Personally I think that we should err on the side of not killing a human being (so I tend to be conservative). However the sites I'm looking at, are saying that you aren't even really considered pregnant, until late in the second week, to the third week after conception. Here, I'm not so sure.
How about you?
I think it's pretty clear where I stand. I'm pro-choice, and leave all the decision-making regarding where to draw the line between legal and illegal abortion to the lawmakers and women, since it's none of my business and I am neutral about fetuses.
But back to you, are you for a complete ban on abortion after three weeks after conception? Do you think extreme cases should be considered, such as in case of rape or high risk to woman's health/wellbeing? Do you believe abortion banning will make things better for society overall?
These are not meant to be loaded questions, so answer with as many details and clarifications as you like. I want to know you've thought well enough about the implications and considered women's plight in your ponderings on abortion.
I think that such unjustified killing is always wrong, even in difficult circumstances such as a rape. Similarly, if they had the baby, but then after a year or two the decided that it was too much emotion stress would you let them dispose of it then?
In the unlikely situations, where they must save the woman or lose them both, then yes, it is difficult, but I think that the choice is to save who you can. But that is an entirely different scenario, than killing someone for some of the horrible reasons that people have abortions.
