Wow! I'm speechless. So you don't believe that a lot of children in this world are accidents or unplanned? On top of that, some people don't have the money for an abortion.
Personally, I don't think it's selfish at all. It's our duty to create offspring. Once you get down to it all, thats why we're here. We're supposed to make more of our species. And in a religious sense, we're created to create and want children. Thats why people end up having a longing for children. Whether you're 20 or 40, eventually you'll want children.
