But human life is sacred, even on a non-religious level. What could be better, we are capable of happiness, sadness, a hundred more emotions. Intelligence, character, friendship, beauty, compassion. We evolved over millions of years to become to complete, unchallenged dominant species.
And I agree with Dix, if there's rape involved or a severe medical condition that would render the child horribly unhappy for its life, perhaps abortion should be discussed as an option. I have a third cousin (if that's the right term), born a year or two ago who has a horrible condition, something that I believe would have been life threatening, he needs a fake vocal cord, he needs tubes to help him relieve himself and I think he has had internal surgery of the heart and lungs. But I believe his is now a happy little boy.
Even in my own life story, I had mucus in my lungs as a baby and was in a lot of trouble but I wasn't aborted thank the Lord God and now here I am, fine as day.
