just want to get an opinion on the way i view abortion. What is worse:

1. Having an unwanted child who can not be truly cared for due to lack of mental and financial preparedness. Ultimately resolving in an unhappy upbringing, and eventual life. How many of you know babies who have been born to unwanting teenaged families who are screwed up?

2. Aborting the child, and in essence depriving it of sentience.

Additionally, in these times of economic hardship do we really need any more welfare families draining the governments already stretched system?

So what do you think?

Can we stop with the sweeping generalisations from the pro-abortion camp please?

No apparently we don't, because an egg and a sperm have to meet and as soon as they meet it's baby time! So if you shoot a lazer at a sperm and kill it whilst it's 3nm away from the egg, it's ok coz they haven't fertilised yet.

Not murder :shy:

I would like to repeat for the thousandth time that I've not once called it murder. I've been calling it killing.

Thanks Katie.

I think aborting the child in that situation is selfish.. there are thousand's of people who want children to adopt but are on ridulously long waiting lists, many who will never adopt.

out of your hard situation bring someone joy

Yeah and how many of these people are willing to adopt babies with severe medical conditions?

I think that some would be willing

EDIT: and some have no choice cos they find out after the child is born

i'm not sure what your objection is, and i'm not sure how you think you can get away with calling this distinction arbitrary when you yourself believe that abortions can take place up until around about 24 weeks when there exists some magical dividing line upon which time it becomes wrong.

Yes there are some that are willing. But are you actually implying that a large percentage of adoptive parents want to adopt a baby with a severe medical condition?

I highly doubt it.

I've already covered my stance on this. I don't know how many times I have to explain to you the difference between a viable life and a non viable life.

you haven't covered your stance at all because you don't understand the objection i'm raising. this post itself has a big fat fuzzy dividing line that you're going to have to justify. When is the concrete time at which it ends. Why is this so.
