Kudos to you for acknowledging the truth of the act. Not a lot who will. I tend to support abortion rights because it is in the best interest of society that people who are that irresponsible do not reproduce. Procreation by such individuals is nothing more than propagation of misery.
That aside, the basis of your support is interesting. If it is acceptable to kill babies to avoid hardship, is it not also acceptable to kill your parents if they become demented and unable to care for themselves? You would be averting hardship in both cases. Or does the reasoning only apply to offspring? What if your child was hit by a motorist and paralyzed for the rest of their life? Would it not be acceptable then to kill them to avoid the hardship?
Life is full of hardship. Those who do not learn to overcome it, inherently spread it.

its tough I know, which is why a lot of good people probubly struggle with the decision.
I suggest not thinking of it as a precident setting issue. Think of an issue in and of its self.
By supporting the choice to end a pregnacy you may not also support the killing of your parrents hehe.
I mean, if we are goign to think of stretch edge cases, every time you masterbate, are you commiting murder?
Everytime you blow it on a first date, since you might have had kids with them one day, is that murder?
You see how many rediculous place you can take that type of thinking?
As for if your kid is hit by a car and is in a vegitative state, I do think its ok to pull the plug.
Does that mean that if your kid gets a cold, may as well start over?
no.
So yea...
Finally Sidelle, you make baseless accusations about how I hate america and support shaira law, and you try to lecture me on making assumptions about people?
Ive been incredibly clear where I stand on issues, and yet you still can't figure out who I am and try to say I am X or Y... I like that you take such great offence to being treated exactly how you treat others.
