Further to tigwig's post which is very interesting, and again I'd like to remind you that I have not clarified my views on abortion.
How many of us would consider it acceptable to 'terminate' a 2 year old, 5 year old or 10 year old, because 'we' deemed that child to have a poor quality of life or felt that the stresses placed on the parents/family were too great.
Yet many of us seem able to openly to explain why we feel that a 'termination' PRIOR to birth is justifiable, is there really any difference?
Afterall everyone commenting on here was a gamete/zygote/fetus/baby once.
Everyone on here COULD HAVE been 'terminated' for any number of reasons some of which several of you have justified and yet you are here today alive.
