The reason is even in the term you used. That's what is known as "self-explanatory." Or as stated by the LIbertarian Party platform, "Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration."
Yeah, I think I'm pretty much in line with the party.
I used to be closer to Pro-Life, but re-evaluated my position by stepping back and looking at the bigger picture.
I still abhor the idea of a life taken, but I'm willing to accept it in a mathematical sense.
We are overpopulating the planet and resources will eventually run out.
Abortion (and homosexuality, to some extent) contribute to the longevity of the human race on this planet.
That is a purely mathematical thought, devoid of emotion.
I will concede that the possibility exists that an aborted child could have grown to become a scientist that saves the human race from an extinction level virus or something, but one can only make assumptions.
So, that's how I convince myself it's somewhat ok.
I still feel dirty, but I can accept it.
