It isn't just something you do to yourself, but rather, you are taking away the right of someone else. In this case, you are taking away the unborn human's right to life. I do believe their right to life should be protected under the law. Unless in cases where the mother would die, then it becomes a medical issue up for the family and the doctors to deal with.
I have some questions for you on this point then. Please take all the time you need to marinate on the value of the human life that is capable of thought.
Where do you stand on the issue of pregnancy resulting in a rape? Sexual intercourse in this case is NOT wanted. It is a violation of another's personal space. Not to mention, it's illegal.
Where do you stand on a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body?
How comfortable would you be with having your government tell you what you can and cannot do with your private parts?
What if it was a 13 year old female who got impregnated by a relative via sexual abuse?
What if you were on birth control and it failed? Would you still demand that the woman have the baby? A baby that wasn't planned or that she couldn't financially afford to care for, hence the reason for the birth control.
Take into consideration that these are not made up scenarios. They are things that have actually happened before. No doubt they will continue to happen.
