Abortion should be legal, and if you don't like it, why not simply NOT get an abortion. Same with gay marriage.I agree it is up to the mother. But I also think it should be guided by the morality of how much the fetus (or child) will suffer whether thats before or after it's born. A very developed fetus that has a nervous system and doesn't have any disfunctions that will make it suffer after birth, is much more alive, capable of suffering, and more conscious than an undevoped fetus or a sperm cell and if it doesn't have any disfunctions that lead to suffering that evidently means that it can't be aborted to stop the fetus suffering after it's born and becomes a baby.
That's my opinion anyway...It's hard to take into account so many variables. So I could certainly be wrong.
