when most people talk about abortion they think about it fromt he church's point of view. Abortion is such a personal thing that theres no way it can be applied universally. maybe someone really shouldnt be having children ie mental handicappe dor disabled people who hae no choice, maybe some people just arent good parents or maybe someone just doesnt want the baby. theres just too many different circumstances for it to be either right or wrong.

one thing i will say for people who go with the catholic view that it is wrong.

Why is it wrong? because the Catholic church says so.........

why do they say so? because its a sin..............

why is it a sin? because its ending a life................ *which is very debatable)

why is ending a life a sin? because the catholic church say so...........

circular argument. it assumes wot it tries to prove so maybe the church isnt as solid a foundation for moral views as most would think.
