text: do you think abortion is ok? depending on the circumstance? say a girl gets raped and is pregant is it ok that she gets an abortion casue it wasnt her choice to get pregant. or if a girl gets pregant for sleeping with a guy and doesnt want the kid is it all right ? there are 3 cases where i feel getting an abortion would be ok. rape, as the pregnancy is due to an act of violence, severe deformity of the fetus, (not down syndrome or fas, i mean deformities where it would be unlikely for the child to live for more than a few days after birth), and where giving birth would kill the mother. abortion is not birth control, though.  the problem i have with the pro-life movement is that, to them, there are no exceptions. they base there stand on strictly religious views and not on the concept of "greater good". is the life of a living, breathing person any less important than that of one who hasn't been born yet? is it right to bring a child into this world if they will, without a doubt, be dead in a matter of hours? where's the compassion in that? i know a couple who went through that a few years ago and would not wish it on anyone.
