Everyone's kinda starting to repeat themselves, so I'll let this be my last post.

Here's the reality of it all: if you're against it, you don't have much choice. You have to live with the fact that our society practices abortions.

You have every right to speak out against it and to have a differing opinion, but really nothing beyond that. It's honestly no one else's business what choices other people make in their lives unless it affects YOU directly and it's pretty ignorant to believe otherwise. Seriously, if my g/f decides to get an abortion in the future, that's our (her) choice and no one else's. To us, it is the right choice. Unless you are in MY shoes living MY life (or can prove the how it has ruined/affected your life in any way), then you kinda just have to respect that decision.

...and using "he could've been Einstein" is absurd for obvious reasons.

If I take a stroll in the park on the northern path, I could meet a person who inspires me to get into biology where I will eventually find a cure for cancer... but that day I decide to take the south path instead. So did I just fuck humanity out of the only chance at a cure for cancer? Well, if it never happened, then no. You can't predict the future. Life is a series of cause and effect and because of this, you can't use a "what if" as an argument and expect it to hold any water. It hasn't happened and it never will, so you'll never know.
