For my thoughts on abortion; It needs to be legal, otherwise thousands of women would die from illegal operations from street doctors. It's better to abort the baby before it's born rather than just dump the baby once it's born. Think of all the trouble the midwives and doctors who spend all that time and effort assisting the mother give birth. All that effort is completely wasted if they just decide to dump the baby or (heaven forbit) beat the crap out of the baby. Think about what's best in this case; Aborting the baby out of mercy or letting the baby/child live a horrible life where they are unwanted, beaten up, left for dead.
What about young girls who are not ready for a baby or are raped? If they don't have an abortion their life will almost certainly be ruined. I'd rather pick the lesser of two evils in this case. Giving up the baby for adoption isn't straightforward either due to all the legal hassle and the dreaded "who is my real mummy/daddy?" chat.
The "Every Sperm is Sacred" viewpoint is just ridiculous, let's not lose point of what's important here. Potential life is a bit of a skeptical viewpoint in my opinion.
Case in point: Every piece of food that's gone past it's sell-by-date is "potential food". Just because it 'was' food doesn't mean it's desirable anymore. I would rather bin it than become ill by forcing myself to eat it. Potentials and what-ifs aren't worth considering, simply because most don't actually happen. If you keep thinking about what MIGHT happen, you will waste your entire life worrying about things that do or do not happen.
Note: These views are my own and I do not impose them on anybody. You can choose to ignore my post if you like and carry on your life as if you had never read it.
