Thanks for misinterpreting what I said. It's so easy to do when you disagree with someone, but it also makes you a jerk. So don't do it. I was just pointing out the obvious, which is that millions if not billions of kids will never see their potential for reasons other than being aborted. Hitler's mother considered having an abortion, but she decided against it. Don't you think the world would have been a good bit deal better off if Hitler never saw his potential? A potential child could be a life-saving doctor or a tyrannical dictator. I don't think "he or she could have been" is a very good argument for abortion at all.

By the way, no one's going to slow down their kid production. A young work force is necessary for a strong and healthy economy, and no nation is going to sacrifice their might for the good of humanity.

Calm down there Montana. No need to be hostile or to start name calling.
What happened to the days where VGC prided itself for being civil?
"You misinterpreted what I said, what I was trying to convey was..."

And I'm not using the "He she could have been" argument, I'm saying once the kid has reached conception(situational) give that kid a shot. (My beliefs lies closer to Vagabound's) instead of snuffing him out because I don't want to bear the responsibility or because we have enough kids in the world.
Color me naive but I would rather shoot straight to the root which is conception itself rather than go for an often selfish remedy which is abortion.

Trust me, this planet has plenty of kids already. What about the kid that's starving in a third world country, do you think he could have been the great artist of the century?

Sounds like they don't know where to go. They think they're getting over populated and can't feed everyone, but then they don't want to diminish their work force.
Aborting kids is already "Sacrificing" their might:

I'm not saying ignorance was a proper excuse for getting pregnant and aborting a child.  I was saying that ignorance is not a good enough reason to punish her with a child to raise.

Sure it's not a good enough reason to punish her with raising a kid, a lot of things happen to people who don't deserve it. 
Let's say for example my parents told me not to play with the electric socket, as a curious kid I disobeyed them and electricuted myself and became paralized. Was it my fault? Yes. Did I deserve to be paralyzed for the rest of my life? No. Take that person in my other analogy, he didn't deserve to get HIV either. It happened, and there is no "reset" button. In the case of abortion, there is, but at a cost. You could either take responsibility to what you have done, or past it on to someone else.

Also, don't look too far into my analogies because pregnancy is not some life taking, life altering disease, and no one else suffers for you when you take medication or do therapies.
