66%

I just found out today that 66% of abortions are sought by women that are already mothers. This is a strong indication to me that many of the women are making the best choices they can for the children they already have

I've stopped trying to be sympathetic

I think the real issue is this: when is a baby a baby? My wife is pregnant with our first child. At 12 weeks, we saw an ultrasound of our baby. It has arms, legs, a beating heart, and even fingernails (though you couldn't see the fingernails, I've read that they're there). It has brain waves, too. What else does it need to be considered life rather than just "potential life"?

And at 12 weeks, we could legally abort the baby that's in my wife's womb, and that thought disgusts me.

Though I am a religious person, I don't necessarily think that it's critical to discuss whether it's God's will for someone to have a child if they get pregnant because from my experience with making babies, it's a choice that you and your sex partner make. That's what sex is. It's the means to create babies, so every time you have sex, you could potentially make a baby. So if you don't want unwanted babies, don't choose to have sex.

Who cares whether or not it was God's will because it was definitely YOUR will to have sex. Yes, people CAN choose to overcome their sexual desires.

Now, what about the case of rape and incest. Well, that's why I believe in those cases it's appropriate for a woman to make that heavy decision on whether or not she wants to continue with the pregnancy. Why? Because she did not choose that path.

"It has arms, legs, a beating heart, and even fingernails (though you couldn't see the fingernails"

People who aren't alive also have fingernails, arms and legs.

Scientists can make a heart beat in a petrie dish.

I'd need to see more information on the brain waves, as without a fully function nervous system it seems unlikely to mean much.

"So if you don't want unwanted babies, don't choose to have sex."

How very archaic. Straight out of the dark ages.

1/4 of all fertized eggs get washed out in the monthly period. And that doesn't even address the embryos that are further developed that go with the period as well and unbeknownst to the mother. All those poor babies that will never get a chance at life! That's a lot of dead fully living babies.
