I've heard many say that abortion is killing a baby, and therefore, a soul. The baby is a person from conception and must have a soul, so it is murder, etcetera, etcetera. However, I had one question I'd like to pose to you:
What about babies that would not have been born if abortion was not legal? What of women who have abortion, go on to finish college and meet the right guy, and then have children. I think we can all agree that if the woman had the kid, a sort of "Butterfly Effect" would have happened, and her life would have been completely different. I know women who have had abortions and they would not be where they are today if they hadn't.
Many say having an abortion is robbing a child of his/her life, but what about the kids who wouldn't exist if abortion wasn't legal? Isn't that robbing them of their lives? [/
I don't know if abortion is always a bad thing but your argument is because unless you believe anything should be allowed because we don't know the eventaull outcome i.e. I murder someone that would have had a great grandchild that turned out to be the next Hitler. You see were I'am going anything could be justified with that logic. I'm sure someone ahas already brought this to your attention but there is alot of replies and I don't want to read them all.

Absolutely. You wouldn't exist if EITHER ONE of them chose not to have an abortion.
Other people would exist in your place, and no one would know that they should be missing you, so it wouldn't be sad per se, but you would cease to exist (along with many others out there).
Take from it what you will, but don't show gratefulness. They'll just accuse you of not caring about the fetus that was aborted for you to live. They are vicious in their insensitivity and attacks.
When you are in the womb, they care, but the second you leave it, you're on your own with these people.
