Please take the time to read the whole post. There is a lot in it and simply reading the first part is not enough.
For heaven's sake!
It's not a baby!
It's a bunch of cells! It's less than an organ!
It is NOT human!
It can't think.
It can't feel.
It can't see.
It can't move.
It can't sense pain.
It has no conscience.
It has no "organs".
It doesn't have any power of decision.
It has no opinion.
It has no awareness of what could happen.
It is a bunch of cells that are growing into something that will become organised after months!
It is a potential for human life, but it is not human life. You cannot force people to have a child.
But essentially, the moment it becomes a being, a "baby", something that is decently developped and can feel pain, can feel something, anything, then yes, it is murder.
But most abortions don't happen at that stage, and yes it is wasted potential, but it might just save a certain someone's life, or at least stop that person from living months of hell, and yes some use it to arrogant and even wrong means, getting rid of a nuisance, but essentially, it can be so useful to people who are just not ready to have one.
SO you kill him by chopping him up in his sleep. All because he was an inconvenience. Is that the right? Is that acceptable?
This is different. The grandpa will feel pain, terror and scream, it will be terrible, and mroe importantly, it's a being. It has feelings. You do not kill beings. But killing cells is something we do regularly anyway. You cannot comapre such a thing.
And about having a child after being raped at 14 years of age is terrible.
Each time you'll look at him/her, you'll remember being raped. You'll remember that you gave up a successful education, and possibly a successful life for this, and though you aren't a bad person, and aren't even considering getting rid of him/her (which would be atrocious), you will still remember those things, and when you look at a child and remember those memories again, you won't feel good. You will be extremely sad. And he/she may notice that and feel sad too, maybe even consider killing himself/herself (at the very worst of course).
To see your child and remember those memories is terrible. And if you would even consider such an option as "the right one", then you need a wake up call.
There's such a thing as doing not all that good things for the best, for your health, for your future, and removing such a future saves the baby the pain of such a life. And if there really is a heaven, then the child will be accepted there, and be much happier there.
Abortion is terrible. It's cruel, yes, but sometimes necessary, and can guarantee a good future for someone.
I would feel terrible having abortion, but it would be over, quickly, and would not hinder me or the child for years to come. it is sad, but it is for the best. And that's why it is always done early.
So there is no pain, and there was never even a chance of feeling pain, there was never a being.
Thank you for reading.

========================
On the other side though, you have other cases, ones that aren't all that tragic. Families who had an accident and just can't handle another child in an already too big family. Families who aren't ready, or aren't currently in a good situation that could be bad to the child and them. Those reasons can still be considered morally correct, but not to the extreme that is the worst scenarios.
And then you have those that just reject the baby, since it was an accident, and they just don't want a child at all. Not because they can't handle one economically, not because he/she'd have a bad life. Those are arrogant reasons. Ruining the potential for life for such petty reasons such as these is what really makes abortion seem bad.
Those are the wrong reasons. And though they may be the most common (don't really know), banning abortion, or even making it legeal for only specific cases (which will eventually be unfair anyway) ruins other lives. And think that for each "needed" abortion (those for the right reasons, those that should be taken), two lives are hindered. Not one.
Anyways, youch. My fingers hurt and I need to do some last minute homework.
Thank you for not quoting every single part of my post, that just makes the thread annoyingly longer.
BTW: Just to make the conversation slightly spicier, here are some facts:
In the United States, during the year 1999, there were 4 deaths due to legal abortion, 10 due to miscarriage, and 525 due to pregnancy-related reasons.
