I meant, try being pregnant for 9 months, go through the pain of childbirth, and then give the baby away. See how it works out.

An abortion in the beginning of pregnancy is not killing a child. There is only the potential for a child in that cluster of cells.

You are just repeating pro-life propaganda talking points.
If you say so...but you also can't deny that a woman never thinks about what might have been had they not aborted the human life developing inside of them. Anyone who says different is lying to themselves.

Yep, that’s why birth mothers were not allowed to see their babies. The mother sees that precious baby and forgets the nausea and the discomfort and the pain, and falls in love with her child and doesn’t want to give it up.

Killing a “clump of cells” is a much more convenient spin.

Have you ever talked to a woman whose had an abortion? That's not what I hear from them. Overwhelmingly, they are glad they made the choice they made.

Or, more commonly, even in this day and age there is incredible social stigma to carrying a child to term and giving it up for adoption. If there was more support and less stigma for women carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term, it would be more fair to say "simply adopt." It isn't that simple. Again, I understand this isn't relevant those who feel abortion is mirder, but on the flip side folks who think adoption is a simple no-brainer have to think about the reality of someone facing doing that, bringing a baby to term among her community and co-workers and then handing it over for adoption. I applaud those that can do that, but to say this is a "simple" solution is naive.
They should have thought about all of that before getting pregnant and prevented it.

Potential to be a human.

Saying yes to sex IS IN FACT saying yes to the fact that the result may indeed be pregnancy. Biological fact. It's science, Plain and simple.
