I was choosing for my other children.

This point is rarely examined or taken seriously by anti-abortion activists. While abortion can certainly be a "selfish" decision, it is not necessarily so, and plenty of women make the decision to have an abortion for the benefit of the children they already have, and are having trouble providing with a decent upbringing.

how dare you bring some reasoning into the morass of propaganda that compromises the abortion debate.

I'm sure if the children were asked, they would prefer the already developing brother or sister.

Sophie's Choice?

Your kids are hungry. Which one are you going to pop into the stew pot?

Considering that there are plenty of people ready willing and eager to adopt babies this argument has no basis in reality.

,,, ah, it's for the children! If it's a resource management issue, why not kill the child they like least and let the oncoming one have a chance to please them more? Either way, it's murder.

Are you suggesting that the killing of an innocent unborn child is not selfish, because it might benefit the other children? I don't see the logic or the morality in this.

So because the current children just can't have all the cool things their friends have, their unborn sibling should die? That makes a lot of sense to me... HEAR OF ADOPTION????????????

I am so glad you were not a problem for your mother to give brth to.

Surely, you don't think that other childen will be happy that their sibling was aborted so that they could maybe have a better new coat or go on a longer vacation.
