Its simply none of my business, and unless its your wife we are talking about...its not yours either.

So you are putting a child on the level of a harmful drug?
I'm not anti-abortion myself, but the 'pro' arguments really need to quit trying to sugar coat the issue.
With abortion you are killing a viable human. It doesn't matter that its only viable while with the mother. For one thing children are only 'viable' with adult care for the first decade or so of their life, another issue will be there will come a time when you can have an 'artificial womb' in which case the argument will be void.
In some odd way this reminds me of the arguments for music/software piracy. Everyone is trying to hard to justify it and can't say 'Yes I'm stealing it'. Its time to face the music here too, "Yes an abortion kills a human, but I don't think its that big a deal."
No one wants to be the bad guy but an abortion is a purely selfish act, even when it is justifiable, and I do think you can have a justifiable abortion.
