The problem I have with this kind of thinking on abortion is that
you impose your belief on what is right on other but offer no help
in solving the problem. I would be totally for banning all abortion
if everyone who is against it would sign up to adopt every unwanted
child.
I think all religion should be banned since it is one of the main
sources of all intolerance, fanaticism and killing in the world. I
don't feel however that I have the right to impose my beliefs on
others.
I feel the same about abortion. I don't like it. My wife would
never have one. I however, don't feel that it is my place force my
beliefs on others.
