I don’t think abortions should be used in cases of accidental pregnancy. My personal outlook is that if you are old enough to have sex then you are old enough to face the consequences of having it. In this day and age with the morning after pill and a waiting list for parents wanting to adopt there is no need to murder a baby. I know a nurse who told me that sometimes babies that are aborted late cry in the sluice for a few minutes before they die. To me thats just sick.
I myself was faced with the situation of being offered an abortion because when I had a 20 week scan it showed soft markers for a downs baby. I was given the choice… abort the baby or wait another 20 weeks and potentially have a special needs child. I took the risk an it paid off. I have a healthy daughter to show for it but even if she had not been she would still be a joy. Where there is life there is hope and it should be given a chance.
I think they should lower the limit to 12 weeks for simply unwanted babies. At least up until this date the baby is not fully developed. Babies aborted after this date should only be done so if there are reasons which threaten its well being as a human being.
Personally i think ignorance is bliss sometimes and its best to just see what nature delivers…
Note to all the ppl who use abortion as birth control…. a baby is the nicest thing you can get from unprotected sex!
and back to my original point…. if you can’t do the time (and its a life sentence) don’t do the crime!
This is my humble opinion.
