I'm a firm Pro-Lifer. Why? That child has no say...the parents did. He either could have worn a condom, or just flat not stuck his cock in her. She could have been on the pill, or used something else. They are responsible, completely.
Now, there are extenuating circumstances, where one or both of the lives (mother or baby) are at severe risk. In that case, I'm not opposed. There has to be some sort of common sense involved.
By the way, extenuating circumstances do NOT include a birth defect, a child born from her cheating, or a few others I can't think of right now. Possibles would be a rape. Although, even then, I would advise to carry it, and then put it up for adoption. I would advise adoption anyways, as there are plenty of good people out there that can't have kids.
One more thing...in what I've read so far (the first page on my screen), this has stayed calm. That's great. We can agree to disagree on stuff. There's not a whole lot of point in getting heated over things. Thanks for that...let's keep it up.
