Of all the statements in this thread, I agree with this one the most. As a liberal I have to tell myself it's none of my business and it's a moral debate with compelling arguments for both sides and that means I should accept and support the person that makes that decision regardless of the decision I'd make in the same situation.
Abortion is preventable, true. But even if there were no abortions, would we not just start arguing about the next step of the reproduction chain? Would we start arguing that every time a man spills his seed on the ground that he committed a sin, or every unfertilized egg is a child that goes unborn? If not, Why not? I've already seen the argument made, I could only see it being more popular if abortion was non-existent.
