And you're sure you actually have someone else who can take care of the child, and won't fuck it up so bad they'll probably wonder if they wished their birth mother actually had that abortion? Or that you yourself can do so?
and still would not address the issue of bodily autonomy .

When the vast majority of abortions take place, the fetus in question has yet to develop ANY mental acuities (about 20 weeks in). I'm not saying they're poorly developed, I'm saying they haven't developed at all. They do usually develop some brain activity around the 20 week mark, but to make the claim that it doesn't make a difference if they haven't if they potentially can, I would like to point out that the exact same potential exists within my sperm. And multiple times a day, 250 million of these potential lives (four times more than died during World War 2) live, die, and spill out over the skin around my navel.
People always fail to make the distinction . Were no talking about some born who has a disability. Were talking about some who has yet to acquire an ability .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
