The question is, 'Is Contraception failure alone a good enough reason for an abortion?'

Discuss.

Rape, danger to mother or life changing (serious) disability only and a JP or judge to approve each case

I am pro life, people have to start to understand that with sex comes responsiblity and pregnancy is always a possiblity whatever methods of birth control are used.

If people wish to behave like adults they should then act like them.

It's a womans body, and her mind. Up to her to make the right decision for her and to live with it thereafter.

Free will applies. Legislate against abortion, and we're back to the back streets and knitting needles.

I trust all the 'pro-lifers' here only engage in sex when both parties are clear that the intent is to cause new life?

As long as I don't have to pay for it and the father gets a say.

I take the view if I make a choice to have sex with someone then preganancy is a possible result and I accept that.

I agree. Of course abortion should never be seen as an easy option and shouldbe discouraged. People still need to behave like adults and accept responsibility for their actions. However ultimately i think it is up to the mother (and father?) as to whether to have an abortion.
