This is a good argument BUT it is not valid in the United States. Further, it's not much of an argument anywhere. There are children surviving lots of extremely unforgiving environments.
Find me someone who can say they'd rather have been aborted. If you can...please also hand them a gun or a big bottle of sleeping pills so we can let them stop themselves from wasteing air.
Abortion has it's place in the interest of health. Abortion should not be a means of birth control for the irresponsible. Abortion (whether or not) should not rest soley with the mother. Those are my own hard fast rules.
Abortion as an "easy out" because some woman (or man and woman for that matter) is afraid of ruining her career or similar circumstances. This is the excuse that really pisses me off. I suppose if it's considered a good excuse, it should be legal for me to kill my parents to get to my inheritance when "I" think I deserve it.
