"Is abortion moral" Is too vague of a question.
A lot of people who call abortion immoral do so because they have little experience in life, they know only their own reality and they apply it to everyone else. They think the ONLY reason anyone get's an abortion is because they are irresponsible and using it as birth control-that's what I was raised to believe.
Then I grew up and came to understand the reasons for abortion are as varied as human beings and their life experiences and situations.
Some miserably self-unaware people may claim to know every situation and to have a solution but they absolutly do not and should mind their own business.
Here is a pretty extreme example:

Well honestly like I said it doesn't really matter to me when a fetus becomes 'human'. I still think of a fetus as a thing in general, as it doesn't have any consciousness or awareness of what's going on. All I know is that it isn't a living, talking, breathing person. I said it was an oversimplification because you are comparing it to a living, breathing person with x years of life and experience under their belt.
I think it's interesting how you are defining life. A fetus is really, just a bunch of cells, especially in the earliest stages. Biologically, it's living. So are bacteria, insects, and germs. But it's still not a person. Comparing it to killing somebody is wrong
Um, yes, children are much more expensive than you are implying. Quality of life is an issue here. College is roughly 50k a year for 4 years = 200k-not including the years leading up to that and 24/7 vigilance of looking after them when they are younger. What good parents ideally want to leave their kids in debt and fending for themselves after they turn 18? Parenthood is never ending. After you have a child, it's a lifetime commitment to care for them. Unless you want to be a horrible parent.
Oh please. Lol the ethics of society. Same thing people say about gay marriage. Again, there's no impact of abortion on society. Prove to me otherwise.
Well I wanted to make it clear my views are rigid, I know these kinds of things tend to go nowhere because neither of us will change our mind. I guess it's still interesting to discuss, but I'd rather not defend if that makes sense.
Oh but there is, for starters:
The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime
Does Abortion Lower Crime Rates? - ABC News
There is also the obvious fact that fewer women will die of back alley abortions, suicide from being forced to have a baby they cannot support, assault and even murder from parteners who do not want children
Far less money will need to be allocated for the welfare ( and foster care) of children born into poverty-something I would think conservatives would enjoy since they “hate payin fer them single whoresâ€
The same goes for severly disabled children who would otherwise need life-long care.
And of course, the simple fact that people are a lot happier when they have rights and autonomy over thier own bodies.
And I’ll leave with my favorite quot3 on abotion:
“ If men could have babies contraceptives would be over the counter and come in flavors like BBQand cool ranch!â€
And I imagine, abortions would be like flushots; available at every drug and grocery store and free for seniors.
