Also, what are your thoughts on pro-life pro-choice? Should abortion be made illegal?

Abortion is good, adoption is good. Well, abortion is not really good in many senses, but it should be legalized and I'm for it 150%.

It's not so black-and-white as one is good, and one is bad, et cetera... Give circumstances, and I'll tell you how I feel.

The fact that you're putting it definitively (black and white as someone else said) skews this poll. None of these are good or bad in their nature. They are simply tools and processes that can be used for a good purpose, a bad purpose, or one that's both or neither.
Take adoption, for instance. The connotation of adoption is nursing, motherly, giving some poor child a home. But the end result of that can be disastrous if the host family abuses it, or by nature or nurture the child is corrupted and abuses them. The family may think that they're doing something noble by adopting it, and they may be, but if it hurts the child, who can really say? And if the child ends up hurting them, was it really something so noble in the first place? Life is far too complicated to divide things evenly.
Also, my thoughts on pro-choice/pro-lifeness: because abortion is a tool, like I said, it should not be illegalized. My idea is that a fetus does not equal a child until it is sentient. In the first trimester or whenever it is that a fetus can be aborted, it is nothing more than an object growing inside of a woman, and therefore, it is the woman's decision as to whether or not to terminate it. Because religion and government should be seperate and the concept of a "soul" is pretty much exclusive to religion, it nullifies the "once the sperm touches the egg the child has a soul and cannot be aborted" argument.
p.s. re Antenora's sig: hahahahahaha <3

....Allrighty, well that shuts me up, as I'd repeat everything everyone else has already said.
And on abortion, I think that if a child is conceived of rape or some other unfortunate circumstance, abortion ought to be allowed. Do we want their lives ruined further?

Adoption is gonna slowly decrease, from all these people killing their child. Adoption exist because of people who can't keep their child or had a baby but want to give it up. So by killing their baby, its not helping anyone. I'm anti-abortion, and probable will always be.

Not from the people who get raped but want to keep the child, not from the pro-lifers that have kids they don't want to keep, not from the underage or incestually molested. And not from the people who just can't bother with a child anyway.

Just a question that someone might know the answer to: What does the Bible say about abortion and adoption? (Were those even issues in Biblical times?) I'm just wondering this because it might help me understand where the religious arguements against abortion are coming from.

Adoption: Good. Abortion: Can be debated.

or kill it -Tears
So you do consider it killing a child?
"Thy shall not kill" is where the bible comes in. And abortion my friend, is killing.
I've have never heard of someone getting pregnant from rape. So please post something, to show me. I'm not denying that it doesn't happen. But I'm in disbelief.
