Abortion has been a contentious issue since my mother was a child. Too many people think it's their job to tell people what to do with their lives and with their bodies. It's very basic. A fertilized egg is not a person, not only that, but most fertilized eggs don't implant in the womb. A fetus is not a person, any number of reasons can prevent one from forming into a healthy human baby. They're, at best, potential people, not actual people and I have to preference actual people.

@@aristola4116 Birth. For the sake of the abortion issue, viability. Even then, there's a chance they won't make it. I was very nearly in that camp being born nearly 2 full months prematurely. Had my father not been in the U.S. Navy and had Uncle Sam footing the bill, I absolutely would not have survived. My parents wanted to have me and fought for my survival, but if they couldn't, I wouldn't have known much of anything. My issue with the "pro-life" movement is that is absolutely is not. They are pro-birth. Once that happens, they don't give a crap about the child. They want to build a system where all pregnancies result in birth, mother's health and child's viability be damned.

@Consume_Crash The existence of abortion is not the death of the family. Anyone who says that's the case is a fool. It's not like every single woman is going to just terminate every pregnancy. Even at its most prevalent and ubiquitous, it never exceeded the one in thousands use factor. Finally, family doesn't mean only what you define it to mean. The idea of a nuclear family is EXCEEDINGLY modern. For the incredibly vast majority of human civilization, families were multigenerational, often missing the father because of war or the mother due to disease. Quit your nonsense and read someone other than one that will confirm your biases.
