Well I don't mind if it's just your opinion that abortion is bad. Everyone can have thier own opinion. I'm just arguing against the people who want it to stay illegal. By that, I'm talking about in New Zealand (where I live). Strange, but in a secular nation like ours, abortion is illegal except in rape, to save mothers life and so on. I don't understand how the US, a religious nation, has a more liberal stance on abortion than us. Over here, there was a polynesian immigrant, whose father said he would kill her if she didn't get it abortion. She couldn't get one, and had to go through with the pregnancy. She lied to her dad, saying she got an illegal abortion, because she was so scared. She had to stay at her friends house to hide the fact that she was still pregnant. In the end, she was so scared and confused, she gave birth in her friends toilet, the baby drowned. She's not a murderer, just a threatened and a confused girl. The pro-life groups murdered the baby, and sent the mother to jail (she only got a few years, to the circumstances, but I bet it has scarred her for life). No one wins, apart from the pro-life groups. They get to feel good about themselves. Complete, utter bastards.
You can't murder an embryo. No matter how hard you try. It isn't a living organism. And it's pretty trivial, to say 'if you don't want it, give it up for adoption'. This would only make the mother feel guilty. I don't think it would happen that much, when the child has been born, mothers have maternal instincts. No matter how hard it might be for them to keep it, no matter how much it would mess up the mothers life, some would feel as if they have a duty to keep it, once it's born. It's a duty that has been forced on them by people who think they know better.
