Oh boy. Abortion. What a touchy subject. I can't take a serious stance on myself, as I'm torn between what I think is morally right, and what my religion tells me to be right.
Krillin and 18 both hold good points. However, both lack concrete proof for both of their claims. No one will ever be able to know when, if you believe in this, the child in the womb becomes "human" or has a soul. Both of you can argue all day long for your sides, and while I'd like to be able to take a stand on one of them, you wouldn't be able to convince me. If you try to say that it's not a living thing immediately upon conception, well, then you're wrong. It IS alive, and it is growing. However, if you try to tell me that it is instantly human at that state, I'm going to say you're wrong too. It isn't human at that point, not because it doesn't "look" human, but because it has yet to develop to a point that if it were to be born that exact moment, it would be able to survive.
Nevertheless, I'm against abortion. I don't listen to some of the extremist stuff they're tying in with it, but I don't think you should do it. That baby doesn't deserve to have no chance at life. However, I also think it should have a happy life, and not one where they live in constant struggle.
Crap, I've made myself even more indecisive on this issue. I guess the only thing I AM certain about is that you should always use a condom or some other form of contraceptive if you don't want a child. If you don't do this, then it's kinda your fault for this, don't take away the life of what can eventually become a baby.
