The abortion debate is an unending debate. There are pros and cons on this debate. But ultimately, I think both mother and zygote or foetus or baby have right to life.

For mother who may not to keept the baby for one reason or another I think the suggestion by @masukuma is a very good one. The Govt, church and society can take responsibility for bringing up the babies. Who knows who in society they may become when they grow up.

I agree with sky5. I believe 90% of women regret having procured an abortion but there are those who feel nothing. Many abortion cases are done out of desperation and with proper counseling it can be avoided.

I met this lady at KNH, a very young girl, who had carried her pregnancy up to 7 months and then her boyfriend panicked and advised her to have an abortion. He took her to these backstreet places and they really damaged her. When he realized things had gone bad he dumped her outside the gate of their home at night. She was found in the morning and rushed to KNH.

The girl later developed Kidney failure. I met her when she was undergoing dialysis at KNH. Sooo sad. This girl was going to keep the baby but that stupid fool of a boyfriend messed up her head and she stupidly agreed. And off course when she got sick he was no where to be seen.

Research should be done on what kind of people procure abortions the most and a strategy employed to try and curb this number. There is a lot we can do as a society to help our ladies.

Are you serious?!? So you think a man's involvement should end once the egg is fertilized?

I agree with @2012 at a certain level: the man's involvement should be throughout including investigation for accessory to murder in the case of abortion; or automatic first-tax for support of child if there's parentage when its born.

Alternatively, I agree with @Phaoro. Under the current lax setting, the laxity should be extended to 'letting the woman do what she sees fit'.

Phew! this quotes my goodness, cant seem to get them right
