Do you know how rare it is in nature for an animal to take on an offspring that is not its own? It does not happen often, you can see this with humans as well. Thousands of babies/kids are put up for adoption but never find a family. Many facing abuse within the system. They struggle to make it once they age out of the system. Many run into issues with the law, homelessness, and finding a job.
In nature, it is common for the mother to rid herself of any unwanted babies. Fortunately abortion gives us the opportunity to terminate the offspring before it can realize death is upon it. Any other animal will eat, kill, or abandon its unwanted offspring after birth. It is not natural to keep the unwanted babies around if you can not handle motherhood for any reason.
Before you say we can’t compare ourselves to animals, I must say we “ain’t nothing but mammals”. This is a universal thing across the animal kingdom, it effects us.

No. Typically the animal only kills right after birth, they do not wait several years. I must say, that was one good try to twist my message. Maybe try harder next time. @BryanSunshine
My wife is currently expecting. If, a few days after this kid is born, we realize this was mistake, then it's okay to terminate it?
At what age does it become wrong to kill your offspring? I'm really hoping maybe potty training is the cut off, because they become way less annoying after that.
If you comprehended my message, I was promoting abortion OVER killing the offspring after birth. Stop trying to twist my words, you’re too old for that childish tactic. I said abort while the fetus does not realize death. Once the birth happens, the child will develop cognitive ability to understand danger. Terminating should be done before that happens.
Side note, I’m surprised your wife can still have a kid. She should be in menopause by now. @BryanSunshine

But, thank you for clarifying.
[i]"One the birth happens, the child will have cognitive ability to understand danger."[/i]
Oh, Cool! I was not aware that the voyage through the birth canal bestows upon a fetus the ability to understand danger. Can you explain this a little more?
Well as the child grows, the brain further develops. I know, it’s very shocking. But once birth happens, the child does understand basic needs- for food, comfort etc. The development happens before the birth, obviously. Hence why the majority of late term abortions performed are ones that are for fetuses that are not viable and would not survive after birth, so it’s safer for the mother to abort then instead of waiting. Most abortions for viable fetuses happen before they reach the late stages and have cognitive ability.
Randomly choosing quotes and mashing them together is not an argument. It is obvious my intentions-hence saying I’m 100% for abortion in the beginning.
@BryanSunshine If I had to pick between a child suffering or never having the ability to suffer in the first place then I'm picking the second one. It's not cruel to the child if it's done before the nervous system is even developed.
@DunDunDun I'm not going to argue with you on that. But that doesn't seem to be MorbidCynic's main point. Your stance is very different than being "100% for abortion".
