Well, this isn't the first abortion thread this site has seen.

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=14835

Personally, I would rather read through the 9 pages of that thread than the 20+ of your one point of view link. Below is my response from that thread's page 5.

************************************************
I have to say pro both.

I will not allowing anyone within my family to have an abortion unless it was going to kill them. However, I am not God nor am I owner over anyone's body or soul except mine and my child's, until they are adults.

Since there are too many possible reason's of why someone may want/need an abortion I could not justify an outright ban. To do so would also have a proven affect of not stopping abortion. Only increasing the rate of which women die or get gravely sick seeking illegal and dangerous back alley abortions. So, you would lose 2 lives rather than 1. I would rather focus on teaching pre-teens and teens about sex, its dangers, repercussions, and alternatives. This includes descriptively showing what happens to a fetus during an abortions, various STD's, and so on. Education is the key to any social problem.

However, the reason I say I would not allow anyone within my family to do so, is because if it came down to it I would adopt the child, as any family should do for their own. The purpose of a family is to care and support one another, so if anyone in your family should become unexpectedly pregnant, they should receive the assistance of all of the rest of the family. Now, they should also be forced on birth control and forced to put the child first.

Now, the problem is too many people will not help anyone else, let alone their own family. That is the crippling factor of our "modern" society. Too much separation and not enough family unity.

For those of you who say a person is not alive until they are physically born. That is just ignorant. A doctor can get a fetus to react to stimulus in as little as a few weeks after conception. That alone proves the fetus is alive. It is breathing in the liquids around it, eating, excrementing, reacting, and thinking. All signs of life.
