When i was a christian, i used to believe all life was sacred at birth and that no matter what size the fetus was still a child and shouldn't be aborted no matter what. As i've progressed i grew to accept the pro-choice position. It's very annoying since i can't really defend myself on some issues that are brought up during our family conversations. I think this has to due with me just being caught off guard and my slow response time.
Anyways, to me it makes more sense to not interfere with the woman's decision since its her body up until you get to the thri-mester. There is a grey area where the baby can still be viable and survive outside the womb. Before that, the baby can be considered a parasite if a couple was being irresponsible in bed. I don't think it makes sense to punish the couple and force them to take care of a child they didn't intend to have, especially if the couple are barely surviving financially speaking or are mentally in capable of taking care of one in the first place.
If they are forced to have the child, they will probably do a poor job at parenting and who knows what will happen to the neglected child. Maybe they would be influenced by trouble makers and commit crimes. This is why i believe (here in the US) that the poor areas in black community have a problem. The husbands ditch their women and they are left with the child. They don't have an abortion because the majority of them are pro-life and then this sh*t happens. In order for my folks to avoid seeing this grey area they see it as black and white like good and evil. I don't like falling into the the category that such and such things are intrinsically good but i also don't want to see myself slipping down the relative path. I think there are generally universal principles that fellow human beings should abide by.
As i type out my thoughts and re-examine my stance on this issue it seems to make sense but i wonder if i'm still wrong. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter as i don't want to be someone who is just lost and confused about it.
