How can people say that abortion is voluntary for people who are in poverty and are financially cornered, especially when minorities are more likely to have abortions than white people in America? How can you justify the racial disparity here? Are minorities intrinsically different in some way that makes them more inclined to have abortions? Of course not. So if the decision to have the procedure was really voluntary and not undully influenced, then shouldn’t the abortion statistics be the same for all races in the country?
I’m pro-choice, but you’re wrong. Actually it isn’t the minorities that have the most abortions. It’s the white prom queen types that do. Check the stats http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/AbortionStatistics.htm
60.5% White
34.7% Black
4.8% Other
And the No. 1 reason why "Wants to postpone childbearing". That sounds like a choice to me.
no

Do you have real statistics to demonstrate your claim?
No, didn’t think so.

So your question is is it OK to murder someone to prevent some financial difficulties?

Look I am pro-choice and even I cannot accept your arguement.
there is no financial meltdown, I don’t believe it costs anything to put a baby up for adoption.
References :
I think the choice to have an abortion is usually based on factors in the person’s life such as their psychological ability to handle a child at that point, their financial ability, their partnership status, their health, etc… Its almost always going to be some negative factor that is the reason they feel they aren’t ready or able to have a child. Would you also say abortion is discriminatory toward single people, people with ill health, people who are young, etc… It could be spun equally to say that if you take away the choice you are discriminating against them by forcing them to bear a child they can’t support perhaps for someone else if they have to give it up. By your reasoning it could be spun to represent forced surrogacy since they really don’t have much of a choice in their circumstances.

It”s usually the people who are overly religious that don’t use protection that end up poor by having too many children. They are always being told its evil to wear condoms, according to the Pope condoms spreads aids.
Atheists usually do take precautions and plan having children, because they want their children to have a better lot in life.

I tend to think that those who are rugged in their heart would figure that they could get by. Those who are spiritual would think that God would somehow get them through. So you are right, but only for some people who couldn’t see that life was more important than looking at things without faith in the promises God made. I understand that not everyone can trust God for what He said- but for those who can, I would hope they would chose the road to having faith in God because I think it is the better way.

i’d go with a financial meltdown.
money is just green paper with dead guy’s faces on it, when you compare it to a potential life.
if you cannot realistically care for a child, give it up for adoption.
it’s all about what you consider more valuable.

but, i am pro choice. meaning, i believe it’s the woman’s choice. not mine, not yours, and not the government’s.
Race has nothing to do with how or what we have to live with. All races have atleast some people who suffer the same issues. Because those of certain countries are publicize the most we see their sufferings.The degree of sufferings are the most severe in those Nations we see or read about. However, no matter what we do in life the decision is still one done by "Choice."

1) They should of at least have been able to afford contraception if they were financially concerned. If they were impoverished,then they should of stayed abstinent and maybe just fooled around without having sex if they couldnt have controlled themselves. haha
2) Some abortions are pretty expensive costing from $350 or more.
3) White people have more abortions than other races of people.
4) Abortion has nothing to do with race besides statistics. Its about the persons morality.

1) If someone has to choose between having an abortion or a financial meltdown, is it really a choice?
a) Yes, of course it is really a choice.
b) Abortions are not cheaper than putting your infant up for adoption.
2) How can people say that abortion is voluntary for people who are in poverty and are financially cornered
Mainly, because other options are available. Even if options that are less financially onerous were not available (and they are, of course), it would still very clearly be a voluntary choice. I think I can help you out here:

3) How can you justify the racial disparity here?
You mean, how can I justify minorities having a higher percentage of abortions than do "Whites"? Why would I ever want to justify such a thing? Isn’t that what YOU are trying to do? In my opinion it is unjustifiable.
4) Are minorities intrinsically different in some way that makes them more inclined to have abortions?
Intrinsically? Of course not. Culturally? Of COURSE.
5) So if the decision to have the procedure was really voluntary and not undully influenced
You seem to be under the impression that **influence** removes the voluntary nature of an act. That is not true. An act is not voluntary only when it is *forced* – only when there is NO other reasonable option.
6) shouldn’t the abortion statistics be the same for all races in the country?
"Should"? You actually used the word "should" in THAT sentence?
….
I’m guessing you meant "would". The answer is: "almost certainly not, and certainly people who carefully considered the issue would not expect them to be the same".

Um, i’m all for a persons right to choose regardless of their personal reasons or socio-ecomomic circumstances…
That said, your attempt to use abortion as a way to illustrate how god(whom I do not believe in) doesnot exist or does but wouldn’t consider abortion sin at least not those financially strapped, is a sad sad attempt with so many holes I feel itonly necessary to point out the factual hole with which nobody could argue…pregnancy doesn’t cost a dime nor does giving birth (USA) you could have a very trying pregnancy see only the very best doctors and give birth in a high risk specialty hospital and your price $0 then put that baby up for adoption. So claiming your strapped doesn’t work, nor does it work to explain away your financil ability to purchase condoms or recieved free birth control …
So there!
