I'm sure most people have some kind of moral compass when they state their opinions on the matter, but what drives that compass? Why do some consider it immoral to have an abortion?

There has been very little discussion of morals from the pro-choice side, the argument is completely about whether or not a fetus is living, then comparing it to animals, then posting a lame picture. What drives the pro-choice compass? Im completely for the 'tough luck kiddo' mentality. The term 'accidental pregnancy' should not be involved with the term 'abortion' what-so-ever. The fact that I have seen my daughter as a past fetus and heard her heart beat as well as ultrasounds drives my moral compass. Unfan, the firecracker thing is more than less irrelevant in the fact that there is no alternative means after the action. There is no decision to be made and there is no safe alternative. If you want it to be relevant, I'd say you shouldn't have played with fire kiddo, or you'll bet burned.
