Alcoholic who drink themselves into liver failure are refused liver transplants all the time in example. I believe that the criteria for abortion should be changed to being something beyond 'inconvenience'. Meeting women who are on their sixth termination because they 'can't remember' to take their oral contraceptive pills and won't get an IUD or implant or sterilization has perhaps made me jaded???

I understand how you feel. I think abortion for convenience is terrible. However, what do we do? Let's say a woman is pregnant and wants another abortion. Do we say, "No. You must have this child."? Essentially it's her body, does the state have the power to force her to give birth? Sadly, I'm more afraid of the government having that kind of power than I am of her personal decisions. She will answer for her choices in the judgment.

If a woman becomes pregnant and does not want to be pregnant but is otherwise healthy I absolutely resent that my tax dollars are used to terminate her pregnancy. I feel the government has no right to spend my money this way. That is also governmental abuse.

Agreed. I strongly disagree with tax dollars being used to fund abortions.
