If it is a good enough reason to act on why isn&#8217;t it a good enough reason to defend the action? You wouldn&#8217;t say, &#8220;HM, I think I&#8217;ll have an abortion today because I don&#8217;t believe the fetus has feelings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A few reasons women abort:<br \/>\n*I am not ready to be a parent.<br \/>\n*I don&#8217;t think I can afford it.<br \/>\n*I don&#8217;t have a supportive boyfriend\/husband.<br \/>\n*I had plans for my life that didn&#8217;t include a child(yet).<br \/>\n*Adoption would be hard to deal with.<br \/>\n*I am scared.<br \/>\n*I don&#8217;t want people to judge me.<\/p>\n<p>Is this because if we focused on these reasons we would be faced with finding solutions to the issues at hand and at the heart of the matter we simply don&#8217;t want to have to do that? &#8220;Easy way out&#8221; is best? (Even though many women can tell you it&#8217;s not that easy but by that time its too late)<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, Pro-Lifers are Pro-Lifers because we value all human life, we know people shouldn&#8217;t end an innocent life for any reason because it is unfair, immoral, and unjustifiable.
