I'm just too old-school for this guys... I am 100%, downright against this. Who gives the woman the right to determine whether this helpless child, a person who is unable to defend himself/herself, should live or die! We as humans should protect and cherish life instead of being irresponsible, creating an actual human life and then destroy it!
So then are you against condoms? Because each sperm is a potential life. Condoms have spermicide, which kills off sperm. Therefore, condoms not only prevent babies, they downright kill them. A sperm is a potential life. A fetus is a potential life. Neither one knows the difference between life and death. Neither one can hold a grudge against you if you kill it. Neither one can defend itself.

As for rape babies, I'm sorry but they're people too!
A fetus isn't a person, it's a potential life. And a fetus from rape is a potential life forcefully shoved into the body of an unwilling woman. Forgive me if I think the woman should be able to decide whether or not she wants to keep a constant reminder of a terrible experience.

Just because their conception was never intended and somewhat unrequited (lol), that does not make the child any less human! You all say how its "the womans body!! No government should tell us what to do!" But what about the child? Its the woman's body, but its a human life.
Listen, if the woman never had sex in the first place, the child would not exist. So what's the difference if she decides she doesn't want to bring a child into the world?

Ask yourself this: what if your mother had done that? Do you honestly think you'd be here right now?
Unless I had superpowers, no, no I would not. But you know what, I wouldn't care, because I wouldn't have known. The thing is, everyone is concerned with the child's life, except for the child. And of course, when a matured human is told that their mother was considering an abortion, they're going to be grateful. Humans are raised with the idea that life is amazing, and that death is mysterious and scary. And I agree, however, humans then become biased. From an objective viewpoint, the child wouldn't have cared if it was aborted. It wouldn't have known.
