"If abortion isn't a problem then why would you or others who support it care if there are more or less of them?"

personally, i don't have a problem with early abortions, but defining EARLY is arbitrary and isn't going to satisfy everyone. so every abortion is going to cause anguish to people like you, kevin g, and most are going to cause anguish to the people involved. i'm not for anguish for anyone. so i care if there are more or less of them. but, in some cases, you'll just have to deal with your anguish.

"I'm not sure I understand your statement about a baby being a part of a mother's body for at least six months and our inability to medically support it without the mother. Are you saying simply because the child is dependent upon the mother for life it isn't deserving of life itself? Excuse me but, I believe the child will be dependent upon an adult for years to come for its survival but that doesn't mean we can extinguish its life on a whim."

a good thing to consider, but the two dependencies you mention are wholly different.
