It's time for you to turn off the tube and leave Fantasyland behind. Your unshakable belief in people on TV was funny at first but even I don't laugh at real mental illness or retardation. I don't care who on TV CONFIRMED this little nugget for you - only the stupid could call this dumb opinion fact. It doesn't matter whether or not you believe the fetus suffers - even if that's true (and there's some question about it since the nerves of the fetus aren't fully formed), an abortion only takes a few minutes so the pain you say they have is would be over quickly and can't BEGIN to compare to the pain a live baby can suffer. Some babies born with diseases suffer for HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS before they can finally die that natural death of your's and anybody who has ever worked with these children can CONFIRM that for you.
Forget the people on TV. Having your picture made doesn't make you an authority on ANYTHING. It's just images and people on TV are just as stupid with the camera on as they are when it's off.

Can't you see the irony of this? What are YOU doing except deciding that everybody MUST live because YOU say so? You don't care that the mother doesn't want to bring her fetus to term, you want to FORCE her to make a baby she doesn't want to and then spend the next TWENTY YEARS of her life supporting the baby SHE didn't want to create.
You say you don't want to let a woman make her own choice to what happens to HER body and HER future and she should have thought of the consequences before she got pregnant. You say that all babies should be created no matter what the medical problems and all pregnancies should be brought to term - no matter what the doctors and parents think. You say all fetuses must be born and then they can die because someone on TV CONFIRMED that it doesn't necessarily bring as much pain as you might think. You say the woman carrying the fetus shouldn't be able to decide what happens now and should have to create the baby YOU want her to have because YOU don't like the idea of people deciding who is eligible to live and die.
But YOU are trying to decide who is eligible to live and die! The only difference is that you want everyone to live and she doesn't. Since it's her body, her fetus, her money, and her life that's at stake, I think HER vote outranks your's - especially since you'll be long gone once you ruin everything for her.
Who's right and who's wrong on the abortion issue itself isn't my point - what's funny is that you can't see just how hilariously hypocritical your sentence is!
