- kids are a financial drain. And money isn't enough. They need love, attention, etc.
- I pay enough in taxes as it is to support children that are wards of the state or waiting to be adopted. If there were no more abortions i think taxes would skyrocket
- any unborn child is a parasite. I know there are people out there that see a mother and unborn child relationship as a symbiotic one and I swear they're stupid. Assuming you carry a child to term, you are not supposed to smoke tobacco products, drink alcoholic beverages, ride rollercoasters, and a ton of other things. Also a foreign biological entity can be 'happy and healthy.' Not that I'm saying all pregnant women should pretend their unborn children are tapeworms. But the ones that do are doing the smart thing.
- if I knew prior to giving birth that the child would not live long after birth or would be born with an incurable fatal disease I know that I would get an abortion. I'm talking diseases like Trisomy 18 (or Cyclops Baby Syndrome) or Tay Sachs (although that's next to impossible given my ethnicity). . .
However, I do think that under some circumstances women should not be allowed to get an abortion or that legal action shuold be taken to keep a woman from getting an abortion.
