OK, first of all lets not do any bashing on this forum. Its a clean learning disucssing environment and lets keep it that way. I understand the need to vent, but keep it somewhat professional.
With that said, my personal stance is that this is NOT the governments decision to make, I do think that people should be able to decide whether to have a baby or not. Also like some have mentioned rape and sexual assult sometimes cause the onset of pregnancy that was not willful. Also, this may seem unethical and cruel, but the fact of the matter is that sometimes its better to abort because 1, if you look at the sociaeconomic statistics of who gets abortions and who gets pregnant unintentionally, most of these people are of the lower class and if they are not ready to raise a child, the child will most likely become some nusience to society. (Criminal, Homeless etc). Obviously this isnt the case for every child but overall there is a general pattern, so I feel abortion is a better choice in that respect. Also abortion is not the same as murdering a child. First of all when its at its embryotic level of development, there is no certainty that it will even survive. Second a lot of potential abortion cases involve subjects who use drugs and alchol, thus birth defects are possible, and third killing a baby is mudering something already in existance that has pain and sensation, at the embryotic stage, its nieve to call it life in my opinion.
