Many people do have services for their miscarried baby. It's a life that was lost because of natural reasons. People get sick and die too. It's natural. Doctor's try and keep them alive. When someone kills someone else that's not natural, and the police come and investigate to try and catch the murderer. The intent in a persons heart in an abortion is to end that new life. The same intent as the murderer. If left alone it would be a baby, not cells. So even at the beginning it is a person, not just cells. Viable means nothing. When a person is very sick they have to be cared for. They are not viable by themselves. Can you kill them because they aren't useful, productive, able to protest??? I'm sorry, but like all pro-death advocates your thinking is very twisted. In time the fetus is born and grows. It's a person. You murder that life through abortion. It's no less a life because it cannot speak and scream DON'T KILL ME, PLEASE!!!

You are thinking in terms of biology, not time, or morality.

RE: Personally I prefer to not abort if there is a chance for the child to grow up in a happy and healthy family. But if for some reason the mother, and the father, if present, do not have the resources to raise a child then it's better to consider other family planning options.

But some of the greatest minds have come from difficult circumstances that, in today's world, would demand abortion. Not even Bill CLinton would have been born in todays "don't want, can't afford, circumstances not perfect", abortion-crazy society.

Thanks to abortion, we have a nation full of middle class brat children whose great achievement is to sit on the couch and play Nintendo (when they are not killing their fellow classmates), and idiots who think that posting messages on internet chats is a meaningful existence.

Oh, how we could use a few great minds born of adverity, poverty, and strife, who overcame.
