Abortion NEEDS to stay legal. Now that Barack's in office, I know it will. At least for another four years. I read that there are about two million abortions in the U.S. yearly. Most are by the same women each year, because they are stupid enough to get pregnant over and over, but smart enough to know that they would be terrible Mothers. This is because they are drug-addicts, sex-addicts, mentally ill, very young, or any combination of the aforementioned conditions. Also, many couples choose to terminate fetuses that are discovered to have severe disabilities while still very early in the pregnancy. In my opinion, this saves the potential child from a lifetime of misery. Additionally, many women have one because the pregnancy or birth would be very risky for their own physical health. It is not a pretty thing. In fact it's downright disgusting. It keeps population lower though. Plus, a lot of these women would be adding to the welfare rolls if they kept the fetus. I stand FIRM in my beliefs. Violent crime went down SIGNIFICANTLY with the advent of Roe v. Wade (I know correlation does not equal causation, but nice coincidence). This sounds crass, but if your situation is demanding an abortion, then you might as well think of your fetus as a parasite rather than a potential human. The only time I think it is wrong to have an abortion is if the fetus is so far along that it could LIVE outside of the body and develop NORMALLY. For those mistakes, we have adoption. I am an agnostic, so many of you will be cursing me to Hell, but I'll come right back at you.
