abortion is a matter of convenience rather than either a medical necessity or economic realities.

I am not saying that we should make any aboortion illegal.

I am simply saying that a happily married woman who elects to abort solely because it was a "surprise" or hubby already had a vasectomy (oops) might be considered selfish (though not in all cases).

No one should be forced to bring an unwanted child into the world. but if we argue that war and capital punishment are immoral because it devalues human life, then at a minimum we ought to allow that abortion for selfish reason ought to be rare.

I support a woman's right to choose in all instances, but if someone chooses to have unprotected sex, they should understand the they can get pregnant. To use abortion solely as a means of contraception can be ssen as selfish.

That is why I support RU-486 and to the extent it is sefe "the patch".
