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.

A fetus does not have any rights.  It is not a living being, but instead a growth similar (certainly biologically, though perhaps not socially) to either a viral infection or a cancer.  As such, I see no problem cutting it out or otherwise removing it, until natural childbirth would set in, at which point it would become an independant, living being. 

Pro-life activists are pretty funny, if you ask me.  It's one thing to say that they themselves would never have an abortion, or even that they think it's wrong, but don't try to inject their morals into other people.  But these pro-life activists really get me.  I wont touch the absurd religious reasons, but let's take a quick look at the practical perspective. 

Save a fetus, because it's a person, too.  BS, but even if so, why not help EXISTING people instead?  Why force a kid into the world that doesn't want it, and then ignore all the other people who already are suffering?

It's such a horrible thing to prevent a fetus from being born.  Oh?  It's not as important as, say, stopping the pollution that will put hundreds of cities UNDERWATER in a few decades?  Or the crimes commited each day by murderers, rapists, pickpockets, and arsonists?  Will a fetus stop your house from burning?  No, maybe you should have tried to help that FIREMAN instead.  Can a fetus perform open heart surgery on you?  Maybe you should have helped the DOCTOR instead.

Put yet another damn mouth to feed on the planet?  Why should I have to suffer because somebody didn't want some bimbo who couldn't keep her legs together to get rid of something NOBODY WANT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Here's my proposal.  If anybody really thinks abortion is a bad thing, THEY can go ahead and take care of the resulting human larva.  People who get abortions (it's not a nice thing, we all know that, but it's often by far the lesser of two evils) will have to carry the burden of their decision for the rest of their lives.  It's easy to say "don't do that, it's wrong!"  Now some pro-lifers are genuinely concerned and have fair enough reasons.  But the vast majority, if they had to carry the responsibilty of the choice of having or not having an abortion would turn right around and shut up.
