What if instead of presuming whether the children will hate their lives, we let them grow up to a certain age, say age 9, and then ask them if they hate their lives? If they say yes, kill them, if they say no, let them live. There is no moral difference between this solution and abortion if the fetus is a baby. If the fetus is not a baby then there is a moral difference though, so... I guess the real question is whether or not the fetus is a baby. My point is, any open-minded debate about abortion will always return to this question. As long as pro-abortion people ignore this question, they are talking past the pro-lifers and will never understand us.

> If they say yes, kill them, Instead, we let them kill themselves off in droves. 1.21 million attempted suicides per year in the US alone. I understand the pro-life POV quite well, I just have no respect for them when they drop off all support (aside from the occasional church donation) for children once they're outside the womb. I have no respect for those who value the life of a fetus (alive or dead) over that of the woman (miscarriages don't always clear themselves). And let's not count those who die from a lack of a blood donation, organ transplant, or postmortem organ donations - things a pro-life advocate could do themselves, but "that's totally different".
