it isn't an 'attitude'. i believe that sometimes its the best option. you implied that, without a valid medical reason, abortion was careless. sometimes people become pregnant unwillingly, accidentally or even unknowingly. an unsuspecting underage could accidentally become pregnant. what then? do they have to go through childbirth, raise that child and struggle with school? or maybe have their child taken away from them and have that same child grow up without its real parents, if any at all?

or you could go the other way. if someone was raped, and found out they were pregnant due to it. there's no medical reason why they should abort. should they raise that child knowing its father was a rapist? do you tell the child about how they were conceived? do you just lie, or tell them that they don't know who their father is? and that's without even considering the possibility that the child may grow up to look like the very person who raped the mother. that is not freedom of choice, and these are the very basics.

i have no doubt that my two examples have, obviously, happened before and they did raise the child and probably lived happily ever after, but that isn't always the case. hell no.
