Rainyday – Your entire post is extremely unclear to me. Are you suggesting that a woman who does not plan to have a child, yet decides to have that child and raises it is “selfish”? And you are arguing this against the decision of killing a child (or denying a child life) as being NOT selfish? Do you know any single moms? How about those single moms that are NOT on welfare, or living in poverty, or raising criminals? They do exist, and they deserve credit for what they have done, more so (IMO) than the woman who decided that her life was more important than that of her un-born baby, so did away with it.

Ken – Although my thoughts regarding abortion have absolutely nothing to do with the Bible (I’m absolutely NOT religious in any way), if you switch the word “Bible” with the word “Constitution” in the above statement, it is just as factual of a statement. The Constitution holds NO language to support abortion. It is merely “interpretation”, which, isn’t that the very argument you are making with your thoughts on the Bible?
I agree with the majority of posters here in that no one is apt to change their mind on this issue. However, discussion about abortion is extremely interesting and thought-provoking (when the insulting and cattiness stay at bay). For instance, I would like to understand the argument about letting abortion rights become a state decision. What reasons, or points, can be offered to prove that would be a bad thing?
