I like this TheReporter guy. We need more posters like him.

Fixed.

See, that's why English needs gendered nouns. Then she could call her herself "TheReportress" and all would be well.

Of course abortion should be rare. Even if you're 'pro-choice' you can hardly consider it a morally neutral act. It's death (and death for no reason is...)

...Except there are people out there who don't view it as killing.

And they're wrong.

It's about as killing as killing a spider or something.

Nah, spiders are more alive than this thing:

You do realize that was you (and all of us) at one point, don't you? 

Sure. I was also a bunch of atoms in space at some point. Doesn't mean I have any fondness for random asteroids or stars.

If I were aborted, I wouldn't have an opinion on being aborted because I would have never existed. Simple as that. A lot of things could have happened that would have prevented me from being born; as a person who currently exists and enjoys existing, I'm happy that the millions of things necessary for me to exist occurred, but I'm not going to be upset for the literally billions of other potential people who could have existed if other decisions had been made.

I find the thought of teenaged or young adult women who, because of a mistake or an episode of poor judgment, are forced to cut short their dreams and goals to raise a child that will always be on at least some level unwanted much more upsetting than the thought of my parents hypothetically aborting me.
