Just wanted to prove that political diversity ain't dead. Remember, don't downvote for disagreements.

Abortion is not a moral hazard at all. Most people who might exist don't. The whole "everyone agrees abortion is awful..." shit is obnoxious. I legitimately do not care. I am far more concerned about the lives of actual children. Once we seriously tackle that issue, we can move upstream, and this should be viewed as both incentive and a purity test for those who pretend to care about the "unborn."

I am unsure about when it stops being moral to terminate a foetus/baby. I think it's somewhere between 6 and 14 months, but that's just my gut feeling. Some people are astonished that I would even consider that it could be after birth, but it's not like any sudden development occurs at the moment of birth.

It is always moral if the woman doesn't want the baby. Sometimes you don't even find out you're pregnant until it's 7 weeks or so

While I think this is mostly true, I think there are some potentially problematic "edge cases", for example do you think it would be moral for someone to abort all girls until they eventually have a boy?

I don't like that but I don't think they'd be nice to the girl if it was born either, so maybe it's for the best
