Well, it seems the author of this piece was educated by the same people who run the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS, or at least people of a similar level of education. That is the only logical way to explain the bunch of platitudes I've just read. So, to educate our ignorant author, here are a few things to consider about abortions:
1. No one sane in this world thinks an abortion is a happy or a fun thing to have, but educated and enlightened people recognize that sometimes they are necessary.
2. After 20 weeks of pregnancy or so, a fetus perhaps fits your definition of an unborn human. Before that point, we are merely talking about a chemical process that's taking place. You can believe that once conception occurs, we are talking about a living human being, but that has everything to do with religious convictions, and nothing to do with science. I don't know what biology books you are referring to, but I'd be happy to read them.
3. Ignoring your senseless comparison with other real human rights issues, it seems that you imply that abortions should be prohibited no matter what. So - does that include rape? genetic defects? a 16 year old who got pregnant accidentally and really isn't ready to be a parent yet, or even to undergo the process of pregnancy? Are you out of your mind? Do you propose to add more misery to this world just to preserve some fanatic ideal?
We now live in the 21st century, not in the 11th. I suggest you update your social values a bit. Wouldn't hurt you, and the people surrounding you.
