A born child stays dependant on outside and others help for many years. That does not make it right to kill it (im not implying you ment that, im just replying point by point)

well indeed some do that. In freedom of choice countries, if the parents disagree it is the woman’s view that prevails because she physically bears the child and is more directly affected by the pregnancy.
It remains a personal choice with the huge responsibility it encloses. The pg woman has to assume the whole responsibility of this pregnancy with all it consequences.
Naturally there will always be an infinitesimal number of women that are immature. But as awful as this could seem, we still cannot force them to keep an unwanted child. There can always seek an illegal abortion.

Yes its a woman's burden to carry the child for 9 monthes, but its that child's whole life thats at stake.

Given fact: Laws have never stopped abortion, but only relegated it to back-alley butchers. Ironically, countries with restrictive abortion laws have a significant number of illegal abortions. 40% of abortions performed annually worldwide are illegal and unsafe (keeping in mind that the UN institutes and NGOs couldn’t keep track of all illegal ones!)

Laws have not stopped murder nor theft either.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but I hope you and the 35.71% will change your mind for the sake of women's! I firmly believe that Access to Abortion is a matter of responsibility, CHoice and Right. It is also an effective deterrent to illegal and unsafe back-alley abortions

Between the right of choice of the mother, and the right of LIFE of the baby, i chose life.
He is unable to communicate his choice, nor is he able to form one.
Nor is a born baby. Laws must protect it.
Abortion should only be allowed in case a mother is in danger, health dangers because of the pregnancy.
All matters concerning her right to chose in general, her financial well-being, how much she wants it, seem rather small in comparison with taking away life.
The whole debate i believes shrinks to how and when you consider life to have begun, as you mentioned.
I am not religious but
I believe that as a fetus, the process of development has started. And it doesnt stop. A born baby is not fully developped either, neither are we....
