I missed that. I was giving my ideals because that's the nature of this topic... I wasn't answering anyone. If I was responding to a specific post I would have quoted it.
I guess rational individuals make assumptions about sensitive topics, so I must not be rational. The only thing my post was trying to get at was that abortion is unfortunate but sometimes necessary, and can (and should be) avoided more than it already is.
BUT because you assumed I was talking to you, I might as well give you the response I am capable of giving now.
One point I disagree with you on is the couples' "accidental" pregnancy. There is no such thing as an accidental pregnancy. That's like staying awake for 3 days on end and 'accidentally' falling asleep in the middle of a movie. I think you mean 'unintended'. Accident is a term that puts responsibility on some other entity other than those affected. Sex can not happen accidentally. If you're tasting the fruit, you have to take care of the seeds...
In this case, I believe our character is going to die directly from pregnancy, which makes abortion slightly more reasoned in this case. Its a priority to keep functional adults alive. If the issue were solely monetary, an abortion would end two lives because she didn't take into consideration all the possible scenarios that could arise when little matt was going to town on her cat. If they're too poor to take care of the babies they might create by fornicating, they shouldn't be fornicating.

I think you're being a bit nit picky. "Accidental" here was used in the context pertaining to "unintended".
I'm REALLY holding back on the whole "if they're too poor to take care of the babies they might create by fornicating, they shouldn't be fornicating", just to avoid going off into MY style of different arguemental tangents. I really do get where you're coming from though.
