Would you agree that life - in part - is about the choices you make?
Someone was appalled in a comment made above about how you were comparing a pregnancy to a tumor.
I'm sure they lack the capacity to comprehend that a cancerous tumor demonstrates very clear signs of life, so why do they feel justified killing that lifeform with radiation treatment when they dont a pregnancy?
It's hypocritical, at best, but let me speak from experience:
I've had two three wives and three abortions between two of them.
Why? There's a number of reasons I agreed to the abortion they weren't aware of - they didn't know I was shooting blanks and couldn't get a woman pregnant, I withheld that truth from them, so the potential they had an affair was pretty high and I just didn't want to jeopardize the marriages so i said "I'm not ready for kids"
I was adopted myself, quite likely a product of an affair.
So now, at 45, I'm single and alone and homeless.
So even IF I'd had someone else's kid and raised them as my own, chances are, right now I'd not be alone. There's a decent chance the marriage might have held together. There's a decent chance the that my kids would have been intelligent, like I am my wives are, but more societally functional, which I am most certainly not.
Abortion, to me isn't a moral issue any longer like it once was. It's a philosophical issue.
Life, to me, is ubiquitous and weird, something that's become profoundly absurd at times as a homeless man.
To me - me and my wives didn't "take the life" of an unborn child with the abortions, we merely made the conscious choice to shift that unborn child it into an alternate reality where it would be wanted and needed.
To me - at the time - I regarded the unborn child as a cancer because of the belief that my wives were cheating on me. Since then I have come to wake up to reality and to understand how thought is the device of conception and not the physical act of sex itself, and that their belief in the act of sex manifesting a child could have been enough to create the pregnancy itself.
How can you be against abortion?
To me. It was a choice. And a difficult one at that, and still is.
I do wonder. Do my own kids know me?
You see, I believe abortion doesn't terminate life.
It merely ends the growth in this 'world'.
Somewhere, in an alternate reality where it was wanted and desirable, that growth continued.
How can some people be against abortion?
Perhaps their myopic vision of growth and birth is limited to this physical realm?
I dont judge them for that belief.
My advice is not to yourself.
