I see it as an act that's very, VERY easy to rationalize. Easier that most other lesser crimes. Given that convincing (but ultimately incorrect, in my view) arguments can be made for the prenate not being a human life, I can imagine the act of abortion being easier to rationalize than petty theft or white lies. And I think that counts for something. Intent may not count in the arena of consequences, but I think that it should factor into the guilt equation. If the intent is wholly or mostly to go through an operation akin to an appendectomy, then that was the intent. Likewise for hardship arguments predicated on the idea that the prenate isn't a 'full' human being yet. I don't believe for a second that every woman, or most women, receiving elective abortions have malicious or callous intentions.
Additionally, I don't see the value in that kind of harsh, emotional language being used by, in this case, soccerchamp. It doesn't help anyone.

thankyou for this,i value your opinion even soccerchamps opinion(if it were put more sensitively)i think its a very very difficult choice and if i could go back i never would have gone through with it,but i cant and i have to live with the decision i have made.i respect everyones opinion because they are fair and every person is individual to have their own mind.i have repleyed it over and over in my mind what id done to that life,for it wasnt mine to take away.had i been strongwilled then id have kept the baby,iv wished a million times over i could take it back,if i could id giv my own life to that baby but the fact is i cant and i hope the life i took away will forgive me.there is a famous sayimg that makes sense in situations like these "you dont know what youve lost until its gone" and i would NEVER advise any woman to go through with an abotion as it is a heart-breaking experience.i hope that any women reading this can accept and come to terms with their experience and move on with their lives.
