Abortion is a really odd subject, but I think I'm pro-choice.
A baby, unintentionally born is a terrible thing. Many people here have said that the parents should have to keep the child, as a sort of punishment. If the parents have no desire to have the child then it would be a horrible environment to grow up in. Living life as a mistake would be awful on your self-esteem, family relationships, and developing your identity in younger years.
Also, many unintentioned conceptions are from teenagers. Again, the parents need to support the baby. I agree that it's wonderful that we live in a world where women can work to support themselves, but if they're teenagers or young adults still involved with finishing an education so they're adequatly prepared to enter the work force, then it's more than likely that they'll have to settle for jobs with bad pay (unless something of a miracle occurs). Paying for a child's care, food, clothing, etc. would burn through whatever money was there. Many teenage fathers also find ways to escape the consequences of child raising (of course, there are always exceptions), making it even harder on the mothers.
A child born from a rape would be horrendus for both the mother and the child. Could you possibly imagine seeing a reminder of a scarring event in your life in your own child? Also, explaining to him or her that his/her father is a brutal criminal that committed a huge crime against his/her's own mother? This is definently a situation in which I believe that abortion is alright.
Once again, I haven't accidentally pregnated anyone before so I can't speak from experience as a father made so by mistake. These are just my views as a teenage pseudo-Christian.
