And I'll say it again, in my personal experience, it is VERY EASY to get pregnant, even if you use birth control very religiously.
And, I'll even say this again, birth control is NOT 100%.
So, fine, go ahead and dismiss my personal experience in life, it doesn't make what I said any less valid.

From my own families experiences, an abortion is what the biological mother should have done .... my adoptive brother is a mistake from the beginning.
He's never worked a day in his life, he has a serious drug abuse problem, as his biological father had.
The genetics overrides the social environment in his case and an abortion would have been the best solution. (he was born in 1965)

Well, if I am understanding you correctly, you seem to be pointing to the more mystical or sacred aspects of the origins of life and the true nature of consciousness.
So what you seem to be saying is that you believe all pregnancies happen for a reason, and that they should not be interfered with because you think it is the will of some higher power that they come into being. Is that correct?

As for abortion, if it is before the brain has formed I'm fine with that.

Infant? Wait...I am confused. Is this thread about abortion or infantacide? Killing the offspring after birth would be killing an "infant".
The vast majority of abortions destroy embryos (The term, embryo, is used to describe the early stages of fetal growth, from conception to the eighth week of pregnancy).

We also did it with the African Americans we kidnapped and brought here calling them many names but rarely did we call them Madam or Sir.

Really? Please explain. Are you saying you have seen abortions and you found them horrifying? There is no doubt a late term abortion is an ugly business.
However the vast majority of abortions are NOT late term. Do you know why most doctors do not want to perform abortions before 6 weeks? Because the embryo is so small they can't be sure if the procedure works. It is a tiny glump of cells that could be missed.
So please if you are implying that "abortion is traumatic to witness" please explain how many you have seen and how a tiny glump of tissue being removed is traumatizing for the staff or patient?
