POST ONE, by NoSuchThingAsAnOpinion
In the past I didn't have any strong opinions about whether abortion was right or wrong. I hadn't thought about it much.
I now believe one could make a strong argument that abortion is wrong. Why? Logic. Let me examine the arguments.
If a woman has an unwanted baby, and decides to keep it, it's very true that her life will be altered radically. Proponents of abortion may mention this. Hence, in this sense, an abortion would be a benefit to the mother. But benefits don't always outweigh the costs.
But what are the costs? Well, the main cost is that the fetus dies, through no choice of it's own. And the choice then becomes this: you either complicate the life of a mother who may have only 60 years more to live, or you end the life of a human that has their entire life to live. Using this logic, I don't see how abortion could ever be justified, unless you strongly value the life of the mother over that of the baby.
POST TWO. Waiting for a reader to write about the topic "Is abortion right or wrong?"
