Oh shite... Better stock up on their coat hangers!
My stance is that viewing sex as nothing more than a means of procreation ignores all the other equally important reasons: Emotional bonding and the more obvious physical satisfaction. And an abortion may be appropriate if an accident occurs when the couple is only ready for the emotional responsibility and such but not parenthood. Moreover, a baby should not be born as a "punishment"--thinking that it should be is a disgusting and absurd thought. Children should only be born into a life of love; birth should be a happy event rather than regretful.
Interesting quotation regarding the debate: "Whether or not abortion should be legal turns on the answer to the question of whether and at what point a fetus is a person. This is a question that cannot be answered logically or empirically. The concept of personhood is neither logical nor empirical: It is essentially a religious, or quasi-religious idea, based on one's fundamental (and therefore unverifiable) assumptions about the nature of the world."
Basically, you can kick and scream saying a fertilized egg is a person while someone else may argue it's not until it has brain waves or maybe not until it's even delivered. There's absolutely no way of settling the argument.
