The embryo/fetus inside a woman would be the exact same entity when born. DNA would be exactly the same. Genetics would be the same. That embryo/fetus is biologically hers AND the father's. A child born comes from the uterus not from an embryo or fetus. No one hatched from an embryo or fetus. EVERYONE born already used to be an embryo or fetus. The definitons of an embryo or fetus is unborn young. What is the young? In humans, it is children! We have to start somewhere. We only develop and grow from conception. Nothing new is added to us. Our species does not change.

lol I don't get the logic in telling a woman who views her unborn child as a baby that it the unborn child was not a baby.

Bigboybry, those are tough words coming from someone who could never be pregnant- a male I presume. Some women who get abortions should never ever be mommies and we should all rejoice that they don't spawn and would probably be just another Andrea Yates, not ALL women are. You don't know why every woman gets an abortion but nobody should be forced into parenthood by conception, male or female just that women get to abort the spawn while men get to walk away and deny the spawn. Some women who have babies DO become like the likes of Andrea Yates and kill mercilessly, all of her innocent children. Would you raher these people have children and molest, abuse, kill, mistreat, starve or neglect them? Resent them even? Children need love like all other huan beings at every stage of their lives and some people simply can't love babies or children ad a career or education at the time or ever for that matter. They just don't have the ability so they need abortions.

Some women have abortions because they realised the ejaculating apen who fathered the sperm-omelet is a waste-of-oxygen craptastic loser whose DNA needs to be wiped from the planet. Is that what happened to you, bigboy?

I have zero regrets for aborting and I will do it again in a New York minute if my contraception fails and I conceive again. I don't give a fat rat's behind what some meathead on the internet thinks about me. I know I did not do anything wrong.

No, they need the chance to get permanently sterilized. Sterilization should be easier to obtain for those who feel they need them. Especially for those who hate children and have the potential to hate their own.

By the way, if these type of women do for some reason give birth and keep the child, there is no excuse whatsoever to abuse, neglect or kill that child. You can't do that to anybody else. It's against the law. Hating someone doesn't give anyone the right to hurt them. If they have the potential to mistreat their own children by abusing, netlecting, or even killing them, they also have the potential to do the same to ANYONE or ANYTHING they resent or don't love (certain family members, pets, other people's children, etc.) That's why they should really consider sterilization, because there is no guarantee they would have an abortion anyway. The less people they hurt, the better. Some women who hate kids still have them even with abortion being legal. Sterilization should be encouraged for these type of people (men or women).

While I would love to see elective sterilization done for ANYONE of ages 18 , I doubt it will happen. I had to fight tooth and nail to have an elective sterilization done on myself and I have HEALTH issues, including a history of preterm delivery. So, until doctors view women (and men sometimes)as being smart enough and knowing themselves enough to know what they want (or need), elective sterilization will still be hard to come by. There are some doctors that will do it if you ask, but they are few and far to come by. And please, not every woman who does not wish to breed hates children. Not every person who hates children would abuse a child. And it is possible to resent or regret someone without hating or abusing them. Don't get me wrong, I do believe any woman who resents or regrets her child is unfit to parent, but it does not make her an abuser. And don't forget some women are coerced to NOT abort, thus their pregnancy options end and their parenting options begin. I think any woman who was forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy would feel at least a little resentment and regret. Yet it doesn't necessarily mean she hates the child she bore, heck she could even love that child very much. If it is possible to regret an abortion and still love the fetus or embryo you aborted, then it is also possible to regret having a child at the time (wishing you could give your child more things...but don't have enough money...that could be considered a type of regret, wishing you had waited, that is a type of regret)you did and still love that child. I think BOTH sides of the debate need to have a bit of compassion...not every woman who aborts is a cruel, hating, mean, unloving, psycho monster....and not every woman who chooses to NOT abort is a crazy, breederbrained, holier-than-tho queen bee mommy. I just wish the prolife (at least most of them) side could understand the REASONS behind abortion are not just social...they are emotional, situational, personal and sometimes medical as well. And sometimes ALL OF THE ABOVE.
