It's attached to a woman. For all intents and purposes, that fetus is part of the woman. Would a moment of suffering be cause enough to contribute to our planets over-population? How about the lifetime of living through a foster system, or coming to terms with being unwanted by your mother?
The world isn't a nice place. Animals suffer every day. Yes, even cute little baby animals. Nature can be torture. Terminating a fetus is not torture, it's a medical procedure. The 'suffering' of a yet-to-be developed human shouldn't be as big of a talking point as it is.
Well I certainly see your point.. I gave my view based on what I thought was moral but to be honest I really don't know much about this subject...futhermore I'm not a woman...I don't claim to be any more right than you...so good point, and I would be interested in learning more about this moral issue...so I'll ( or we'll) keep learning. I don't claim to be right...this is how I ( or we) learn.
This is a very difficult decision to make in my opinion... however, I do THINK it PROBABLY shouldn't be a decision that is to be made in any extreme either way...
