"Pro-Life", as it were, is very simple. If the woman's safety is in jeopardy, you may abort. If not, you may not. The long term problems the child may cause (such as the fact you simply don't have any money to support a child, nevermind yourself) are irrelevant. "Adoption exists for a reason, folks!" Eventually, there won't be people adopting as the birth rate increases, and then these forcibly-born children will simply die off. That doesn't matter, though. As long as they had a chance, right? What about when there's no more room for new people on Earth, but we're still birthing? What then? Eh, that last section is just me being a bit of a jerk. That's probably a long ways off, yet. Still, long-term effects should be thought of (not to such degree, of course. That would be absurd at this point in time). That's the main thing I don't see in these arguments is the longer-term effects. I'm not one who likes abortion at all, however I wouldn't consider myself a "pro-lifer" I just go with how I feel. I don't have a religion base, or a political base, either. I simply use what I feel is right, whether it goes for or against either side of the debate.
