First and foremost, it shouldn't be anyone's business except the mother's. If she gets pregnant and doesn't want to carry though with the 9 months of pregnancy, then she shouldn't have to.

I think the main problem with the abortion issue is that too many people are trying to impose their religious beliefs on other people. That's not right.

You might believe that a woman who is a few weeks pregnant has another "life" inside of her at that point, but I might see things differently and instead see it as merely a cluster of cells. To me, it's not alive in the sense that you'd think something to be alive. It's not a living breathing person and it doesn't have a developed mind that can think and act on its own.

The fact of the matter is, abortions are legal. If you don't agree with it, you kinda have to live with it. You have to realize that there are things in life that will no doubt upset you because they don't follow YOUR standards. What's wrong to you might not be wrong to someone else.

As long as the effects of what a person does doesn't harm anyone else, then why would anyone care? People are just too worried about what others are doing instead of focusing on their own problems.

[edit]
Some might say it's murder, but the technical definition of murder is UNLAWFUL killing of one human by another. Again, abortions are legal.
