I wonder how the mother feels knowing that she has killed her kid?
She hasn't killed a kid, she's killed something that had the potential to become a kid. Big difference.

-No civilized society permits one human to intentionally harm or take the life of another human without punishment, and abortion is no different.
See my first point, same applies here.

-An abortion can result in medical complications later in life; the risk of ectopic pregnancies doubles, and the chance of a miscarriage and pelvic inflammatory disease also increases.
These are very low risk issues, and frankly actually having a child comes with it's own physical burdens too.

-Adoption is a viable alternative to abortion and accomplishes the same result. And with 1.5 million American families wanting to adopt a child, there is no such thing as an unwanted child.
Are you joking!?!? There are so many children all over the world who need adopting, yet you'd rather people kept having kids and kept putting them up for adoption? That's horrendous logic. Really poor bro...

-In the instance of rape and incest, proper medical care can ensure that a woman will not get pregnant. Abortion punishes the unborn child who committed no crime; instead, it is the perpetrator who should be punished.
If a child is to be born into an unhappy life; It's hardly punishment. And the 'child' is barely even human yet at the time of (legal) abortion, it's just a potential child. Just as each individual sperm is half of a potential child, too. Again, not liking the logic here.

-Abortion should not be used as another form of contraception.
Why? As I've said a few times now, the potential kid is still only potential. Abortion's aren't that dissimilar from contraception in terms of moral values, if you look at it factually.

-For women who demand complete control of their body, control should include preventing the risk of unwanted pregnancy through the responsible use of contraception or, if that is not possible, through abstinence.
This has nothing to do with abortion(that I can see).

-Abortion frequently causes intense psychological pain and stress.
People get over all sorts of psychological pain and stress. And one of the key reasons women feel so bad after adoption is because they're as uninformed as yourself and like yourself they believe they've just killed their own child, when in actual fact they've just temporarily erased the potential for their own child. Big difference, again.

-Since life begins at conception, abortion is akin to murder as it is the act of taking human life. Abortion is in direct defiance of the commonly accepted idea of the sanctity of human life
Read the above points of mine, it makes your's invalid.

-Those who choose abortions are often minors or young women with insufficient life experience to understand fully what they are doing. Many have lifelong regrets afterwards.
That sounds like the description of either a terrible mother or someone who'll continue the adoption issue(the issue being there's already too many up for adoption as explained above).
