Ever heard of adoption?
@ Doodan's statement: I don't think so.. I grew up around Mormons, and they never spoke of that O.o...
Evidently, yes. The chances of getting adopted aren't that good.

This isn't Oliver Twist.
The foods better and the government is better. What other differences are there that effect the child?
People in orphanages rarely rise in life, due to a poor education. Don't tell me you'd have a wonderful life if you were a janitor all your life. Please.

Sperm is not alive.
But it can lead to life.

Castrating is BEFORE the fetus has life, abortion is the fetus had already started growing.
It's no more different then a regular cell in intelligence. It's brain is working but it has no sentience to speak of and is not aware of it's surroundings. 'Oh noez, I killed a cold!'
QUOTE(daddy)
omg your not reading my posts. The fetus is LIFE, it has already started growing, you are killing that life. But castrating yourself is not killing a fetus becuase they fetus isn't even there.
Fetus is life, as is a sperm, an egg, or a zygote! What's the difference? By castrating yourself you're denying a zygote life, which in turn denies the baby life!
When you kill a baby it's brain cares because of instinct (which probably isn't developed), not because of semi-sentient thought. It's just like any other organism doesn't want to die.

Abortion I think is fine but it needs tight restrictions and punishments.
If a teen gets pregnant and has an abortion she has learned nothing except the fact that she can can get away with it. There needs to be some way of her to "suffer" for what she did so she won't do it again.
One of the main arguments is when is something alive. Whether something that is microscopic/close to in a womb alive or not is really oppinion. I personaly don't know though when I would classify something a living or not.
Well, you have a point, but why not just charge for the abortion? Isn't that what they do anyway?
