I agree with you that life is a "gift", but I think it is only so much so in the right circumstances. I see that you think rape is the only situation in which abortion can be justified, but I must disagree. Many pregnancies can be the result of a form of birth control failing; so in this case the couple would have been practising sex with contraception to prevent conception. When the couple discover that a baby has been conceived they may not want the child (because of issues such as being too young or not having enough money to support the child), else they would have been trying for a baby and not using contraception. I think a couple in these circumstances have just reason for an abortion, as it is in the best interest of the child and the parents; at the end of the day it is their choice. Did you think about cases such as where the mother can undergo complications during the months of carrying the child? If it is life threatening, should an abortion be justified in your opinion?
