Are you for or against and whats the reason?

Abortion is rampant nowadays especially the teenagers of the new generation. As a mature woman, I say NO to abortion. Let's give those fetus in our womb a chance to see the world.

I am against it and my main reason is killing a life is not something I like. The second reason is there are so many people who cannot have kids that would welcome a baby.

I think there are to many philosophical questions/assumptions to be able to decide if abortion is right or wrong. I personally believe it should be up to the individual because there are just many things we just cant have a definitive non opinionated answer to.
Some examples:
Is it right or wrong
What if it was the result of force/rape
What if it was truly an accident (my teachers husband once had a vasectomy but she still go pregnant, they had the baby, love it, but he went and got it redone right away)
At what stage is a human actually created? Some extreme arguements are that each sperm is potentially a baby.
Why should someone else be able to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her body. A woman does have her period each month, each egg and sperm could become a child, if someone forced a woman to have a child would this be wrong? If so, why is it wrong for her not to want to have a child after the egg and sperm are together?

There are so many different things to consider I cannot even begin to think of them all. There are also a lot of much deeper philosophical questions that you can get into.

[The right way]

In my opinion, before a man says it should not be allowed he should figure a way to get it done in his own belly and spend the nine months, not an easy trip for some in certain situations.
It is not a nice thing to do and I have never been there either but it still needs to be up to the individual and there should a councellor available at such a facillity that does this procedure so a person has a chance to make an informed decision or find support before and after doing so.
My biggest beef about this question is why should a government or other body be able to decide what a woman will do with her body. There are usually many reasons why a woman might need to do it and hopefully they are good reasons but no one person should be able to decide on a whole scale factor what any person would do with their bodies/lives.
This brings me to the same type of questions with people wanting to end their lives when they are about to die a slow painful death of cancer or other diseases, Another topic I know but look at both situations and see if one is fair to you and the other is not.
I know if I had been raped as a young woman I could not carry the child, no one could make that happen and I still think I feel this way, and at the same time I would hate women who would do this as a birth control for numerous stupid mistakes.
