I do consider abortion the worse thing a person could do, not only to him(her)self, but to his(her) own child. How can someone kill their own child because they "didn't want him", or "didn't expect him", or "can't afford it". That's simply bullshit, if you can afford having someone to have sex with, you can afford the child.
OK, and there comes some other issues. Raping victims, should they abort their own child? I say no, because the child will not have contact with that monster who raped that woman, and even in such condition a child can be loved and raised properly. If the family is too poor to raise a child, should it be aborted? HELL NO, those people who support that kind of abortion should fix the pooverty problem in the first place! And what if the mother's life is in danger because of the pregnancy? Well... it should be verified by doctors, and if the child would kill the mother AND himself, then an abortion would be inevitable... BUT if the child might live, even though the mother dies, the abortion should NOT be done: I don't know about you, but I would give my own life so my child would live without even thinking about it.
It's not a question of "oh, the child must die because it's going to be a pain in the ass for me", raising and loving our childs is part of the human nature, it's what makes us so special, and if we start killing our own unborn childs whenever we want, then we will stop being human beings.
By the way, abortion supporters, if you had an abortion sometime in your life, and then have a child some time later, would you have the guts to tell your child that you had an abortion before he/she was born? Woudln't your child think "It could have been me... Mommy could have killed me because she wanted to..."
Jimbo, I never thought I would say this, but I agree with you 100%
I would say if its to save the mothers life is the only time abortion should be legal. Even then I would disagree since the life of the child is more important. Even if the child would be affected by sins of the father its better then death in the womb. Pretty much I agree with you 100% to. You seem to be supportive of Kerry though. Vote for Kerry and the blood of those children is on your hands.
