I'm very strongly pro-life. Because I think babies, whether they're born or not, are real people. If you're Christian, the Bible says that God knew you while you were still in the womb, and had plans for your life. That verse alone leaves no room for a Christian pro-choice stance. Even without a religious doctrine, unborn babies still have heartbeats, fingerprints, facial structure, internal organs, all within the first few weeks of conception.
Most abortions aren't cases of incest, rape, or risk of injury to the mother or child. The vast majority (93%) are cases of mere convenience. As in, "I'm going to kill my baby because I don't feel like being pregnant." Though I don't support the option of abortion in cases of rape or incest, I fully support the option in any case where there is significant risk to the mother and/or child if the child is carried to full term. That, and only that, situation is one in which the option of abortion should be acceptable.
The primary alternative, of course, is adoption. There are four times as many parents on the waiting list to adopt children than there are abortions every year. So there goes the "what if they can't raise it right" chance.
Not to mention, the father of the baby, in nearly all cases, has no say in the decision to end the life of his child. The child is not the mother's alone, and if you want to consider it some sort of "property" that the mother can do what they wish with, realize that the father should also have a say in the life of his own child.
It's just a clump of cells, you say? What's the difference between a clump of cells inside the womb and a clump of cells outside the womb? You try to call one a human being, and the other absolutely nothing? It doesn't work like that. Not one of us is any more than a clump of cells. Sure, some of us have more cells than others, but there's no difference besides that -- we're big clumps of cells.
There are thousands, if not tens or hundreds of thousands, of cases in which mothers who had abortions later realized that they could not have children when they wanted to. Who knows how many cases of abortions leading to further problems there have been.
I had other things to say, but can't remember them. I'm sure there'll be more later.
