With all due respect to your perspective, perhaps you can explain to me why people want to ban abortion, then want to cut public assistance to the mother, who can't afford the child?  Why then do they want to cut pre-school programs, Medicaid and all those other program that provide assistance to people that have babies they can't afford.

I think that before anyone gets so excited about protecting a fetus, they should consider the long term effects when a baby that is unwanted or can not be afforded.  Would you be in favor of state or federally funded orphanages to take care of unwanted babies once they are born?  Would you agree that we should be funding social programs to take care of these children? 

In my view, you (not you personally) can't impose your will to "save" a fetus, and then have society push it to the parents and say now "this is your problem" and there will be no public funds to help you.  It just doesn't make any sense. When someone finally tells me that we are going to force women to bear an unwanted child AND that we are going to publically take care of that child until he is of legal age, than I will agree that abortion should be banned.
