There are many faiths and philosophies in the world. The only thing that makes them right is the person or people who believe in them. I, personally believe that there IS JUSTIFICATION for an abortion whether its due to bad circumstances or a married couple who can not afford to properly support a second child. I believe in the right to life of a child but, I also believe in the right of a young girl, a young woman, an older woman, an unwed teen, or a widowed middle-aged woman to live her life. I refuse to believe that I or anyone should be made to make life harder on themselves. And although a mother should unconditionally and completely love their children...I'm sure we all know women who don't or at least act like they don't. No child deserves that. And some people are better off NOT having children. I don't even think all people DESERVE children. They take enormous amounts of time, energy, respect and love - which is something unfortunately not all people are willing to give. So once again I say...there IS TRULY JUSTIFICATION for an abortion. It shouldn't be a means for birth control (overuse) but it is sometimes rightly necessary. And, (excuse me if I offend) those who don't beleive so seem QUITE a bit unrealistic.

Indeed children are not a right, they are a privilage. But in the same token children are not just property that when you are unable to (or simply don't want to) take care of them that you just throw them away (or in this case kill them... That is indeed UNREALISTIC.
If the married couple couldn't afford another child, DONT HAVE SEX until you are ready to assume responsibility for this child.

A young woman, older woman, or especially a teenager should not be having premarital sex... biblically this is SIN. If you hypothetically decided to do this, you are in fact AT FAULT, not the CHILD. Why should the child die for YOUR mistake. YOU should be responsible for your choices, NOT THE BABY. Keep your legs closed and these things wont happen. I am aware that people are not perfect and are going to slip up, but should the child be responsible for weakness? Of course not. If you hit a pregnant woman and cause her to miscarry, doesn't that person have to pay for their crime? Abortion is no different except that you are WILLINGLY killing your baby. Nobody made those women's lives harder, they brought this upon themselves with SIN (except the married couple. They will just have to brave the storm.) As with a case with rape, see my previous post.
