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?
