Convenient Murder

The article http://www.abortionfacts.com/life_or_choice/prolife_information.asp made some very strong points regarding the pro-life point of view of abortion. It begins by stating that pro-life supporters are "diverse in economic status, race, religion, and education." and that all humans have "the inherent right to live." There are also many morale arguments presented in the article as well, such as an "unborn child is human" and "life begins at conception". (abortionfacts.com)

The article shows the major points of the argument presented by pro-life supporters, and I agree with nearly all of it. Is it our place to murder an innocent, unborn child? I think not. Some may argue that it is their decision on whether or not they take the life of their baby. In these modern times, it is their decision. But how could one take the life of their child and not feel remorse for it? It is a very selfish act in my opinion.

I am not a mother, and I will never be a mother. However, I can't imagine the thought process that leads a woman to kill her child for the sake of convenience. Sure, I can picture it if the mother will die. That's more understandable. But for the sake of convenience? That's downright heartless. And wrong. Would one not wonder what that child would have grown up to be? What about the impact that they would have had on the world? Instead of possibly changing the world, they simply become a statistic. They become one of the many lives ended before it could even begin.
