That's worse than just killing the kid when he's 12!So, putting up the child up for adoption so that it can have a better life than you can provide is worse than killing them?
no one should be forced to have kidsYou mean no one should be forced to have sex. You don't get pregnant out of watching TV or playing basketball...
If the woman doesn't want the child, she can abort it without the consent of the father (after all, she's the one carrying it). But if she does want to keep it, the father will have to pay child support etc.Interesting, but still besides the point. The father doesn't have to undergo all the bodily changes and risk death to give birth.
Or the child might grow up to be the next president!That doesn't sound too encouraging in these dark times
To all those people whom think a few cells live, DONT WALK YOU MIGHT KILL AN ORGANISM, DONT EVEN BREATH.Search for a definition of life. Living cells are alive. The question is not whether you are killing a living being (which of course, you are) but if you are killing a human.

Take a cell of that "being" and compare it with yours. It will most probably have the same amount of chromosomes than you >> it is human.
According to a lot of people here, a foetus becomes human "one magical day" which is undefined. Up to that unknown magical moment, it has no human rights.
To some people, "life" begins the day the baby is born. If for any reason the child is born prematurely, how much do we wait to consider it alive and human? Is a baby of a 9-month birth more human than a 7-month born?
The line has to be drawn somewhere.What imaginary line is that?
I'm saying why I don't support it.I'm sorry Kasp, until you grow a vagina, I can't respect that opinion. You're not the one that has to go through pregnancy/birth. It should be up to the woman in question to decide.
So by your logic, there is no difference between you and a foetus. Just a collection of cells, right?More or less, yes. I was once a foetus so we can't be very different. As I said before, if you are going to consider it a human being in the least possible way, then you should at least give it the most basic human right >> life
I'm sorry Kasp, until you grow a vagina, I can't respect that opinion. You're not the one that has to go through pregnancy/birth. It should be up to the woman in question to decide.I agree. But if some girl is carrying something which has half of your genetic structure, you could at least have an opinion. You can disagree even if it's legally up to her. Like I said above. If she doesn't want it and you do, you lose. If you don't want it and she does, you also lose.
Do you have any memories of being a foetus? I know i don't.I also don't have any memories of when I was a year old.
