I have heard this basic statement before but I don't quite understand it. If your view is that a fetus is not a human being and therefore does not deserve rights and protection, then why should it matter if someone is using abortion as a form of birth control? Seems to me that it should be no more morally significant than having your tonsils removed.

I would rather see unwanted pregnancies terminated rather than the child be born and then neglected or abused.

Why are those the only two options? There are many people that would love to adopt a baby and provide it with a loving home.
