This topic is extremely controversial, and i am going to try and stay out of it for the most part. I dislike getting between rights like these. I will say that although in many parts of the world, abortion nullifies a child's living rights....however, in most of these societies, a fetus can be a beneficiary. As an example, if the father were to die and they had life insurance, the fetus could receive that compensation. I don't know all details pertaining to the matter, but this is my understanding.
I honestly don't know where to draw a line- if to draw a line on the matter of abortion. I have done studies on development of vertebrates, and there's just is no clear line to draw IMO. In some cases, I honestly think if you're stupid enough to get pregnant, you should deal with the consequences. Eugenics is an interesting matter, but i think it should be taken with a grain of salt. For instance, if you can't afford medicare for children with congenital anomalies, you should be able to receive funds/programs from the government and things should work out that way.
If i had to apply an "oops" occurring for me at any point in time, I would honestly prefer to just raise the kid. It would be me and my partner's mistake, and sometimes you should just live with the choices you make. I don't believe life should have a "rewind" button for "later" -or never.
