I'm strictly anit-abortion. Until the law changes though, I'll have to settle for living in a society that deems it appropriate.
When a person gets an abortion, performs an abortion, or endorses an abortion, the ultimate responsibility will lie with them. Then again, I believe in a soul. So there ya go.

Then you must also realize that a soul never dies, and the body is simply a shell. And the soul will do what the soul wants to do (if you believe in a soul) so it will find another way of experiencing this existence.
Just a thought.

True. But are humans worthy of determining the souls path? Is society?

As does my fiancee over her sister who has VFCS and is another reason we both didn't care what the tests said. We just knew that we were going to get some nice ultra sound pics of him.

Yes I went in for the ultrasound (amazing wonderful experience!!) but chose not to do the amnio. Besides needles...especially that sort of invasive needle gives me the chills.

Are Humans worthy? by the very act of a parent teaching a child what "they" think is right is molding their soul.
Is society? Worthy? NO! but society by it's very definition does determine the path ones soul takes because in order to be a member of society You (and Your soul) are forced to take the path that society deems is correct or else be evicted from said society (imprisoned/put to death)

And im sure youd happily trade lives with that babie that just suffocated alive trying to take its first breath because of a genetic deformity of a lung.
It nice to think up wild and rediculous ways in which darth vader could make everyone be born with a shorter right leg, but in the end stuff like this gives a human conciousness that grows up in our society a functional and healthy body. Go make yourself retarded and see how much better that is than your normal brain where you could feed and clothe yourself.

IMHO...however...as conscious and sentient beings we should attempt to bring about compassion for all living things.
I'd say most humans are able to intelligenly assess whether they have the means to bring a child to the world or not...So far...I see most people do not even think about it. They act on impulse and breed recklessly...
