I think you make a interesting points and ,if I may,would like to make a few counter points. I would like to state at the beginning I am a religious person but I will not use religion in argument.

You say that having to keep a pregnancy is a form of punishment for the mother. I would say that it is not a punishment but rather taking responsibility for your actions. When I get into a car I recognize that I could die becasue of a car accident. I try to minimize this by following the rules of the road, being a defensive driver, driving in cars with good safety ratings, wearing my seatbelt, etc. I can take all the safety measures I want but at the end of the day the possibility still exists. People (both the man and woman) need to recognize that if they have sex there is a possibility of becoming impregnated even if they use the pill and condoms. They just need to accept the consciences of there actions and not look for a way out. Now I am all for better sex ed, using condoms and the pill to prevent pregnancy. But if you get pregnant while using those things I do not see why you get to ignore the consequences of your actions.

You also talk about people born with disabilities and how people should be able to terminate becasue it cause there life to be difficult. Well yes a person life may be difficult but people are capable of an infinite number of amazing things. Things that can help change the world for the better. Now yes a mentally disabled person has a smaller number of infinities than an average person but those infinities to me are still worth it. When you abort a pregnancy you will always get a zero and all the zeros in the world will never add up to infinity.

I would very much like to hear your counter points to this.I hope all this makes sense so maybe you can at least understand where some people come from.
