What if the mother is not ready to take on the care of the child? Will we bring another unloved thing into this world? As a victim of child abuse, growing up being unloved and scorned for the simple feat of existing was something that has scarred me for the rest of my life. I don't want that to happen to anyone else - and plus, if the abortion happens early on, the child has never opened their eyes or experienced life. I think the people who are going to give birth to a child have full right to decide if they want it or not. Sometimes, the circumstances just aren't right. Also, you have to take into account the idea of rape - should a woman be forced to carry the child of a man who raped her? There's a lot of situations and overall, in general, the person who gives birth should be allowed to make the final call.
