And this is bracketing out the fact that you are yet to provide ANY evidence in the way of your claim that 'most abortions' are for a matter of 'convenience'. You even presumed the financial stability of these 'most' mothers in that statement, so I'd also like some evidence on that claim too, please.
Or you could retract a statement you know you made without any substianal evidence to back up, on a subject you know nothing about in a field that you have never studied. I know you desperately want to shoe horn the reality of the situation into the small box of your beliefs,mbut it isn't going to fly.
I won't retract my statement because I think that if you abort a baby because he would get in the way of your education or career, be financially stressful, your regular birth control method failed, or you just don't want to have a child, then it is for your convenience. My wife and I could have waited until we were older and more established in our careers, had more money, etc., but we made our sacrifices for the kids and it's all turned out very well. I don't condemn the women making these choices, as I have also made many selfish choices myself, but I still think that is the truth of the matter. I'm sure it's an agonizing choice, but if it is so agonizing why not choose for the life of the child? I can't dictate to a woman what choice to make regarding having an abortion, but what I can do is try to influence her to do the right thing.
