Abortion is muder.
The child feels the pain. You can see it screaming in films etc. Silent scream.
I dare you to google image abortion. Horrific
Don't believe everything you see in the movies, Goudy. A fetus is not a child (it's not even a baby until it's born) anymore than an egg is a chicken. Induced abortions are done early in the stage of pregnancy unless it's an exceptional case where it's necessary in order to save the mother's life like Leafy has pointed out. At that stage, the developing embryo does have some limited capacity of perception and sensation but nothing that is the equivalent of an individual's.
People who say abortion is evil and should be outlawed aren't going to support the child once it's born or even care what happens to it from then on - it's just their point of view that is important to them and they let it override the fact that having a child is a lifelong commitment and the most demanding and draining one at that. When you say people shouldn't abort just because you are empathizing with the unborn embryo, I'm tempted to ask how you feel after the child is born. If the parents can't afford to raise it for whatever reason, would you step in and help out financially or in other ways? Of course not.
People should be more concerned about all the orphans out there who have already been born and help out, rather than dictate or worry about what a woman can and cannot do with the unborn inside her. By default the majority of us don't want to terminate pregnancies, but in a lot of cases the woman gets pregnant at a time that doesn't suit her for whatever reason. If so, she has every right to make that decision.
