Shaun,
I'm taking the liberty to assume that you are a guy. Take it from a woman's point of view. Abortion is a health issue, not a crime. It’s the mother's life, her body and her choice…so long as you’re given one.
We can have a say in the way our entire country is run, but not a say in our own bodies? That's insane.
It is so wrong to lable abortion with 'murder'. If it is continualy frowned upon by society, there will be kids growing up on the streets all over the place, because the mother is too scared about what society will think.
"What if you found an abused little kid roaming the streets with no love in his or her life? Do you think it would be best to kill them too?"
That is such a stupid comment. Of course not. But maybe the mother was not given the choice of abortion. Therefore she had the child, was finacialy unstable to support the child and was unable to care for it. Had she been given the choice, she may had had the abortion to save the child from living in povery.

What if the mother had a serious mental problem and was physicaly and mentaly unable to care for the child. What then? Let it grow up with no attention and maybe even being physicaly abused? I'm sure it would be glad then that they were born.
