I believe in freedom of choice but a right comes with responsibilities and that is the way
society works. I think a woman has a right to an abortion under certain conditions.
I don't agree with sex determined abortions that is done purely for cultural reasons and
it is repugnant.
Personally I don't like the concept of an abortion period other than life of the mother etc.
But my personal view is in conflict with the society we live in, it is unfortunate that we don't
create a society where abortions would not be necessary.
The problem we have is that we just go on banging our heads together over the issue itself
without caring a hoot about the reasons for the people getting an abortion.
Women don't just have abortions because its Tuesday, there are circumstances that come
together to create the option. As a society we have to be willing to compromise on how we
develop the conditions where mothers feel safe, secure and want to have a child. Without
that we condemn ourselves to more of the same.
Strategic abortions like sex selection is not acceptable in our society.
But it can make a change within the ratio of male-female for the ethnic population.
Another issue you may be unaware of.Off topic.

I am not against 'early' abortions, but definitely against gender selection abortion, not sure why
that would even be a subject in our country. I know they do that sort of thing in china and probably
some other areas, in that part of the world.
For or against??????
Which "right" trumps the other....
Woman's right to choose....or....sex discrimination???
Technically Speaking, the Woman's right to choose trumps the argument of sexual discrimination as human rights and all that stuff like Sexual Discrimination do not apply to someone until they are born and take their first breath.
Though I am personally against abortion being used in such a way as to get a gender you prefer, it is not my place to force others to make decisions I approve of. I can only control / have input in situations that directly affect myself and my family..... in my personal position, if I was having a boy or girl, yet preferred the opposite sex to what was coming, I wouldn't opt for an abortion to try again.
Based on the options presented in the above poll, I can not vote as there is no option that suits my position.
So you will decide a woman's right to chose?
Maybe if the aborted fetus were to be given to the patient for disposal when they leave the clinic.......yea ...I know....gross.....What if we showed you a picture of an aborted fetus?
I keed I keed.
my post was easy to understand, read it again, and figure it out.
Whoa whoa whoa... A woman has every right to abort any baby she wishes. Who are we to judge? If she doesn't want a little girl (or boy) then she has every right to terminate it. Keep your hands out of their wombs and off their bodies.
Right?
The question behind it is "IS it the woman's choice or is she being pressured (forced) by family/ cult?"
For a man to force a woman to have an abortion just because he does not like the sex of his offspring is just as vile as a man denying a woman the right to terminate a pregnancy because she does not want a baby.
First it's not wanting childen, then it's choosing gender, just around the corner comes abortions because of eye colour, hair colour, short, tall , fat, thin, autistic, downs, physical deformation, mixed race/religion or potential bad breath.
Halitosis is a curse on humanity.Who are we to decide at this point a woman's right to choose? With multiculturalism who are we to decide how a people should behave? Who are we to force our own values upon certain women and cultures?
The genie is out of the bottle.
And a couple of those examples are already in play.
Ok... so you think if a woman has a right to abort a female child she should have the right.
I repeat, I don't agree that abortions should be allowed for the purpose of terminating a particular gender,
then go back to the drawingboard to try again for the gender that is wished for.
How simple is that.
