Thank you for everything up until the last sentence which was stupid to add, good thing I can look past it. See what I am considering is that the child at some point IS alive...I think I like the idea of a brainwave better and if that is measurable then perhaps that should be a point for cutoff. Sure I agree about the organs and the blood donations, but those are not living things. A baby is not an object, nor a donation.

Currently I have a friend who just found out she is pregnant. She and her husband decided to have unprotected sex and decided there was no issue with seeing what the outcome of that was by not taking Plan B. They are a stable couple with good income and a nice home and were going to start trying soon. A couple weeks after having sex she then goes and drinks on two separate days. Now she finds out she is pregnant and is worried about how her alcohol consumption could affect the baby (she is an excessive worrier and exaggerator). Her husband wants a baby. However, she isn't taking into consideration what he wants, she just doesn't consider the situation to be perfect and wants an abortion. How is that fair to either him or the baby who is probably perfectly fine? Maybe if abortions weren't a free for all (I assume they are free in Canada) then people would be more responsible. It's common to hear the phrase "I'll just have an abortion" where I'm from. I'm NOT saying a woman shouldn't have a right to her own body, I'm just questioning if there should be some rights for the man and the unborn child at some point during the process.
