I'm still not sure which side of the fence you are on; pro or anti, but here are my thoughts.
Every woman should have a right to manage her own reproductive health and it should not be of any concern to the government or anybody else. At conception and for some months thereafter, the 'fetus' is but a conglomeration of cells, just like a cancer or tumor, and for a woman who doesn't want a baby, just as unwelcome.
I might have some respect for the right to lifers if they each adopted at least one unwanted inner city crack baby, but they don't, do they?
I love how those most vociferous about right to life are also those who are trying to shut down health care and the food assistance programs that are meant to help the very children their beliefs promote. How's that for being two faced!
Well, since where I live, it's been legal for quite a while, there's no political need to pick a side anymore. But it feels like the ethical dilemma has been put behind as if it was solved, and I don't see how it was. As far as I know, by the time you can even be sure you're pregnant, the fetus has developed well beyond a tumor like growth. By two months the fetus has, arms, legs, a brain, a beating heart and it's moving around. Sure, it doesen't make memories and hasen't developed a personality, but neither does a newborn. But whenever you read about a mother killing her baby after it's born, there seems to be a huge public outrage. Of course I don't mean we should judge anyone for having an abortion. It just feels like a double standard.
The part about the adoption is true though. It also makes me furious when those people judge young mothers. Also a double standard.
Is it normal I'm ashamed of my honest opinion about abortion?

You pretend to sail the world from your mother's basement.
