I'm not going to read the 5 pages of responses that already exist and I'm quite sure my view on the situation has already been covered but that's too bad. :P
I personally think that no one has the right to decide whether or not someone should live so naturally I'm against abortion. While I do understand that having a child is a very trying experience both physically and mentally, I believe that if you aren't in a position where you can care for a baby, I still think that you have the moral obligation to complete your pregnancy and then give the kid up for adoption. I realize that there are a lot of things one could say in response to this like 'Oh but you'd become emotionally attached.' or 'Who knows what kind of home they'd be put into.' and so on, but really, if you're even considering killing another human being [which is what abortion really is], do you really think those two aforementioned arguments are the slightest bit valid? I'd also like to say 'Well it was your own actions that got you in this predicament.' [ie. unprotected sex and whatnot] but that kind of a statement fails to acknowledge the prevalence of rape and other bad stuff like that. =/

In the past I could say "Yes." without a second's hesitation as being alone gives one time to think and reflect on various things that might be going on in their lives. It's also quite relaxing and peaceful. But lately, I've been dealing with the old question of "What is death and what happens to us after death?" and I've come to realize that my biggest fear regarding dying is becoming alone for the rest of eternity. Sooo right now.. I'ma say 'No. I don't like to be alone.' I'd spill my thoughts on the 'death' issue but that would be off topic.
