In the case of the childs quality of life being so poor and miserable - a single mother that doesn't want it, a society that doesn't want it, no money, no father - I am unsure that the birth of an unwanted, poverty stricken child is doing this child a big favor. Lets make the mother have the child and then send that child to jail later for the crimes it commits because its mother isn't CAPABLE of doing an adequate job. > I'm talking about a woman who decides to have an abortion not because > her life is in danger, but because she just doesn't feel like having a > child. I think you are being picky about my words here. (Although I did > the same thing to the person who said the child wasn't "alive" when it > was in the womb. ;) I am being picky about your words because they trivialize the many women who have an abortion not because its "convenient" but because it would ruin their lives and the life of the child not to. It trivializes the many women who are responsibly using birth control and get pregnant anyway. And finally because the only people who abortion is "convenient" to is men - they don't have to deal with the responsibility of the baby, the birth control or the abortion. They just have to screw someone. ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
