Abortion is a form of birth control and is simply a medical procedure that you can have if you accidentally become pregnant. If it's not, then what is it? Taking all of your emotions out of it, why wouldn't it be like taking tylenol for a headache? If someone is pregnant and doesn't want to be, why should they be forced to endure 9 months of torture for a child they didn't plan for or want?
But you are, you're saying that it shouldn't be taken lightly so that people have to take responsbility for their actions.

You both are calling for people to receive retribution for having sex and becoming pregnant.
