willravel - I actually agree with your stand. I was pointing out the absurdity of abortion. That it is acceptable to murder your children because they are not able to live outside a womans uterus yet.
Therefore, if it is acceptable to murder unborn children, why not born? What's the difference. They are still reliant on me as a parent for life (i.e. food, shelter, etc). They are still just a lump of screaming flesh for the first year at least anyway. Then they never make rational decisions until well after 18. Sounds like me as a parent should be able to have the 'freedom' to decide if this 'biological by-product' is not living up to the standards I set and thus wish to 'abort' them.
And for all those "What about incest, rape, deformations, etc". Think on this. Rape and incest are physical attacks that leave emotional scars. Why add murder on top of that? How is that fetus responsible for how their 'father's' genetic material was obtained? If the emotional scar is too much to bear, adoption has alway been an option. There is also about 50+ kinds of birth control methods available.
Responsibility and Morality does matter. Freedom of choice is not the trump card unless you believe in anarchy.
