If someone does something stupid then they should have to deal with the consequences, so let's just kill someone who had no say in it. Like it or not people have to deal with their choices. If someone chooses to have sex without protection it was their choice to bring a LIFE into this world. You can't just kill someone just because they are a burden to them. Because that's what it is if you want to admit it or not. The fetus isn't taking anyone's liberties it's just living.
I always find this argument interesting. As if deciding to terminate a pregnancy is somehow avoiding consequences. Then we hear the same side talking of the emotional toll abortions can have. Not to mention the monetary costs, and of course the potential physical ones as well. But no, it's avoiding any consequences to have an abortion.
And yes, an unwanted pregnancy is a denial of liberties. Rationalize it however you want, doesn't change what it is.
And for the record, I find abortion morally reprehensible. I wish there was no need for it in this world and would love nothing more than to see it abolished. I feel aborting an unwanted pregnancy is a cop out and should never be done just for that reason. I just do not feel it is the place of our government to do so and there are many steps we should take to decrease the needs for abortions that would do better for our country and protect out citizenry more than banning abortion.
