Read through all the messages in the thread so far, and I think I'll make a note now.

Adoption is great. Getting a chance at life no matter how bad your roots were (drug addicts, idiots, parents that don't want to be parents, parents that can't handle being parents, and any other type of horrible parent) is just another chance to do what you want. I think chances are nice. Kill the kid and there's no chance or possibility of seeing what could have been.

I don't think abortion is the greatest choice. If it's the sake of your life for the baby's then sure, go for it. But why take away the chance for any child to become a person and experience the world? I don't think it's right for someone else to decide what happens to another living being (I guess that means humans here) without their consent. A developing embryo isn't going to be able to tell a desperate "mother" whether it wants to live or not.

Aborting an unborn baby is still killing in my mind. It's not yet conscious or really capable of thought YET, but it will be. If the kid ends up hating his life so much, he or she'll go and kill himself. It's more likely he or she'll end up happy with a foster family though. A baby is not a legal person yet because it's head isn't out of some woman's womb? Seems like a loophole to say that you can kill if if it isn't all there yet. "It's only a lump of meat if only it's body is out." I can't back up my opinion with real facts, but it just doesn't feel right to kill anything that way. So cold-blooded...kind of like killing an animal.

Reading this over, I don't really know what I meant to say. Just that abortion is not a good thing.
