Like you some of u people are stupid, without abortions you'd just have millions of young single mothers who can't afford to live increasing the amount of people on welfare which would also drastically increase your Taxes.
I actually can't decide whether or not abortion is ethical. I have no problem killing, say, a tapeworm that leeches nutrients from your body and has next to zero self-awareness. But a tapeworm will always be a tapeworm, whereas a fetus is eventually going to become a human being - the key is the difference in potential. So, is getting rid of that potential existence similar to murder? I can't quite rationalize it.
Well, I consider the problem with murder to be the pain it causes the victim and their family, rather than the potential life they could have lived, unless there was some specific positive thing you know they would have done.
It's not like they'll be alive to miss that life, and most lives terminate in ways that aren't overall helpful to the planet; if the parents don't want them or can't take care of them, that means they'd probably be born into pretty poor circumstances on top of it.

And of course, there's the parents to consider, who are already alive and will actually have to deal with whatever choice they make (or are not allowed to make). I mean, people should be taught to use condoms, birth control, etc. to avoid the situation, but once it's happened, it's happened, and forcing a woman to go through the process of carrying a child for 9 months, giving birth, and taking care of that child she hadn't planned for, or giving it up for adoption, as well as forcing a child to be born into a family that didn't want them, isn't worth holding reverence for a hypothetical life's "potential" among >7 billion.

i predict there is going to be a term for people who actively want the world to end apocalyptic style. very soon. and i will identify as it.
They're called fundamentalists.
no, that's for fundamentalism, a far more obnoxious and idiotic philosophy than what lono was implying. I guess I can see how your suggested usage could catch on in some circles though
"While I am an intelligent and likable mass murderer."
Has someone already mentioned/discussed that the terms "Prolife" and "Antilife" are inherently biased in favor of those who are "PROlife" (i.e., against abortion)?
The correct term is prochoice dude. He was being /edgy/
