You can't force someone to have an unwanted child just because YOU are religious.
Better to abort the child than allow it to be raised by someone who didn't want it in the first place.

I feel as if a mothers life would be better if she aborted her unborn child.. then so be it.
Why should the child have to be born into a world of poverty, drug abuse, domestic abuse, or sent to a foster home with no identity.. or just plain out uncaring. And the conservatives who are anti-abortion.... you will be crying when you have to pay the welfare benefits for that mother. So what is your solution?
I am against this entire christian movement to install a theocracy.... sort of like the ban on stem cell research. Research that could possibly save lives and help the population as a whole.. why should ones religious belief be more important than the population?

But you see, I was not talking about murdering another individual off the street, or not paying child support. I specifically stated it's nobody's right to force a woman to carry a child. Thats what this thread is about. It's HER body, not yours. As far as religion goes, keep trying to force it on us and see how fast things get ugly. I for one am willing to oppose it violently if need be (because history shows fundamentalists of any religion use violence to force their beliefs).

"The bottom line: It's between YOU and YOUR maker." and 27 agreed.
Well then, killing is against religion, legalize it.
Stealing is too, keep it to yourself.
The list goes on. Religion is the formula in which this society has been based.
SO, if it is between you and your maker, than anything you do is ok.
