been pregnant as a result how can you possibly claim what you would or wouldn't do in that exact scenario? I think that's the problem with judging others, is that you won't actually know for sure unless you are in that situation. Easy to claim what you would do from the outside looking in until it's your reality.

Tbh that bothers me to. I personally don't even know where I stand with it anymore. I've never been in a position where it has ever been an option for me (although recently for a very brief period I did wish I had one) and I'm grateful I never had to be in that position. So obviously I don't know what it's like to feel like it IS an option, let alone the only option. It just pisses me off that people are so hateful towards people who are for it. I'd be more inclined to join your side if you anti abortion people went around adopting these kids that they are so wanting in the system.

I'm not hateful toward people who are for it, but when someone who is for it starts attacking me because I am against it, that's when it starts pissing me off. again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. if you're for it, great. if you're against it, great. it honestly makes no difference to me.

my bf when I first found out wanted me to get an abortion it's killing an innocent life. to me it is. but I ended up choosing adoption
