kana emo sad na opinion bro.... pero ngano man d ay dili pwde na eya epasagop sa mga charity...... kay sa patyon na dili man na nya sala....... kon ikaw kuno ang bata ok ra ka......?

if im the child, and by the time i grow up knowing i have 10 fathers who raped my mom, ill hang myself up - meaning ill be embarace and hope my mom aborted me. now, il throw back the question to you.

what would u do, if u live a normal life while growing up, then when ur 16 u ask, mama, wheres papa? or do i have a daddy? then ur mama says, i dont know ur daddy, coz i was gang raped.

or, if your the lady gang raped by a ruthless criminal, left you half-dead, then u got preggy, what would you do? practicalay lang ta bro.

@tingkoy13 - skyblue lord - i agree with u guys, its an honest and noble thing to do if your that illegitimate child. and i salute for those people who battled their demons and succesfully surpass their struggle while growing up. Now, the other side of the coin, which i bet u would agree with me...

the apple does not fall far from the tree or simply DNA characteristics.

[tingkoy13]

agree ko ana but still ang bata naa ghapon chans nga matarong ug dala iyang kinabuhi... depende nana sa iyang kaugalingon sad nuon, gusto ba niyang ma evil o ma angel... hehehe

actually divided ko ani because in the medical field, if the mother who is pregnant is having medical complications that may endanger her and the baby, the doctor can actually abort the baby because the mother is to be of top priority. on the other hand, this might also be abused because what if the mother, especially those unwanted pregnancies would resort to other means of trying to abort it because abortion is legalize. suppose the mother take contraceptive drugs during pregnancy? what will happen is that when she goes on her OB-GYNE to have her monthly check-ups, manifestations of the drugs she took would later be known by the doctor thus, obviously the doctor will suggest aborting the baby because the mother will always be the top priority.

The Revised Penal Code of the Philippines

Chapter One
DESTRUCTION OF LIFE

Section Two. — Infanticide and abortion.

Art. 255. Infanticide. — The penalty provided for parricide in Article 246 and for murder in Article 248 shall be imposed upon any person who shall kill any child less than three days of age.

Art. 256. Intentional abortion. — Any person who shall intentionally cause an abortion shall suffer:

1. The penalty of reclusion temporal, if he shall use any violence upon the person of the pregnant woman.
2. The penalty of prision mayor if, without using violence, he shall act without the consent of the woman.

3. The penalty of prision correccional in its medium and maximum periods, if the woman shall have consented.

Art. 257. Unintentional abortion. — The penalty of prision correccional in its minimum and medium period shall be imposed upon any person who shall cause an abortion by violence, but unintentionally.

Any pharmacist who, without the proper prescription from a physician, shall dispense any abortive shall suffer arresto mayor and a fine not exceeding 1,000 pesos.

Below are just my initial pros and con list of both sides of the coin.

Pro-Abortion
1. Due to incurable disease of mother or child.
2. In cases of extreme deformity of the fetus.
3. In cases of rape. (Currently against Art. 258 ) But in cases where the rapist has communicable disease that would either lead to 1 & 2.

Anti-abortion
1. Right to life of the child as stated in the constitution. But this is only applicable when the life of the mother is not in danger.
2. Possible abuse of teen mothers.


The phrase "Legalizing Abortion" is to some extent mis-leading. Legalizing doesn't necessarily mean it is a free for all as what most of the post here are trying to project. Legalizing means placing restrictions according to the existing law of the land, in this case the Revised Penal Code of the Phils. Right now our law explicitly forbades any form of abortion and doesn't provide any exemption that otherwise would be legally reasonable. Thus, "Legalizing" would not necessarily mean allowing freely.

The Pro-abortion items #1 & #2 from the medical standpoint and for humane reasons are for me acceptable. These two cases should be addressed in the current penal code. There should be a law that defines that set of requirements that should be followed before a legal abortion will be done. Framing a law that will cover #1 & #2 will not only prevent abuse but will also possibly allow the person involve assistance from the government.

Pro-abortion case #3, I am still undecided with this case. The extent on how the woman was rape and/or the state of the man raping her should be considered when making a decision. This is still up for the grab for me.

as i said before... if your a male... then you have no business pushing your opinions too much... why?

... kay ang babaye manganak
... kay ang babaye biyaan sa laki, maoy mo padako sa iya bata
... kay kapila na nahitabo nga dili biyaan sa laki ug tabangan patubu sa bata... nya biyaan rapud...
... kay babaye dyud kasagarn bsta bata nay sturyaan ... lol..

get it?... its ok to pitch in ur opinion... but dont push too much if dili ka babaye...
