With a team of Czech colleagues, David enrolled 220 of the women who were twice denied the abortion they sought and 220 women who never pursued an abortion. For the next 35 years, he followed their children, making regular inquiries and comparisons between the two groups.

The first results examined the children at age 9. David reported that the children born of unwanted pregnancies had significant disadvantages. They were breast-fed for shorter periods; were slightly but consistently overweight; had more instances of acute illness and lower grades in Czech. They seemed less capable in socially demanding situations; they were less popular among peers and teachers and even, if sons, with their own mothers. David concluded that “the child of a woman denied abortion appears to be born into a potentially handicapping situation.”

In the course of interviewing the mothers about their children, David’s research suggested that whether the mother wanted the child was a significant predictor of the child’s future negative qualities, independent of the effect of the mother’s personality.

No, my argument is and always was that no child is always better than unwanted child.

Lifes hard=kill yourself

Now that's some progressive logic. I guess when you're not a fetus and old enough to decide for yourself that it's better to live. Rather than having someone else decide that your life will be to hard and death would be far better than life. If progressives followed their own logic the world population wouldn't be where it is.

Oh no, I have to work hard in order to get something... WHY LIVE! Silly progressive, LIFE is always worth living!

Until a baby has developed a brain, it is just a tumor in a woman uterus.
And there's a big difference between suicide and never being born: in one case you can't regret anything. Are you against masturbation also? Or do you harvest all your semen and give it to some sperm bank as to not waste potential lives?

It isn't just one life. You have to also consider mother.

Start talking about how to make women not want/need to have abortions (e.g. sex ed, social support) maybe you will be taken seriously when you also bring up abortions. As such, it is easy to make ideological statements when you have no skin in the game.

Just so you all know, I think a woman that was raped and wanted an abortion is up to her. However in saying that I think there's a certain amount of time to get it done. I DO NOT support late term abortions PERIOD! Only in very dire life threatening need should that EVER be done.

But it's a tumor that is growing into life, putting it that way. Sperm is just a seed that can only produce life when a female egg is fertilized. It's like having half the recipe to make something. Or to put it this way, If an atom were missing protons,neutron or electrons it wouldn't be an atom anymore. So As long as my seed doesn't fertilize and egg it's isn't growing a living being.
