I agree with you. IMO, there should not be abortions except in rare cases where the child is so deformed as to not have brain function. HOWEVER, I do not insist that others agree with me: If those who want abortion on demand want to kill off their children, who am I to stop them: The overall result will be to remove them from the human gene pool.

There is a real problem with society providing pressure to have abortions in place of taking responsibility. BUT unless one is willing to adopt those who are unwanted by their parents, ( and I have encountered some who are willing, and have acted accordingly) can one demand that someone else bear a child that they cannot take care of, yet are required by society to provide for?

Again, I DO NOT have the answers- but I note BOTH sides seem to avoid looking at the questions.
