Abortion

Abortion is the premature ejection of a fetus from the uterus to end the pregnancy. This simple action has sparred off countless of debates with an array of variety. Some arguing that all abortion is immoral from the first to the last, others attempt to create lines on the ground saying that a dividing cell in the first weeks is alright but reaching the last few weeks of pregnancy is immoral. Even still are the views that abortion is right in no matter which period of pregnancy, which leads to more arguments about choice, context and etc.

As for me, I'm a person that relies heavily on context. Rarely can you apply a single inflexible rule that can universally be "right" no matter when applied; those types of rules are left for Nature to inscribe, which even then tend to be bent. Given what I just said it could be simple for me to just state I am in the "choice" camp. That a woman, or a couple in unison, have the right to choose what to do with their pregnancy. Assuming that they are rationale adults there is no reason to treat them as children and preach to them what to do from conclusions derived from others. They will not live the next 18 years with that offspring and therefore have no right to impose any responsibilities onto anyone.

Still, while saying this there are limits, if one where a truly responsible adult they would terminate the pregnancy as early as possible as soon a conclusion has been reached by that person. I'd severely doubt that anyone would take nine months to assess whether they want an offspring or not. This obviously makes it fuzzy whether it should be "allowed" that late in the term for those who view a full grown human fetus with great respect. Such arguments I would actually willfully debate since at that point the mothers merit of responsibility comes into question. An exception would be unless someone wants to donate their fetus to science for stem cell research. That idea alone would probably horrify some people but to me it's again the parents choice to live with the idea and memory of doing such action. It holds no effect to me when someone aborts, so who am I to step in and make it my business? When someone doesn't abort however, I could let those slide who wish to intervene because the addedly of another mouth to feast on our limited resources would effect others; even if it's almost imperceptible in a global scale.
