What are your thoughts on abortion? Are you for, against or undecided?

Sorry, but this is a tired question.

Nonetheless, I'll answer you.

I'm all for it, simply because I support freedom of choice, which is supposedly the cornerstone of most, if not all advanced countries.

Apart from that, I'm a man. Who am I to say what a woman should or should not do with her own body?

That said, I must admit, I'd be upset if my wife or girlfriend chose to abort our baby, but I'd support her decision in any case, and comfort her to the best of my ability.

Abortion is not easy, despite what many may think. My own sister got an abortion, after taking certain medications for a dangerous illness. The meds she had to take would inevitably result in a deformed child, and she made the decision to abort for her child's sake. She did not want him or her to suffer. And years later, she still cries about it, despite the fact that she made the right moral choice, IMO.

It would be cruel to give birth to a child, knowing full well that his life would be a nightmare.
