Ok, very interesting points and a pretty logical argument. ( I consider myself pro-choice.)

I have two questions for you:
1) I realize that the majority of abortions aren't from violent rapes, but let's say a woman gets an intruder in her house, and he rapes her. That kid is spawned out of an act of hatred, first of all, which sucks for the kid. He's going to grow up either a) raised without his biological father or b) adopted, but either way with NO KNOWLEDGE of his paternal health history. How is that ok? A lot of times there are medical things you need to know about in your background that that kid has no way of knowing.

2) You said abortions happen for selfish reasons, which I would probably agree with. What if a woman is told that she will almost certainly die if she carries the baby...you still think that's ok? I mean, ok yeah that is selfish, but if she dies during the pregnancy than the child probably will too. Or if she or the baby is guaranteed to die during delivery....I guess I just don't see how you could justify that as not a reason for an abortion.

(Hope you see this post as just curious questions, no flames )
