CAMSMOM1 replied: No, they haven't changed. I was against it before, and I'm against it now. I feel every child has the right to life, and every child has a purpose on Earth.

Agreed 100% to the tee!!!!

MamaJAM replied: My views on abortion have never changed. From the day I understood how precious the gift of MY life is (I was given up for adoption at birth when my mother could have legally chosen to abort me) -- I have been completely Pro-LIFE.

jcc64 replied: Well, my views haven't changed, but my reasons have.
When I was younger, my stance on this issue was closely related to my own self interest and that particular stage in life- I wanted options available to me if I should ever find myself in that situation.
Now, that I am much older and in a position to cope with an unintentional pg on every level, I am also better able to consider the predicaments of those who are not.

Jeanne said it well.

I have always been pro-choice. But when I was younger, if need be (and thankfully I never had to), I would have wanted that option (given the situation). But now that I'm older, I know that I am better prepared to have a child no matter what the situation.

C&K*s Mommie replied: I am the one dissenting voice, that said that they have changed. I personally would not have had an abortion pre-parenthood but I would not stand in the way of another woman making that choice. They have changed that while I was pro-choice for other woman, I am not a full blown, stand in a picket line, taunting other women as a pro-lifer, now. Before I had the proof that I was PG with K, the nag of being PG remained in my mind for weeks, I thought several times that if I took a test and found out I was could I go to have an abortion and not tell Chris (I know he is full blown against it- we have a sweetheart of a nephew because my SIL was talked out of having a late term abortion) I knew I could not, go through with it, but the thought was still there. I would never want anyone to have an abortion, but we all make decisions each day and to each his own. I like to think that that child that did not have a chance to grow in this world, still has the chance to thrive in heaven, because GOD Himself made that child, and is with them Just my thoughts.

PrairieMom replied: My Views haven't changed, i still believe the same way I did before, but my FEELINGS twards it have. And thats all I'm gonna say.

Mom2BNTN replied: My views on abortion has not changed!! The way I viewed it when I was younger is still the same way I view it today.

ilovemybaby replied: No. I'm still Pro-Life.
The only reasons I can understand is if it's a pregnancy resulting from rape or if the mothers life would be at risk delivering/carrying a baby. Or if there is something wrong with the baby. And it would depend on what is wrong. If it is something that would mean the child would have absolutely no quality of life then I understand totally. If it is something like the child has Downs Syndrome or is missing one leg or arm then I think that child still has quality of life.

ashtonsmama replied: I have never really believed in it, but after having a child I can't understand how someone could have an abortion...having Ashton has changed my heart in a major way...but basically no, my views haven't changed.

My3LilMonkeys replied: My views have not changed. I have always believed that every woman has the right to choose what she wants to do with her own body. With that being said I am 100% against abortions for any reason not directly related to the mothers health - but who am I to try and control someone else's life? (Well, someone else other than my children. )

MyLuvBugs replied:
ITA!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Nope they haven't changed. I have and always will believe that your body or not, it isn't your life that is at stake, and it shouldn't be your choice to end it.
