Aborting a fetus does not equal killing a person.

A fetus is not a person.

If you want to think of your fetus as a person that's just fine, but you do not have the right to try to force others to believe as you do.

Is it legitimate for a child to kill a parent who inconveniences them by imposing curfews or refusing to pay for college? Maybe they just don't want that parent in their life. Seems like justifiable homicide according to your post.

Don't be silly. All laws impose beliefs on others.

I had no problem making the decision and have never regretted it for even a micro-second. Not ever. Most women I have talked to that had one, feel the same.

How so?

If you get pregnant I am not going to tell you to keep it, abort it, or adopt it out.........that is your decision not mine.

You force your belief system on the dead child.

Women are not incubators and zygotes/fetuses are not babies. Abortion is legal for those who want it, and not forced on those who don't. So if you don't want an abortion, don't get one. And leave those who decide to have one (or 20) alone.

Laws are made to protect the safety or rights of others.

My having an abortion has no impact on others.

Me neither. I was 17, made a huge mistake. My parents never knew.
