14. More Situations are Extreme than you Realize
A healthy baby is truly a miracle. There are so many pregnancies where the fetus doesn't form right. To bring these babies into the world is a very difficult choice. For the families that make the choice to do so, kudos to them. Not everyone can cope with that, be it emotionally or financially. And though I hate bring life down to dollars and sense, let's face it. Who is going to be financially responsible for these children? Not the compassionate conservative!

If you sit in a hospital waiting room with families awaiting the one or two physicians in a city that will do terminations after 12 weeks, you won't see any partying. You will see lots of tears of remorse, sadness, grief, etc.

Choice needs to be made available for all women. Of course there are those who will abuse the system, but that's the way it is in every situation. How many people don't abuse some system one way or another. It is amazing the loopholes that are found. Does that mean good laws shouldn't be made?
