It's an uncomfortable truth. I can understand why you want to distance yourself from it. I also understand we live in a free country ruled by democracy and if the law of the land says abortions are legal then they are legal. That doesn't make it right. Anyone who supports abortion for any other reason than to save the life of a mother has no moral high ground to stand on.
I understand this opinion and used to share it. Now, I just cannot say one side is always right and one is always wrong.
Years ago, someone very close to me had a teenage pregnancy with a guy who obviously had no future. This was back in the days when people "had to get married." I don't know how old you are but the older among us will understand the phrase. Her parents and she elected to go to NYC and have an abortion performed. The young lady went on to get a masters degree in education, married, raised two children and educate them. The young man she would have married became a homeless drug addict. She would have never know the children she had or the husband she lived with and loved.
I recognize this is just one case. An abortion is solely the decision of the mother and those she wants to involve. As a means of birth control I'm against it because there are better ways. But the aforementioned young lady is not a murderer and to characterize her as such is grossly unfair.
Beyond this, I really don't want to get into a debate on abortion. Most people are absolutely immovable on the subject. I do my best to keep an open mind, but I cannot correlate the death of a fetus with the death of a child.
Apologies for being so far off topic. This has become the main political thread.
