Who decides who must suffer and when they definitely will?  There are many parents who, though at first did not want children, found incredible joy in that new life, while other parents who wanted children and had them abused them.  So then, is the government to condone the destroying of life based on suffering?  No!  Each one has the right to determine whether they want life or not: that's called freedom.  Even then, the suicidal are often locked up into institutions to be convinced not to destroy themselves.  Society, even from a purely evolutionary perspective, needs to uphold the value of life, for if it doesn't, anarchy ensues.  It is no more moral to kill a child based on convenience, even if that child was created mostly by a woman who deems it inconvenient.  For us to presume that its existence would merely be suffering therefore is foolish.  We don't know, and a society held up to a standard of responsibility--the sanctity of life--would very well change its promiscuous ways with that responsibility in mind.  If it didn't change, then what's the point of sexual education to begin with!  Why should we inform someone of any form of sexual responsibility if there is no one will change their mind anyway?  Destroying the child is by no means a solution to this either, only a degradation into ungratefulness and worthlessness.  Life is a gift to be cherished.

Nice post... And comment on a contemporary issue... You came up and brought up points for both sides and then tied them together and came to your conclusion of them. Very nicely worded...

It is ludicrous to say that life is a choice because fetuses don't choose to live. They are made by the parents. I agree that abortion isn't a good solution, but the solution does not lie in making abortion illegal. A change in our society's way of thinking and functioning where we assist each other more and things aren't about the money would be neccessary, at least. There are other things too. I doubt that is going to happen. We had that long ago, but we've lost it as we've become more individualistic.
