Default Re: Abortion - 31st January 2005

Im only with abortion if the birth process threatens the mother's life.
Even though im not religious, i believe in all other cases, when no life is threatened, abortion should be illegal.
The arguments and cases that are sometimes presented do not convince me at all:

1- Some say if a fetus is proven to have an anomaly, and that it will be born incurably handicapped, that it is right to end its life, for it not to suffer.

But if dying was better than the life it was going to lead, then lets kill all handicapped people already alive!!! or why are they not killing themselves.

2- Some say its not developped, and that at early times it doesnt have full capacities therefore it is not human.

WHEN ARE WE EXACTLY FULLY DEVELOPPED?
A BORN baby is hardly a fraction of what we now are, with hardly a fraction of our now present abilities, just as an UNBORN baby is to the born baby.
Therefore i believe killing it, unless it is to save the mother's life, is MURDER.

3- Now why would i accept killing it if the mother was in danger?
Simply because nature and life are not always black or white, there are cases sometimes that present a dilemna.
We cannot ask or expect or force someone, nor do i want to, to give up their life for another. She has the right to defend and preserve her life.
