Empathy, you say? How about having some empathy for that unborn child who didn't ask to be conceived and now has to suffer thru great pain (however brief it may be) and die because his or her mother and the guy whom she spread her legs for only cared about their own very short-term pleasure and now the mother sees the child as an inconvenience?I certainly think there are special cases where good arguments can be made that abortion should be legal (mainly in cases of rape or ones in which the mother's life would be in danger) but those are only a tiny percentage of the overall number of abortions.
You don't have to sell me on that, that's why I spoke of first world vs third world abortions. I am against them on a personal lvl but don't believe that's a tenable position for the USA and I am open to legal first term abortions......later terms not so much minus problems with mother or unborn child.
