Under 2% of abortions are done after 20 weeks, and there are some pretty strong restrictions on whether you can have them. I know that I would not be able to provide a child with Down's Syndrome with a happy life. I wouldn't. I'd be miserable, and consequently, they'd be miserable. I'd rather avoid bringing a life condemned to unhappiness into the world. Similarly, some conditions that entail suffering and premature death can only be diagnosed after 20 weeks.
And despite them being really emotionally effective, I try to avoid arguments that "they look just like humans". I mean, they do, but if the fetus
is unaware of its own existence and unable to feel pain, then that is a stronger argument for me.
I think we're just gonna have to agree to disagree, especially with the aptness of the comparison with WW2 propaganda

I'm not saying folks don't abuse abortion. They certainly do. I know some folks who'd get pregnant every summer so they didn't have to deal with periods during beach season. Even to me, that's just... ew. The cases you mentioned are also pretty terrible. So much for folks being honest...

I'm not going to start a debate on wives with boyfriends, since I have some problems with monogamy being considered the only ethical/moral/natural choice.
But I will say this: I've had family members who were monogamous and had taken extreme care with contraception, and they got pregnant. An IUD got dislodged, a condom broke, antibiotics interfered with the pill... truth is, sometimes you get pregnant even when you've taken all precautions. I don't believe that's the case for everyone (or even the majority?) of folks going in for abortions, which is why I'm all for really comprehensive sex ed!
