Well, this is always a dodgy topic for me, but I think I've sussed it from a kind of "it happened to me, so its the same for everyone else" view.

I can't remember what life was like while I was still inside the womb, therefore my level of intelligence must've been pretty low. Therefore, I couldn't have cared less if my parents had an abortion.

Edit from here downwards, hit space-enter by accident.

On the other hand, I disagree with abortion, at least in the Western world. There are adequate foster care systems in place that can take babies whose parents do not want them.
On the other hand (hell i have three hands? ) as Tasha said, it must be pretty bad knowing that you're an "unwanted child".

Also, apparently abortions can cause problems when women want to properly start a family, so in this respect abortion is a bad thing. And it causes them to feel pretty depressed, etc.

But, all in all, from my first point, it's not really "murder" (unless you count killing "anything" murder, in which case killing a single-cell ameoba is murder, in which case you're calling your body a murderer - [/ot]) so it should not be made illegal.
