what exactly did you learn about the development of babies changed your mind?

How the brain develops, the rate of growth, the physical transformation. It all happens much earlier than we previously thought.

1) do you realize how many different medical complications (life threatening and non) can come with preganancy? and that's not too mention the hormonal swings, physical discomforts, wierd food cravings, relationship complications, post-partum depression, etc, that a woman will go through (or may, depending on which thing). to force that on a woman who doesn't want it... you may as well lock her in a cell and torture her for 9 months. personally, i prefer my women to be incubators by choice, not force.

All of which is easily outweighed by the fact that taking the innocent life of a baby is about a million times worse than anything you just described.

2) most people adopting want new borns. what happens when there are more new borns then people want to adopt? and then think about the older kids that people aren't taking. what about them? is brining kids up in the foster system really fair to the kids? and why should my taxes pay for your mistake for 18 years?

I think we can cross that bridge when we come to it - right now there is a dearth of adoptable newborns, which is why people are going to China and Russia to adopt children.

3) if you had them get sterilized after it, that's the same as murder. if they want to have kids one day, but are not ready yet (and that's why they'd have prefered an abortion to forced preganancy + adoption), then by sterilizing them you're pre-emptively killing any future children she planned on having.

Not even close; no life was taken in this example you provide. That's like saying every time you jack off you're killing thousands of unborn children.
