So you care for the unborn child so much you want to put it through the experience of having parents that resent it? People won’t be nice parents just because you want them to be. We should look into the abuse angle because resentment often leads to abuse no? That is life. Some children scraped our knees, some children are abused, some fell off cliffs as a toddler because a parent wasn't watching closely. Things happen, bad things happen to children, even those that are loved. Sometimes even society (or governement) has to step in and remove that child from harm. Sometime that child grows up in foster homes and becomes a great painter, a great doctor or even a great parent. Who am I to take that child from his/her decree of destiny?? Who are you to? If someone isn't loved, are they therefore unfit to live? If a husband resents his wife, should she die? If you resent your boss, should you push him off the roof? Who are you to decide what a fetus's future will hold? Loved or resented, shit happens. Me, personally, I wouldn't have an abortion and would persuade anyone I know who is having to conciously decide such, from doing so. I think you need to be a bit more pragmatic about two things: 1) People enjoy sex, so will not stop having it. 2) People aren't going to make good parents just because they've been forced to be parents. In 2001 853,484 legal abortions were carried out in the US, that same year only 127,000 children were adopted. Putting aside the moral issues abortion is a fundamental necessity in society these days for society to function. There are far more potential parents these days than there ever where when it wasn't legal, so stopping it is unrealistic. I don't know why anyone worries that it'll happen, it never will because society couldn't cope. In the end your approach of forcing people to become parents will lead to more suffering than the abortion of foetuses with no self awareness. I suspect that in your world the levels of abuse would ultimately go up and no available adoptive parents would be found for cases where abuse was evident.
