Discomfort isn't the issue. The issue is the life of the being after the fact. What if the family can't support it, for whatever reason* that family deems it would be a burden? How is it the right thing to do to impose our own beliefs onto them? You and I have nothing to do with them or their own personal situation, so why is it right to tell them what to do with it, through government coercion?
*be sure, I'm not suggesting a woman who constantly gets knocked up and just deals with it through abortion as the first option, and I don't think the statistics represent as much. The "reasons" I'm suggesting are financial, economical, moral, ethical.. kids who would grow up without a father around, which is known to cause issues for children later in life, especially boys, couples who simply can't afford another kid to feed, couples with substance abuse problems, couples with a history of domestic abuse, etc. A myriad of issues that are known, scientifically proven, to cause issues in the psyche of children later in life..
I simply don't understand why providing these cells the opportunity at such a life is better than terminating it before it becomes an issue. It seems to me, through the utilitarians scope, it would be more humane, ethical, moral, and logical, to accept abortion as a reasonable method of acceptance.
Why punish a person (a couple) because they may have made a mistake? Why force a person (couple) to deal with such life long, life altering consequences?
Abortion legislation, to me, seems like a vindictive method of "you reap what you sow". Another biblical lesson. What about those of us that don't abide by, and in fact resent, biblical teachings? What are we to think?
