I know 2 different people who have had an abortion (one was my sister!) and although I would never make that choice, I don't think it's up to us to determine what is right for them. Everyone's situation is different and until you can walk in their shoes you will never know what they are going through. It's not a situation that they can just forget about, as much as they try.
One could argue that IVF is wrong as well. I know several couples that feel this way, and I understand where they are coming from. But in the end, it's up to you to make the best decision for your life.
And look at the flip side. What if someone isn't allowed to have an abortion legally? They will end up going to some wacko and getting it done, possibly causing more damage. Or they will be forced to carry an unwanted child. We've seen what happens in that case: child thrown in dumpsters, burned in a microwave, killed, drowned. Don't you think that is just as cruel? But it still happens.
Again, I'm not saying abortion is something that I totally support. But I do support people having the choice to decide what is right for them. Think about the women that get to the end of a pregnancy and something happens. They have to choose between keeping themselves alive or the baby alive. Tough choice!
