Do you support a woman's right to choose whether she keeps her newborn baby alive? If not, why not? What is the difference between a baby that is unborn (i.e. viable for abortion by your argument) and one that is born?
I would just say you and I lack standing in the matter. Neither of us has anything at stake, aside from our principles and feelings.
No I wouldn't go so far as to sanction infanticide but up until some reasonable point in the pregnancy I say the woman gets to choose in favor of her health and her preferences, no questions asked. Afterall somewhere out there the sperm donor's life goes on just as before even though he probably enjoyed the copulation every bit as much as the woman who is now pregnant. I won't say what a reasonable length of time should be but I'm going to come down on the side of leniency even in the case of a distraught teenage girl who tosses her new born child in a dumpster.
Now every life might be unique and special in its own right but my god this planet is over run with people. I'd say up until that reasonable point in the pregnancy, the more fetuses that get vacuumed out the better. They won't be missed and the rest of the life on this planet will be better off.
