Abortion

While it may have generated thought provoking discussion a few months ago, there is no longer anybody to debate with, especially at 1 AM. On the other hand it means I get to share it with you, my dearly beloved reader. :wub: That, and nobody can tell me that I’m wrong. ^_^

I have no fundamental problem with abortion as a whole, I believe that it is justified in certain cases and that ultimately it is the choice of the mother whether or not to continue the pregnancy. (I do believe however that 24 weeks, the current limit for abortions in the UK is leaving it too late.)

However, my one fear is abortion being used as a form of birth control. One alternative is adoption, which ultimately allows you the chance to change your mind, and if not then a couple who are unable to conceive for whatever reason still can benefit… I guess in a way adoption is favourable.

I consider myself tolerant of other beliefs, religious or otherwise (as long as they aren’t attempting to shove their opinion down my throat as the indisputable truth, and are likewise respectful of my position.) I mean, I can’t disprove the existence of a higher being anymore than they can prove it. I can understand why you could consider life to begin at the moment of conception, however (unfortunately ;) ) the situation isn’t always clear cut.

Personally, I don’t think that I could ever decide to do either, and I hope to never be in a situation where I have to do so.

Well, that’s all I’ve got for now… this post wasn’t as long as I originally planned. :ermm:
