Here Is An Informative Site on Abortion

[BamaLefty]

It also features both arguments. I am pro-choice BTW.

1. hardly..

I don't see anything on the pro-choice side on there...and most of the pro-life stuff is quotes from the 60s and 70s

2. That is a total RWer site

It does not present a "pro-choice" view whatsoever.

And I hardly call it "informative", more like opinion.

Be more honest please.

3. That's an informative site of the anti-choice view

TRULY informative sites:

Info on just about everything from contraception, STD's and abortion

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/



Good description of the D & X procedure (dilation and extraction, aka partial birth abortion) and why it is sometimes the safest choice for a woman.

Did you really expect balanced information from an organization that has tiny feet as its logo?

7. in addition to those sites you might try

the Guttmacher Institute for good information and statistical data.

4. did you even look at the site?

I mean, the menu links on the left include "Abortion Survivors" and "Abortionists Speak."

Informative? Get a clue....

5. I think we have a freeper here. THIS IS NOT A PRO=CHOICE SITE

If you don't agree with an abortion,DON'T NEVER HAVE ONE!. Personally I have never had one. But then again I would not want to have that choice took from me if I did become pregnant for various reasons such as being raped (NO ONE will tell me that I have to have a baby by someone other than my husband) or if I became pregnant and I found out my baby was dying or badly deformed it should be my choice if I choose an abortion (NO ONE will tell me I have to have a baby that is dying anyway or will not have any form of life) or if my life is in danger I should be able to have an abortion in order to save my own life and (NO ONE is going to tell me I have to carry the baby knowing it could kill me if I did)or if I became pregnant and I already had 3 or 4 kids and struggling to support them and got no help from their father, it would be my choice if I made the decision to have an abortion in order to feed and provide for the other children since they are living and breathing children. If my right to choice is took away I think every man who does not pay child support or does not help care for their children should be FIXED so that they can't help make babies.

6. As a former anti-choicer......

I sort of think that probably 80% of the stuff on anti-choice sites is BS.

Anti-choice sites claim that breast cancer comes from abortion, when most doctors agree it doesn't.

These sites claim that most women suffer from depression caused by abortion. While some women have gotten depression after an abortion, there's no direct evidence that links abortion to depression. There is direct evidence of women getting depressed because of child birth.

These sites claim that legal abortion is unsafe, while making illegal abortion sound safer than it really was because of anti-biotics. If legal abortion is not safe, then how can illegal abortion be safer than we thought? And if legal abortion is so darn dangerous, then where are all the bodies of women? The facts are that abortion (when done by real doctors) is a very safe procedure most of the time. It's safer than child birth.

These sites will also claim that the fetus has consciousness during the second trimester. That's weird since they don't have a cerebral cortex to have consciousness with.

BS! BS! BS!

And for the record, I don't tend to think of all right winged sites as this way. I often think that we need to look at both left and right winged sources, shake out the facts, and make a decision from there. It's just that the leftist sources normally do make more sense to me in the end most of the time. However, in the case of anti-choice websites, I wouldn't believe 99% of what is on there.
