I know there are probably threads on this but I don't want to shift this into the Extended Discussion and everything gets nasty.

The usual reasoning one will give when they say "abortion is cruel", is the point that a life was killed. But I think what constitutes a life is our ability to think. I shall assume that a fetus does not have the ability to think, even if it has, the thoughts will probably be forgotten the moment it interacts with the world and grows up.

Instead I think it isn't wise if you insisted on keeping the baby but you know you do not have the capability or mentality to bring him/her up properly. I believe many problems we are experiencing now stemmed off from our childhood, and it was something unpleasant that happened in our childhood that impacted us heavily. I would think if the same bad thing happened to a child and an adult, it will be less traumatic for the adult because an adult knows what to take in unlike the kid who takes in everything that was shown.

What do you think?
