Since this point was brought up...okay, I'll bite.
My mom thought about aborting me. She was 40 when she found out she was pregnant with me. Back then, it was unheard of for a woman over 40 to give birth. She was told there was a greater chance I wouldn't be healthy, would be born w/ birth defects, etc. She chose to have me.
Growing up, my mother and I had a terrible relationship. We had terrible fights. I truly hated her. She once told me in the heat of an argument that she wished she had aborted me. It didn't bother me in the least; I know my mom is a deeply religious and conservative woman, and it was just something she had thrown back to in order to try to push my buttons.
Abortion seems to have become a buzz word people throw around to try to rile emotions.
I think that each and every one of us is lucky to be here. Think about it -- people try to have babies all the time and can't. Having sex doesn't guarantee pregnancy. Every time a mother conceives it's by luck, wouldn't you say?
