You cannot go around killing everyone who inconveniences your life. Please tell me what you are thinking, I WANT to know, so I may understand your argument in a better way
You're saying that it's not okay to kill it. Let me ask you a question: why? Why is it not okay? Can you give me a reason that is not based on religion?

I look at it like this: I am very careful about birth control. I hope I never, ever get pregnant. I respect your opinion and understand that you and I have differing views, but what I don't understand is why you would be okay with forcing me into having a child I didn't want. Yes, I could give that child up for adoption, but the thing is, I don't think that I could deal with pregnancy. I would have a huge problem with being forced to continue a pregnancy I didn't want. I don't think that it is fair or right for anybody to make a law that would force women to continue pregnancies they didn't want. I completely understand that there are many people out there who believe that abortion is wrong, but why should anyone have the right to tell me what I can and can't do with my own body?

What if there was a way to remove a fetus/embryo from the body of a woman who didn't want it and implant it into another woman's body? Would you do it?
