Not as black and white as it once was, is it?

Don't you mean 'legal' for that first statement? Abortion should be legal for those who are endangering themselves or the unborn, all else is just retarded. And your second statement doesn't add up, pretty sure you meant 'illegal.' A wealthy woman wouldn't care about being paid for the child either.

This is probably the most annoying thing to read in an abortion discussion thread, because you're acting as if the fetus does not have a body, and if you agree that he/she DOES, then you're being a hypocrite.

Well, I at least appreciate you calling it a fetus and not a baby.
The fetus half of the time DOESN'T have a body. It's a clump of cells for a lot of the time with no ability to think, remember, feel pain, make decisions, etc. It's STILL PART OF THE WOMAN, and not on its own yet. So therefore, it is the woman's body, her decision to make, gtfo.

They don't. As you just said they are a fetus. They aren't fully humans yet. Just a a mass of cells.

just a thought... the more words you put into a poll choice, the more likely people are to pick "neither" as you start to get into loaded answer.
if this is you ranting... then just rant! if you actually want some kind of functional poll.. maybe 4-5 choices that are a little less loaded?

So what exactly constitutes a body? Having 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 feet, 2 hands, a stomach etc?
Yes, he or she is part of the woman's body, however people do get abortions at the point when the baby COULD live on its own.
The record for the earliest premature baby to be born and survive is 21 weeks, and 5 days. 12% of women get an abortion AFTER their first trimester, and while that doesn't seem like much in comparison to the 88% who get them before the end of their first trimester, 50 million abortions are performed per year, which means that 6 million abortions occur after the first trimester, when the baby could (based on the world record) live without his or her mother.
You CANNOT say that a fetus just a mass of cells. This fetus was formed from the sperm and ovum of his or her parents, which formed an entirely new, self-directing living organism with its own individual DNA distinct from both mother and father. This fetus will only have one chance to live a life like the rest of us, and to take that right away from him/her is just cruel and thoughtless.

I agree with the second choice entirely.
Even at 5 days past due, the fetus is IN her and living off HER body.
She should have the right to do with it what she wants, regardless of wealth until it is born, even if it is ABLE to live outside of her at the time.
Until the fetus is separate from the woman, whether that be at 15 weeks gestation or 45 weeks gestation, the woman should have the choice of aborting.
Also, keep in mind that this is coming from someone who is happily 39 weeks pregnant so it's not like I'm biased in any way on the matter.

I think abortions should only be legal in extreme cases like rape, incest, serious health problems, etc. Otherwise it's just downright wrong and selfish.
