IS abortion wrong? In response to Zonuss:

You'll never convince anyone that abortion is wrong unless you can convince them that it is murder and you'll never convince them it's murder if you can't convince them it's a person.

Abortion is only wrong when it does not suit someone's agenda.

A young woman who gets pregnant and seeks to terminate = WRONG

A wealthy woman who seeks In vitro Fertilization - pays thousands of dollars to (fertility clinics) [b]fertilize dozens of eggs[/b] and picks the most "viable ones" while discarding other fertilized eggs = GOOD

The young woman terminates one fertilized embro.
The wealthy woman terminates countless fertilized embryos.

The only difference is the wealthy woman terminates multiple "babies" (while being praised) while the young woman is shamed and without proper medical care.

Interesting. I never considered that aspect of in vitro
@UnparalleledMonster: I don't think you are alone ☺. As a society we are brainwashed to believe what is considered "good" vs "bad" without fully realizing the ramnifications.

As a woman, this issue makes me frustrated.

Well i don't know about brainwashed, but i do agree that people often don't think through the implications of a given point of view
@UnparalleledMonster:

I wouldn't know how IVF worked if it wasn't for a girlfriend who had THREE.
3 IVF = Cost Approx. 25K, 2 babies and 17 fertilized embryos.

Her fertility clinic also offered "bereavement counseling" for the discarded embryos.

That's some weird stuff. And also that's really expensive.
