How could the best thing for the baby ever be abortion? The parents working all day and not paying much attention to the conscious baby. The unconscious baby can be aborted to avoid all that. So your saying the baby would rather have not lived than have a crappy childhood? Your assuming quite a lot there. Humans always assume, we have to in some cases. Especially to something that we can't even talk to or IT doesn't even knows IT'S OWN SELF exists. But it will.A life is a life, whether it knows it or not. Can you justify slaughtering animals for the fun of it, because they're not self-aware? You can't say it's definitely going to live, and it really isn't a life yet, it's still a bunch of cells forming, although 5 months in really is late to be getting an abortion, I don't agree with that myself, but it's their choice. You can't justify slaughtering animals because they're (arguably) not self-aware, but you can justify killing them for food. and babies are delicious.
