What is your alternative to abortion?

[Mr_Dew7]

Okay. But why is it okay to kill something human.

I honestly see no reason why abortion should not be legal. Yes, it is killing a human life, but I see no problem with that.

I thought I would post this argument from something I was just skimming:

The crux of my argument in favor of abortion is that killing is basically okay. Human beings kill everything. We kill cows because they taste good, trees because we like furniture, germs because they make us feel bad, deer because we love hunting, cockroaches because they are disgusting, and thousands of other species because we just hate those rain forests so much… Pretty much every species on Earth has been killed by humans at some point for some reason.

“Wait a minute,” I hear you cry. “That may all be true but we draw the line at killing other humans!” No, we don’t. We kill old people (euthanasia, and insurance companies will even pay for it), we kill criminals (capital punishment), we kill ourselves (suicide), we kill each other (war), we kill in self-defense, we kill when we are temporarily insane, and we pull the plug on people who are in comas. I haven’t even started listing all the indirect ways we kill people: drug companies pushing dangerous drugs, insurance companies not paying for lifesaving procedures, people starving in Africa because our fat asses can’t be bothered to share some food, athletes playing dangerous sports, smoking, alcohol, and McDonald’s.

99.99% of the time it’s perfectly okay and legal to kill any living thing you want. The only exception is that you can’t kill another human being for no apparent reason. That’s murder. That’s where the line is drawn.

The crux of my argument then is this: killing is not okay, unless it is for food, or for the defense of other life. That is what I believe. If I'm hungry, I don't mind killing a cow and having some burgers. If someone attacks me or another and I see it, I will put a bullet into the situation to save a life, mine or otherwise. I do not believe in unncessesary killing. Ever. If you choose to put your life on the line in war, or in law enforcement, or when you go hunting with your friends, then that is your issue to deal with. But I do not believe that it is okay to kill those who have no choice in the matter.
