1. The termination of a developing Embryo or fetus, egal in most states up until the 2nd trimester.
2.A good thing. Even if the woman has consensual sex and takes no precautions, it is still up to her wether or not to abort the pregnancy. It is still her right, even if the choice is made for the most asinine reason imaginable, for instance, "I don't like the way kids smell". I find it ironic that "Pro-Life"-rs have murdered hundreds of doctors who preform abortions. Also, what about other forms of contraception? If by wearing a condom or taking the pill a couple prevents a pregnancy from occuring, is that the same as an abortion? Why would it be any different? It would only be the elimination of another possible human life, right? Or do you only care about life of any kind, for instance, the millions of skin cells scraped off every day by normal scratching, for example? If that's the case, than anyone who has ever had a rash or skin irritation is a serial killer. All I want is a little consistincey, that's all.
"I was pregnant. I did not wish to be. I had an abortion. I am happier for it. Is that a problem?
