The topic of Abortion

I think abortion should stay legal, rape and the health of the mother are the number one reasons, however there are others.

Not all abortions happen because the mother wants to do it. The first ultrasound can tell more than just the baby's gender, it can detect things like a birth defect that will give the child a very low quality of life (like a vegetative state for example) and sometimes the baby's health could be so poor, it could be a still-born. It is a tough situation, but many mothers do go through an abortion in that case.

Abortion can be done right. When the fetus is developed enough to be called a baby, then I do not think a abortion is the way to go if both the baby and mother are healthy, the mother can always put it up for adoption, however in the first trimester, especially in the first two months I do not see anything wrong with a abortion whatever the reason.

I’ll probably be attacked for saying this, but to me, a embryo is not a baby, a fetus in the first month or two is not a baby either, it is a group of living cells like a plant, that can grow to me more, unless you pick it. It is the same as a egg is not a chicken… but it CAN become one, and a blueprint is not a building… but it can if you work on it.

I also look at the fact that if Mary Sue next door wants an abortion, then that is up to her alone, it’s got nothing to do with me or the rest of the community. That is why I grumble at all the ‘pro-life’ activists, they don’t know the reasons why some mothers get abortions, nor should they care because it’s got nothing to do with them. If the pro-life activist get their way, that means a lot of unwanted or unhealthy children will be born, also some women and teenage girls lives will be at great risk depending on the complications they have with the pregnancy. They should also think about the unwanted children, some parents will accept the fact and become good parents, but that isn’t always the case, other unwanted kids will be treated differently and in some cases… abused, (That is my look on how they are treated, I really wish I had some accurate statistics to go on)

Jam it back in, in the dark.
