-Whoever brought up the fact that the Roe vs. Wade complaintants are now against it, made a very good point.
-I would think the emotional scars of having an abortion (killing your child) would be much tougher to go through life with, than a beautiful child that happens to be the product of a rape. (Don't get me wrong, rape is horrible, but it's not the babies fault.)
-We have waaay too many single moms in this day and age and that's sad. It really does make it tough on them to raise a kid by themself. This is exactly the point where I place the fair share of the blame on the father. It takes two to tango, so if you get her knocked up, you damn well better be there for her and your kid.
-Stingy, I am against abortion in all cases, meaning I, myself, would never support one in any event. I do, however, see the arguement behind it being considered for cases of rape, incest, and mother's health issues. I don't agree with it, and I wouldn't choose it for myself, but in those instances, I do believe it should be up to the mother & father (if applicable). Those are special circumstances.
Basically it boils down to this....
With the countless different forms of birth control (natural family planning like Gothic Chick said, condoms, pills, operations, patches, etc.) out there, there really is no excuse for an unplanned pregnancy other than laziness, stupidity or immaturity. If you are having sex, there is a chance you will end up with an unplanned pregnancy. There are a large number of things you can do to avoid this outcome, however many people are too laxy, stupid, immature to take the neccesary precautions.
That is the real problem. Too many people having sex that are not prepared to deal with the responsibility that goes along with it.
