I think what people need to remember is that it is a child right from conception when should it ever be ok to kill your child... at 8weeks when it has hands feet brain forming or 12weeks, 18 weeks 35 weeks? When is it suddenly not ok to kill your child? When it's born because honestly people that is a child you are forming inside you not a bunch of cells. they have done no research on the amount of babies that are aborted that have been told they have something wrong with them when they dont. Because i would love to know that figure. I know quite a few people that have been told this and have carried on with the pregnancy and the child has had nothing wrong with it at all. Abortion is wrong and it's extremely sad to watch people make it ok in their heads.Because realistically when you hold that baby in your arms you would not just then turn around and suck it up a vacuum cleaner, chop it up or inject it to kill it.So I dont think people really think about what abortion is, they are thinking about themselves.

I resent people enforcing their will, opinions and choices on me and I resent my options to make informed decisions regarding my own life & what I value as important being taken away. I would not dare to force someone else to comply with what I beleive regardless of what side of this argument I sit on. Why should some group, who dont know me or my situation get to decide for me? You live your life according what you value and I wont force you to live the way I think you should - deal?
