Seems like every one has a strong opinion on this matter, whereas I am really perpetually in a grey zone with it. On one hand, the whole process just seems so wrong from a visceral standpoint, and often the child could be given up for abortion. On the other hand, I agree that at such an early stage, it's no worse than killing some low level organism. Where the line is drawn, I don't know. I like the idea of 40 days. If people wanna go around getting knocked up and let it go unknown and undecided that long, then maybe just tough it out and give it up for abortion. Add the element of over-population and then my head is really spinning. I do like the idea of giving "castration drug" injections to sex offenders and people the court had deemed unsuited to raise children. It's amazing how many seemingly well-adjusted people turn out to be bad parents, even. There should be some rigorous child psychology, basic health care, and nutritional tests administered to people who plan to raise a child, plus sufficient evidence presented that said child is financially likely to be cared for.
People running around, banging like rabbits, co-existing with nature in a similar fashion to a virus, tossing unwanted fetuses, keeping kids while on section 8 and nursing a methadone addiction... It's all a bit chaotic. But this is just stream of consciousness. I find it somewhat disturbing when anybody feels strongly one way or another on abortion. It's not freeing the slaves or lowering taxes, you either seem somewhat sociopathic on one end of the spectrum, or unrealistically rigid on the other.
