My google fu is weak today cant seem to find the article.

*edit* I just wanted to include that I think this guy is so full of it, you cant tell if he's exhaling or passing gas.

When does that whole moral thing become moral? 2nd trimester, 3rd? After its born? It can become an inconvenience at 3rd trimester, and then after its born, what if you don't want the infant to be adopted? Why don't women have the right to hold the kids under water for a bit?

We have a married couple, that have been practicing safe sex, only to have that 1 in a million happen.They are already older and have teenagers and careers.

I am just tossing out situations. I cannot really comment, because I never had to be in the situation.
I agree, that if a woman is whoring around, and gets Abortions to keep whoring, she should have to have some consequences, but to force her to keep the child is not a good answer, for the child.

I am just glad I am a man, and do not have to deal with that personally.

Some of you anti-abortion people may not know this but a child can't even survive on it's own unless he/she is at least 22 weeks old, and then is probably in for an extensive amount of time in the NICU.
