If anyone's support for the right of women to have abortions centers around some type of economic reason or any other practical reasoning like poverty levels and so forth then I think you need to really do some soul searching. It is no different than saying, "Well we have too many miserable kids in foster care so let's just put them out of their misery." or "We have too many people already. Might as well put a quota on couples and then kill of any extra kids they have".

I know that is not what anyone is meaning to to say but it IS what you are basically saying. You are saying that the needs of our econmoy and community are greater than one person's right to live and breathe. You are saying that it is better to deny someone's life rather than let them grow up in poverty. Why do you get to decide that? If that is the way you feel then well... I don't know. But if you feel like people have the right to live and have a chance then you should really re-evaluate your thoughts as to why you support abortion. A woman's right to her body is a much better argument to me. And one hard to argue against.

I'm 100% behind you, I'm a little appalled by Daseal's assertion.

Though I gotta say, I'll gladly argue against the woman's right to her body argument.

Oh I would too but you have to admit that that argument is a much stronger one and requires a lot more subjectivness than obectiveness. To me a person has a right to a life of freedom. That includes freedom from being killed. At the same time a pregnant woman has the same right to freedom. So here there has to be a judgement based decision. I fall on the side of the baby's life but can see much more clearly the opposing arguments.
