For those who say that abortion is wrong or right, my only question is, then why in the first place get oneself into such a situation? WHY?
Why opt for the reproductive cycle if one has not the intention to follow through it.

So to you, murder and child abuse are wrong. But abortion is ok?
Is there a way to end these immoral behaviors or should we just let them be so.
And how do you think that will end for us if the corruption and cheating is left unchecked?

Haven't you EVER found yourself in a situation in life that you didn't intend to be in?
Ever say something you later regretted and had to go 'make it right'?
Reproduction is just ONE of the reasons to have sex. For MANY reproduction is an unintended consequence.

So to you, murder and child abuse are wrong. But abortion is ok? Apparently we disagree on what point in the process life begins. It really isn't that hard to figure out. From the moment of conception the cells start to multiply and if left unhampered they will result in a baby. But that is neither here nor there, thank you for answering the original question, which was what this whole thread was about anyway. Stealing, lying, cheating, corruption. Ok so, how do you think these things should be dealt with? Is there a way to end these immoral behaviors or should we just let them be so. To each his own? And how do you think that will end for us if the corruption and cheating is left unchecked?

Yup, they are different.
Problem is we live in system where morality is part of the governing structure; or the societal structure that we are "expected" to follow. Double think is the biggest problem we have today.
You can't combine morality and governance into a system for many people, it just won't work. Too many people have different ideas of what those two things mean, and how they should apply in a self sustained, self governed society.
Therefore, do away with morality all together in law and societal "acceptance" and focus on personal freedoms. The rest will follow suit.

I do make mistakes, many of them, but ONE mistake that i will try my darnest is NEVER to put my finger beneath a burning flame. It is utter idiocy. As a child, I remember my mom telling me not to do it, but i was curious, didn't believe it and thus I did it and scream so hard I almost brought the whole house down.
It is a fact of life when you perform the reproductive act, the chances are high that you will get pregnant.
WHY do it if one has no intention of completing the reproductive cycle?
Consensual sex or promiscuity, these are moral issues that a society have to decide on for it begins with the family nucleas.

Yeah I agree, except the "higher" authority should be that of our rights as they were given to us, pure and simple.
I'm not willing to go to the religious/spiritual model unless that model is based on the sanctity of human life and the freedoms that being a member of the race of man provides.
