I don't see anything universally wrong with abortion, but then again there is nothing wrong with killing a person either; heck, as far as that matters, both actions are equivalent to something like breaking up a pile of dirt.
And from an economic/social standpoint, life is very cheap simply due to its great abundance.
What I find funny though is that many of these abortion advocates are also the humanistic types, saying that it is fine to abort the fetus (or the pile of dirt, for that matter) but it is not okay to do anything to a live human; as Kamikaze said, this is both contradictory and stupid.
Say you find out your unborn child is destined for a life of debilitating handicap. Some argue that if you choose to abort that child you're denying him a chance at life. But then you could just as well argue that if you keep the baby, you're denying life to the one you would have conceived after it.
Actually, to extend this argument, you could also say that by not spending every moment of your existence conceiving children, you are "denying" these potential children their chance at life.
and besides.. If I were a thirteen year old schoo / whore.. I wouldn't necasarily want a child .. and I don't think you would either.
in this case, abort both the child and the parents.
Before I say anything else, I fully support the right to choose your own path.
I say that people are just deluded by society into thinking that they have a right to "free choices;" nobody has any rights to choose because nobody has any true capability to choose in the first place.
There's a marvelously written article here that convincingly argues that a human being is a human being from the moment of conception.
Actually, it could easily be argued that the pile of dirt mentioned earlier will form a human being too, given time and the appropriate conditions (which is true in the case of a fetus as well).
