^^ Though I agree that parents should be given some sort of psych test it would never work because parents would argue that what makes a good parent is different in everyone eyes...
Another reason I think abortion should be legal is because some teen moms dont want to give their children to other people when in a few years they would be able to raise them themselves, so instead of giving them up for adoption, they keep them only to do a bad parenting job... Ive actually seen this happen twice. Some people do not like the idea that their child is out there and they cant see them.

I think all of this can be resolved by the simple answering of one question: Why is killing someone wrong?

I am sure he is, which seems more wrong, to just kill someone, or to put them out of their misery. The first is wrong because you are taking away a life from someone, a chance at happiness, sadness, whatever emotion or experience that they have yet to experience you have taken away from them they will no longer be able to live the rest of their lives. On the latter you are seen as playing the role of god, who are you to decide whether or not the one being killed will not have a future that makes up for their misery that they will definately have? The main debate between pro and anti choice advocates is what time frame is it possible to abort the baby? At what point in time does the embryo become an actual life? And then that point in time is what should be considered murder.

He was just trying to relate the two actions together to make us see the big picture, at least that is what I think he was trying to do with the severity seeming nature of his post.

Indeed might as well get started on that then... it is hard to say whether it is right or not to kill an unborn child. Essentially what we are doing is taking away another thread in the tapestry of life and preventing that thread from reaching its true potential. I do not really want to say whether it is right to keep the life from being miserable or not anymore because the more and more we go into this debate the more I think that we do not know whether or not this child will live happily and fully or not.
