Abortion Comment

Comment responding to Dalwinder Lidhar's blog on abortion http://dally-lidhar.blogspot.com/

I totally disagree with you when you say abortion is murder, "why have sex if you cannot deal with the responsibility that comes with it?", what if someone was raped or the pregnancy is a result of incest or child abuse? Are they really going to want to give birth to a child that is the outcome of such horrific acts? "Just think if your parents aborted you?" Well for one thing you wouldn't know about it...! I am obviously for abortion, I think if someone does accidentally get pregnant from not taking the proper precautions when having sex like using condoms then it is up to them if they want to keep it or not, they might have financial problems at the time or just be too young and irresponsible, some women don't get a choice in having an abortion because some times there can be problems with the baby such as it being severely disabled and not even have much of a life when it is born, or giving birth would put the mothers life at risk, the mother could also be a drug addict and it's not fair to bring a child into that sort of environment, not only could it have a bad upbringing but when it is born it could be addicted to whatever substance the mother has been using and will need to be weened off it at birth. I don't think you can say abortion is murder because abortions are legal up to 24 weeks, at this time the foetus is just a collection of cells and wouldn't be able to survive outside the womb. I think a women has a right to decide her own future and do what is best for her, she has a right to do what she wants with her body.
