The arguments concerning abortion have and always will divide. Most of those arguing on either side of the fence, have no first hand knowledge of what it really and truely involves.
Those arguing against it, most often fail to consider the costs, both financial and emotional involved, either in the act of abortion it self, or in deciding against it. They make broad condemnations regarding premarital sex, youth and not believing in the same imaginary man in the sky as they do. They discount the emotional and often heart wrenching experience of those considering it. They ignore the costs, again both financial and emotional in deciding to raise a child to term, and perhaps through it's first 2 decades of life. They will make assinine suggestions like "just give it up for adoption", again ignoring both the financial and emotional costs in that decision.
Those arguing for it, choose to ignore custom, faith, and family. They often will ignore the same financial, physical and emotional considerations as their opposition.
The simple fact is, more than half the people arguing are incapable of ever having one. A majority of those capable of having one, will never be in a position where it even becomes a consideration.
The only people the decision matters to, is the woman who is for what ever reason considering it, and that potential childs father.
There are many reasons why someone would consider ending a pregnancy. some are truthfully frivilious, but many others are not. Which is which, should be determined by those involved in that painful decision. Not some anonymous person with no real knowledge or understanding of the situation, and certainly not by some so called 'lawmaker' or religious zelot acting out of their own bias and ignorance.
I personally, don't believe in it, however, it is not my place to decide what is right for anyone else. If and when the decision involves me I would give my thoughts to her. In the end, it is however her decision, since unlike a seahorse, I as a male cannot carry a child. In any event, such things should be private, and not done in public.
