Basically I'm for free abortion, when it is done in early stages of pregnancy. Of course other birth control methods are much more preferable. It should be the woman's right to decide, no pressure for abortion from outside. Although the idea of aborting girl fetuses feels really distorted. The need of male offspring is created by patriarchal society. That problem dissolves only by the society evolving beyond that structure. In a heavily patriarchal society, if abortion is not permitted, it is possible that baby girls are killed. I was myself born as an unwanted child to a 19-year-old immature teenager. And my mother kept telling me how I had spoiled her life and was also physically violent towards me. I don't want that fate to anyone. Every child should feel that she is welcome and loved.
