I'm morally against abortion. That said, I'm not sure that it should be illegal until there is some way of supporting all pregnant women financially or perhaps implanting an unwanted fetus into an artifical womb. I don't know. Regardless, I just wanted to touch on something that I didn't see a lot of.
This is my persepective:
1. If you have sex, there is a chance of getting pregnant. Even protected sex has a chance.
2. At LEAST 95% of adults know that penis + vagina = baby (I'm think being conservative with the number here)
Therefore: both MEN and WOMEN should keep it in their pants if they don't want to accept the risk of a baby.
I think a lot of people tell men they should take responsibility ahead of time, but very little focus on the woman's responsibility. Yes, she will have a greater burden if pregnancy occurs, but that only means she holds a greater portion of the responsibility to say NO if baby will be bad for her at this time.
I feel like there are too many women using abortion as retroactive birth control. Too many who continue the same behaviors that led to their first pregnancy and ending up with second and third pregnancies terminated. This said, I don't know how I would react if I found out tomorrow I was pregnant. Hence my statement in the first paragraph, we can't get rid of it until we can support every mother.
Also, to the response: easy for a man to say to the idea of adoption, i'm not sure in what sense this was meant.
If it was the fact that many women can't bear to give up their baby once it's born, I would think that it would be a better option than NOT allowing it to be born.
If it's the fact that a woman still has to deliver the child, that may be the sacrifice she makes to let her child have a chance at life, even with someone else.
