Thank you Usara, I was going to post pretty much that same thing in response to the ridiculous posts since my last...but you seem to have it pretty much covered. No one has any right whatsoever to decide that an unborn baby will never get the chance to live, just because they think the baby will lead a bad life or will cause them to lead a bad life.

don't get me wrong-when having the baby may put the mother's life in danger, that could be an exception. other than that, however, we really have no right to say this fetus cannot become a child because i didn't want to get pregnant, or i don't want to raise a child, or this child's life will be bad. that's just not our decision to make, or the mother's.

Freedom? Are you kidding me? Your idea of freedom is having the right to end another's life? I don't think so. It's our freedom that should protect us from such atrocities. You may argue that scientifically, a fetus in the first trimester is not alive yet, but at the bottom line if you leave that baby alone it will become a person just like you and me, and there's no way you can justify stopping that from happening. And then you say it's not fair to the baby to let it live, because it might have a low quality of life. Wow. I had to take a step back when i read that one. Think about that as if it were you who were the baby. Would you prefer no life, or a "low quality" life, where at least you have a chance to obtain whatever you deem to be a "high quality" life? Any life at all is better than being dead. I cant believe you would even use that as a justification for abortion. Are you saying we should go shoot all the homeless people in the streets and all the orphans living in orphanages because their lives are "low quality"? It's a ridiculous, heartless statement to make. How can you decide to end a child's life before he or she ever has a chance to become someone?
