Abortion is morally wrong

[Ravenshire]

I like to eat sushi at a tiny little family owned restaurant that isn't very clean and has no AC. I know the risks are high for food poisoning, but I choose to take the risk because their sushi is so amazingly delicious. If I get food poisoning, is it immoral for me to take antibiotics?

Best analogy ever! If it's immoral to remove (regardless of method) one unwelcome life form than it must also be immoral to remove (regardless of method) millions.

Choosing to abort is not an abdication of responsibility. A woman finds herself pregnant and she must choose. Does she keep a child she can't support, possibly impoverishing herself and this child and all the problems that come to a child with such a background? Does she give her child up to a foster system which might never find a home for this child, thereby condemning this child to a life of lessened opportunity? Does she place that child with an adoptive family whose morals and values she can't be sure of? Or does she terminate during the first trimester, when the cluster of cells has no the least semblance to humanity, can't suffer, and is most likely to miscarry anyway?

More than that the idea still puts the life of the woman as less than the zygote. I find this odd, and I can't understand it. Why is the life and well being of the woman less important than the cluster of cells?

It can even be argued that abortion is a more responsible choice than having to carry a child to term and offering it up for adoption, dropping it at the local police station or, sadly true in some cases, the nearest dumpster.

Abortion prevents far more suffering than it can ever cause and that is the root of whether it's immoral or not. An aborted fetus did not, does not and will not suffer. People saddled with unwanted pregnancies (including the kid) can and in many, if not most, cases, will.
