Well I haven't posted on gc for quite some time, but I had to pipe in on this issue since i feel so strongly about it. I am absolutely, totally, 100% against abortion. As was already stated, a woman has the right to choose...the right to choose whether or not to have sex and be responsible, that is. I do not feel that I, or any other woman, has the right to dictate whether or not they will keep a baby. Now this is based on my religious beliefs, so if you are not a Chrisitin, I wouldn't necessarily hold you to the same principles. But as a Chrisitian, i know that God grants people the PRIVILEGE of taking care of his children while they reside on Earth as mothers and fathers. But they are still God's children, and I would never want to risk the wrath of God for ending the life of one of his children. I am neither judging or condemning people who are pro-choice, I'm simply stating my personal beliefs and I feel very strongly about them.
In addition, I am against abortion because I feel it is detrimental to the Black race. I wish I had the figures, but I know that Black woman get abortions at alarmlingly high rates. i feel like it is self inflicted cultural genocide. It's true that many black people live in poverty and having an abundance of children won't help, but I mean come on! Even college educated, established Black women are aborting black children. It has to stop.
