I just watched an abortion video.
Within 2 min, I went from being pro-choice to being pro-life.
I understand the pro-choice argument, but thing is, you're carrying ANOTHER person and that person has rights.

What? Are you also going to stop eating meat after you watch videos of an abattoir?
I do know some people who have, though, so I guess it's not that far-fetched...

Well, thing is, during that video, I could see the little thing still moving (as he was alive).
And that innocence just killed me. I mean, it was a f*cking murder.

Are second/third trimester abortions really legal? Because that is beyond is fucked up.
Depends on exactly how far
Depends on exactly how far along the pregnancy is, Jeff. 21 weeks or less and the fetus isn't considered viable on its own, or something like that.

Life is precious. Intelligent life is even more precious when you realize our current situation (i.e. alone on this small planet, lost in a hostile universe)

Go watch the video. I sent it to you.
Then give me your feedback.
I believe in the right to
I believe in the right to choice up to a certain stage of pregnancy. I agree that aborting a fetus that is 4-6+ months along is wrong, but, like Angus said, at a certain stage the fetus isn't viable on its own and doesn't have a lot of brain functionality. When to exactly draw the line, I don't know. Leave that to the experts.
Not a personal attack or anything, but I've always struggled with the idea that "life is precious/priceless". Everyone says that, and it's nice to think it, but if you truly believed it you would have to sell most of your possessions and start giving to charities that help feed starving children. Hell, I could easily move to Brooklyn and use the $500 in rent savings each month to save like, what, 10-15 lives?

abdel, what about cases of incest or rape
I agree that abortions should
I agree that abortions should be allowed for cases like incest and rape but I don't see why victims of those crimes would wait till their third trimester. They have six months to make that choice which should be plenty of time. An abortion past six months is just cruel and inhumane as a baby is almost formed.
Abdel, do you mind sending me that video also?

As an adopted kid, it'd be pretty fucked up if I weren't pro life. That said, I think the entire fucking species should stop breeding, like, right fucking now.
Intelligent life is precious.
Intelligent life is precious. The majority of people are not intelligent. I think abortion is kind of dumb since people have countless measures so they never get to that point, but I don't want the government getting involved in personal choice.
How do you feel about national healthcare? Caring about an innocent life shouldn't end once they are born.

Watched the video. So...
Watched the video. So... because it looks like a baby and it's alive, you're against abortion?
Me, I see it a little differently. I think abortion has a net positive effect on general welfare of the population.

100% agree. I became pro-life (within reason) a few years back. I have no problem with early (<8weeks) abortions and Plan B... but when should you ever need a late abortion now?
Other than cases where the mother's life is in danger, the woman likely (a) didn't use the pill (b) didn't use the morning after pill, and (c) sat on her hands for some length of time.
Also agree that more responsible reproduction would be a smart move. There is no good reason to have 7 billion people. And children, in this era of birth control, should not be born to people who have no means of providing for them.
I am anti abortion. However,
