Abortion

Let`s start an internet flamewar. Because I doubt there are any pro-life
people on this website, I ask you the following:

How can a woman want to eventually become pregnant and carry the fetus to
term yet when she gets pregnant now have an abortion and not see the
contradiction? How is one fetus deserving of life and the other not? It seems
to me a real feminist wouldn't want her body being "used" by a fetus ever and
wouldn't want to become pregnant.

If these pro-choice women want to become pregnant now they should get their
tubes tied AND use hormonal birth control, a barrier method w/ spermacide, and a condom everytime they have sex. If they ever want to become a parent they should adopt.

But fetuses don't just sneak into women's wombs.  They are created there by a decison on the part of two people (except in cases of rape).  Pregnancy doesn't just happen.  Like it or not, a woman is, in effect, allowing the fetus in by choosing to have sex.  (Again, rape is a separate issue altogother.)

If it's the happiness of the fetus you're worried about, perhaps you should consider another A word, adoption.  The whole "well, you won't be happy anyhow, so I'll just kill you now & save you the trouble" argument disturbs me.  There is no shortage of people who want babies but can't have them.  In fact, people go through all sorts of time, trouble, & money to get their hands on a baby.  As such, very few newborns go unadapoted.  The children who do end up growing up in the foster care system were either born with some disease or defect, or were more likely orphaned some time later in their life (parents dying, taken away due to abuse, etc).

And what do "religious people" have to do with this?  Yes, there are a lot of people who use that as their sole argument against abortion, but that's bad arguing, & I haven't seen much of that here.  Whether or not a fetus is a person can be argued entirely on a scientific basis (does it feel pain, does it have consciousness, etc).  Being religious is by no means a prerequisite for caring about life.
