They have always taught me to take responsibility for my actions, and abortion is definetly not taking responsibility for your actions. It'd be hard for me to respect them if I found out that they had abortions before or after me.
You and I apparently have a different view of what "responsible" entails. There are about ten gigajazillion reasons where choosing to abort a child is the "responsible" choice, especially considering infant life and the means of the parent.

And really, I don't see a difference between miscarriage and abortion. Miscarriage is just God aborting the embryo, whereas abortion is a well-trained MD aborting the embryo.

Stressing about a decision your parents made AT LEAST 18 years ago is pretty silly, don't you think? I was a bastard when I was born -- my parents divorced and only re-married because I was concieved. I could certainly stress over this .. but it happened 20 years ago.

Let dead dogs die. (Ouch, I didn't intend that pun.. )

To be frank, this sounds like another spin on the trite "think about what that embryo coulda been" argument that those anti-choicer's use everytime abortion comes up in a rational discussion. I prefer "think about how fucked up that kid woulda been had he been borne to those parents."
