Wow, you people are actually spot on. A lot of people make the arguments that abortion destroys potentially valuable human life (although its all valuable), and that it is used as birth control in place of personal responsibility. Another thing I think it does is to limit the potential of would-be parents. In previous generations, unexpected pregnancies were common, but many of them simply stepped up to the plate and did what they had to. Drunk/immature fathers got steady jobs and got married. Women transitioned from irresponsible teenagers to loving and influential mothers. Granted, I don't blame this change simply on abortion, but the idea that a pregnancy is disposable surely doesn't help. I get angry when I see the generations before us referred to as rudimentary, I can only hope to grow up with the moral strength and wisdom that my father and grandfather had. Sure, we have advantages they don't have, but sometimes I think they obtained attributes our society will never have.
