Abortions

Abortions. Just sit back and take a minute to think about that word. It has a pretty big meaning wouldn't you say? Well thats what i say, I say that the world we are living in could use some big changes. Like take abortions for example, I am totally and completley against them. I mean if you ask ten teenage girls what they think of aboritions, guareented 9 of them will say they are appropraite. I ask them why and they said because its my body i can do what i want and also i have no choice. I am too young to have a child. And my response to that is always, well you shouldn't have had sex! if you are to young to have a child than don't you think they are too young to have sex? And another thing, when they say they have no choice except to kill an innocent child, ummm hello there is a thing called adoptions! It kills me the way people don't see this. all they see is one choice and thats it! well its not the only choice! I just wish that this world could actually see what i see when i look out my window at night. I see that this world is going so far down hill, that i can't even see the skyline anymore. I think that the only way to get back up that hill, is to take control. Get up and make some changes. And if this sounds like its not doable, listen to this; I heard once that to make day to day changes in the world, just to one simple act of kindness. And thats all it takes. I know abortion is alot to change, but i truly believe that if people start doing once random act of kindness each day it will start to show, and with that we will be able to change the world!

So you are telling me that it is that little girl's fault that she got pregnant due to the fact that she was raped? She was raped because she grew up in a bad neighborhood. So because that little girl is pregnant, she has to put her body threw more hell? So I'm guessing if she does not get an abortion, she should walk through America being pregnant and being judged? Because if you see her on the street pregnant you are going to think, wow, her parents did not teach her not to have sex, you are going to judge her because she did not get an abortion. That is not fair! It is her body, NOT YOURS!!! It is a fetus. Did you know that children do not have the capacity to have real memories until after the age of 2?

Noone has the right to tell anyone what they can or cannot do their own personal body, i personally would never have an abortion, but I have NO RIGHT to tell anyone what they can or can't do!

I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but you mentioned that children don't have the capacity for memory until they are two. I was sort of wondering what your point was there. Does that mean that they aren't considered "human", "alive", or capable of being "murdered" until they are two?
I also don't understand the "it's a fetus" argument. "Fetus" is just another term for an baby when it's in a stage of growth. I fail to see any difference between a baby in a "fetus" stage and a baby in a "baby" stage. And if the argument is that it's perfectly moral to kill a baby if it's young enough (i.e. in an early enough stage of development), does that mean that it's more moral to kill a 10-month old than an 18-month old? This doesn't follow for me.

I'm not even going to engage in the argument, but I am going to request spaces between paragraphs. It makes for an easier read, and it makes your argument seem more plausible and less like a rant.
