Abortion

Who the hell am I to judge - I'm a man. But I can try and reason.
A woman probably feels she has the right to decide, because it is she who is most affected, whichever way she goes. She may feel it is not the time for her, she may not have the resources to support a child, or the time even. The last thing we want is an uncared for child who strays into drugs and violence. And maybe all she wanted was a one-night stand. Frankly, if you ask me, sex and pregnancy should be different things. People want to have sex way more often than they want to have a baby, and thats the way it should be. What would you choose - hmm, lets see -
a) A 20 minute wildly exciting orgasmic experience or
b) A 20 minute wildly exciting orgasmic experience along with a 20 year responsibility gilded with perks from pregnancy and a painful child birth procedure to school, homework, rebellious adoloscence, college up until marriage
I'll take option a, thank you very much! But thats a different topic altogether, so we wont go there.

But is abortion killing? If you were not allowed to kill a born child, should you be allowed to kill an unborn child? How about all those murderers who have been convicted and serving terms for killing two people when a pregnant mother was the victim? The mother could very well come to the conclusion that she will not be able to provide well for the child after he/she is born - should she be allowed to kill a 2 hour old kid? Is a fertilized egg a life only after it is born? Whats the cut-off age below which its ok to kill? And I've also heard the argument the the fertilized egg is only capable of being a child after so many months, and you are not really killing if you abort at an early stage. Recently the US Supreme Court ruled that late abortions are illegal, i.e., a foetus that is able to survive outside the mother's womb in an emulated environment cannot be aborted.
Or is this about pain/torture(the animal activist theme)? Is the argument really - "hey, an unborn child cannot feel pain, so its ok to abort and its the mom's right, but a born child can feel the pain". In that case, should painless killing be legal - I am sure there are ways - maybe consuming cyanide is one (although you wouldn't really know if it was truly painless until you had it, and if you did, you are already dead).

So I dont know where I stand on this one yet. I'm sitting really - I see sense in both sides of the argument. So I will sit and wait for someone/something to enlighten me. I however dont subscribe to the biblical/religious reasoning behind the pro-life campaign, and dont buy it when people say 'God said abortion is wrong'. God certainly didn't say anything to me. In fact, I don't believe God ever said anything to anyone, but more on that issue under a different post.
