Second of all I'd be dead so I wouldn't give a shit one way or another.
My ultimate stance on this is kind of mixed because it depends on the situation. In the case of rape let the woman do what she wants with HER body. It belongs to no one else but her so she has to right to do whatever she wants with the baby. What these "pro-lifers" are saying, the ones who think abortion is totally wrong regardless of the situation, is that if the woman gets raped and ends up being pregnant she's forced to have that baby and care for it OR she can put it up for adoption and let the kid live a life without knowing who his/her parents are. Imagine the kid's reaction when he/she finds out that he/she is the product of a serial rapist who has no interest in knowing or meeting him/her. It might even lead to the kid developing severe depression and ultimately committing suicide. Is that what these "pro-lifers" want? Who would want a child to grow up that way? It'd be more humane to abort the unborn child to keep him/her from growing up in such a shit way.
Now there's the complicated issue of the father wanting the child while the mother doesn't. If this were the situation my previous statement would become questionable as I would feel the father has a right to see the kid born if he is fully willing to raise the child on his own. If it's one of those situations where the father really wants the kid but the mother doesn't who gets the final say? This is what should be discussed not whether or not abortion is wrong. What's wrong is complete strangers wanting control over a woman's body. It's wrong and a bit scary to be honest.
