Paragraph one: "I'm definitely happy my parents went through with having me." If your parents hadn't had you, you wouldn't have known - you wouldn't have existed. You cannot state the corollary that you are sad your parent's didn't have you, because you would not know!

Paragraph 2: People are trying to find solutions. Unfortunately, this government frowns on anything but abstinence only sex ed. Look where that got us: Pregnant children.
You know I'm somewhere in the middle on the whole abortion issue, but I just wanted to argue with your logic

1) Not existing is akin to suicide if you're trying to find something similar. I can say I prefer to exist over suicide. We all try and find an anchor or foundation to base our thoughts off of - are you really happy if you don't know what suffering is? Now for the issue of not knowing something and still not wanting it, well I suppose many folks don't want to smoke crack even though they haven't done it before.

2) I thought pregnancy rates had gone down in the last couple decades. I'm not sure though.
