Pro, I totllay agree with your thoughts. the only time abortion should be an option is in a case where the mothers life is in dangered by carrying the baby. if the doctor comes to the mother and says "if you continue the pregnancy you will have a 50% chance of living." then the mother can decide if her life is worth giving up to bring the baby into the world or not, she can also find out what the babies chances are. Odds are if her chances are 50/50 of surviving, the babies odds arent 100% either.
for sake of argument religion doesnt even have to play a role here. yes it does play a role in my decision, I personally believe invitro is the same as an abortion. that depends on when you believe life begins, my belief is that life begins when sperm meets egg but I have never sat down for a one on one with god to ask him that question so of course you are all entitled to your opinions too, and they dont offend me.
an argument I make without bringing in religion is this: do you believe it is murder to kill an animal for its fur? "fur is murder"? if so then how can you say abortion isn't murder? just because it isnt born yet? any woman who has ever been pregnant can tell you that they feel a life inside them, the baby moves and kicks, in many cases it responds to certain noises songs tv shows and foods. those mothers know that life begins a long time before the baby is born, and a long time before partial birth abortions.
I am a man, but dont jump down my throat for being pro-life rather than womans choice. when I was 18 I had been dating the same girl for over 3 years. mid-way through senior year in high school she was suddenly very depressed. she finally told me that she had an abortion. she didnt tell me she was pregnant because she thought I would want her to have an abortion. then she got one and didnt want totell me about it because she realized that I would have done anything to provide for her and the child, even if we ended up not being together, married or whatever, I would have done anything to take care of the baby. we were irresponsible and got pregnant, I didnt know it and now I am partially responsible for what I consider murder. I have a son or a daughter who I will never meet, untill the afterlife. I was very upset but I told her right away that there was nothing for me to forgive. I in some way had lead her to believe that I would have pressured her to have an abortion. I was in atleast that way equally responsible so no I never blamed her. she however was very upset that I wasnt mad, I think she needed me to be mad at her because she couldnt forgive herself.
if you are not ready to have a child, dont have sex. if you are raped or mollested, give it up for adoption, babies get families before they are born. its older kids who get stuck in the system. if you are raped/mollested and are 12 or so (old enough to get pregnant but so young that a pregnancy would cause a lot of health problems, maybe even permanently) then abortion should be an option but it should opnly be done very early on.
