Abortion: should we have the right to choose?

Abortion is used as a form of contraception in the UK and a stronger message needs to be sent to young people to avoid Britain becoming Europe’s “abortion capital”, according to a Conservative MP. Nadine Dorries also wants to reduce the upper limit at which abortions may be performed from 24 to 20 weeks. Do you agree?

    also ... why is there a debate on smacking kids and why is everyone attacking edna?? if u want to debate smacking children, do it on that comment board not here, and everyone is entitled to their opinion i dont think anyone should be hated on because of what they say, when we don't even know the person...you don't know WHY they say what they say, there could be a perfectly good reason behind what they are saying!

    I personaly don't think abortions are right, i think they're cruel, BUT i do think every woman has the right to choose whether she has an abortion or not.

    no women should have the right to kill their baby as it would be an abomination in the eyes of god.

    as i have said before and have a right to speak my opinion: some people ought to think themselves lucky to be able to be preagnant, unlike me on a quest to find an egg donor as IVF is our only chance, so when i hear of woman simply opting for an abortion it sickens me. on the other hand i think abortion in this case should only be undertaken if the mothers life is at risk and all other posibilites have been looked at.
