I actually feel almost identically about this issue. The only difference is that I do dislike the idea of them. Abortions are unfortunate, and of course I'm going to become attached to the idea of something so wonderful. But that's why it's not fair to be basing laws off that feeling. Especially when the person bringing a life into the world is ill-prepared, ill-suited in general, or just uninterested in raising a child. I imagine a pregnant woman is dealing with much more powerful emotions than I as a detached commentator could ever feel. We shouldn't be making her feel worse about it because of our own personal qualms, ruining her life on top of having to make such a difficult decision. We far too often rush to judgment on people we don't understand. That, I think, is the underlying societal flaw that makes issues like this so unbearable to discuss.
