  1. Abortion these days is just termed ‘termination of pregnancy’. Women should always be given this right by choice. The law is antiquated. Change it!

  2. An embrio is not a child. Not every dandelion seed becomes a dandilion. Also any country that legalized homosexuality promotes machinist way of life. Next those homosexuals will use woman for their wombs to become reproductive. A woman is not a womb-man. Get rid of homosexuals so woman do not become parts of reproduction on food chain.

  3. Antigua and Barbuda’s abortion laws debate is a complex issue, touching real lives. Compassion and empathy should guide our approach, considering women’s well-being and their right to make informed decisions. Legalizing abortion acknowledges life’s complexities, while creating a safe, supportive environment for women facing difficult circumstances. Yes, let’s engage in open dialogue, embracing diverse perspectives to find a way forward.

  4. No really. In the case of abortion though the woman is often misinformed (e.g. by the unscientific media) into believing that a foetus is “not a person” or “like a seed”. A foetus is a regular human being just like you but whose cells are at an earlier stage of development and who happens to live in the womb for a while. Even born babies cells are still developing but they are now out of the womb. The term “foetus” is just a label for a particular stage of development. It’s the same person from beginning to end of life, from conception to death. Women also make emotional decisions for abortion e.g. fear of poverty and other social situations. But, society can easily create a supportive environment for new birth if it chooses to. No need for abortions. Overall, abortion should be illegal. Perhaps women who were in a proven emotional state can have penalities reduced. Penalties should be increased for anyone, including medical professionals, who aid and abet abortions because they are just in it for the money and often push women in that direction instead of advising them about other options. So, if the law is changed it should be to increase penalties against people and organisations who assist.
