Why is abortion wrong? I'd rather there be no abortions, but lacking perfect birth control, that won't happen. So, abortions are often necessary. I see an unwanted child as being worse than an abortion, for the child and the parents. I think abortions are the death of a potential human being. But, we've got seven billion actual human beings on the planet. Do we really need any more? When deer become to populous, we have no problem killing them until they are "managed". Industrial human beings are far more damaging to the environment than deer. We are just animals, not unlike deer. We should manage our own population. Abortion helps in that effort.

Get off your high horse. You don't possess a monopoly on morality. Clearly, it bothers you to no end that some people don't share your beliefs. Oops, I forgot, you are privileged and blessed and have a direct pipeline to G-d. Personally, I don't think G-d gives a hoot whether a woman has an abortion or not. I see no reason why a woman has to wreck her life, financially speaking, to raise a child, when she is not ready or established, professionally speaking. Yes, people should be responsible for their actions. But mistakes happen and there is no good reason why a woman (and child) should be gifted a life of financial servitude. Faith is just a matter of opinion; that is to say, there is nothing binding on humanity.
