Sometimes I get the odd argument that abortion is really a merciful thing because of all the heartbreak that an unwanted child is subjected to. My answer to that is "Oh, that means we should shoot all the orphans?---because they would be better off dead than unwanted?" They generally have a hard time coming back from that.
Thats right i did get that argument too. "Idk man, i wouldnt mind having been aborted." Ok well just because youre depressed doesnt give you the right to decide what happens to children that might follow a similar path. Imagine wanting to kill yourself so bad that you project that self hatred onto innocent babies.
An indication of inability to think. He wouldn't mind NOW having been aborted. But the abortions happen before the child is conscious, so the corresponding choice is not available. He can always fix his problem by committing suicide (not that I agree that suicide solves any problems). An aborted baby has no future option to choose reincarnation.
