that having been said...
The moment the sperm penetrates the egg, the miracle of life has begun. who are we to decide whether to destroy that miracle?
Ok, so the mother cannot support the babys well-being, and can not care for it, or otherwise does not want it. Let that life-to-be experience life; whats wrong with adoption?

I do not view adoption as a bad thing. Again, I will say that abortion should be legal, safe, and rare.
Rare in the sense that it should be used as a last resort. Adoption should always be tried before abortion. In some cases, for instance, a mother at the age of 12, abortion is the only safe option. Birth is very dangerous, and if a child of that age has a baby, she could very easily die during birth. Whenever possible, the woman should always consider every other option before choosing abortion. Every woman in this country has every right to choose what she does with her body (which her embryo is at the time. An embryo is not a person, a woman is not an incubator), abortion being one of those rights. It may not be very desireable, but she has that right. I do not think any abortions should happen after the first trimester, except for the very rare cases of hydrocephalus, where there is a very large accumulation of spinal fluids and water on the baby's brain. When that happens, generally a baby will live for roughly one week and will only feel pain. That is the only scenario that I view partial birth and late term abortion to be okay. It's like this: if you have a horse with a broken leg, and you really love that horse, are you going to let it suffer for the last few days of it's life, or are you going to shoot it to put it out of its misery?

Why should it be illegal? If it is legal and provided in a safe environment, it will be safe for someone who needs it. If it is illegal, it will still happen, but in very dangerous conditions. Would you rather let a woman have an abortion in a clinic where it is safe, or would you like her to get one in an alley with a coat hanger?

What do mean suicide should be legal? Assisted suicide? Just plain ole' suicide? Assisted suicide was legal here in Oregon, after voters passed it twice, but John Ashcroft overturned it.
As for drugs, I think that only a few should be legal. Oh yeah, let's go legalize meth, heroin, cocaine, ecstacy.. oh yeah, let's just let people inject themselves with gasoline too.

The majority of all abortions are NOT the rare cases where it's a pregnant 12 y/o girl, or a mother risking death from childbirth, or that rape scenario.
So that means the majority of abortions is a woman and/or boyfriend doesn't want the kid, so they abort it.
Also, many (and i mean MANY) teenage girls (16 y/o upwards) have abortions to conceal the fact that they were pregnant. Many parents are the ones pushing the teens through it.
Given that you can't make something right by doing something wrong:
Is it right for a teenage girl to get pregnant?
Is it right for a married couple to have an abortion because they feel they are not ready for a child, whatever the reasoning may be?
