Which is a problem the woman brought upon themselves by having sex in the first place. Someone who is dying of cancer didn't choose to get cancer, they had no control. This woman decided to have sex, while knowing the possible outcome, brought these consequences upon herself. If having a child will ruin the quality of your life, then grow a ****ing brain and don't have sex. It's not like - "oops, I accidentally had sex, I'm a victim now because I can't support the baby now."And besides, if it's the quality of their own life that would be dampered, why abort it, why not just put it up for adoption after it's born?
Because the simple fact is, BF, that some people just don't want adoption, they want abortion and they have every right to make that choice.
I agree that abortions are going to be used by irresponsible idiots and if you have no desire to pay for those, or any abortion, then fine by me. That's no reason to make movements to eradicate the procedure is it? Just because you disagree with it.
I don't like the idea that there are idiots who buy knives to kill people, but people also buy knives for reasons I am fine with. Just like abortion.

Err... what kind of freaky morality were YOU taught?OBVIOUSLY the second is much worse. The woman can kill simply because she created it? That's hideous, AC. What the heck are you doing saying something like that? The baby had no choice in the matter, the situation is CLEARLY worse!
The woman can have an ABORTION because it's her foetus. If you let the baby be born and then kill it, yes I agree that's a bit stupid.
If you create a foetus and decide that you want it aborted, then you have that right. It's yours, you've decided within the right timeframe and abortion is still an option.
It's her foetus, the baby is living off her and if it continues to do so, it will be born. She has every right to say "I don't want this" and end it.
