Abortion is very bad as my fellow Sophie has said.  Unwanted pregnancy
is also bad.
Whenever people have sex they stand a chance of producing a pregnancy.
Unwanted pregnancy is not thrust upon a woman.  It is a consequence
of the actions of her and a man.  If pregnancy were beyond the control
of the wills of individuals, we may have a different situation.
On the other hand, the fetus has had no say in its life.  Since the
nervous system is functioning before the end of the 2nd month - when
most abortions are performed - OBG physicians have concluded that the
fetus feels the abortion.  The fetus is given no anestesia.  It is
methodically ripped limb from limb, cut and sucked until nothing except
perhaps its head remains in the womb.  Then a forceps might be necessay
to crush and remove the head.
Is this the noble cause pro-choicers advocate?  No.  Is this the effect
of the their pro-choice attitude?  Yes; but all in the name of
humanity and freedom.
