abortion is (by authority of the woman who is pregnant, irregardless of how the father of the child feels) a doctor using a medical procedure to kill the unborn child in a pregnancy

DLG - go ahead, justify that for me please
It appears as though you may be stereotyping me. I wonder why you would do that.
A lot of people here, not all of course, are already aware of my views on abortion and why. I learned recently that there is more to the story. I may relate it if it seems appropriate.

What is the difference between regardless and irregardless? THAT is what I really want to know!!
7.62NATO,
The difference is ... Regardless is a word meaning "without regard" ... while Irregardless is
not a word.
If one were one were to try to define this non -word, it would mean "not without regard" ... ya know, that old double negative thing.
IRREGARDLESS is NOT a word. I think when many people use the non-word irregardless, they may mean to use irrespectve.
I still can't believe abortions are allowed without both parties consent. It takes two to make the kid after all. If you don't know that sex can lead to pregnancy, well, then I don't know if you're really young or just really stupid.
The only time I can see abortion being done is when it comes to saving the life of the mother. Especially if the chances of either the child or mother surviving is highly unlikely. If both lives are lost, then the tragedy cannot be imagined. This still comes down to a very personal decision of both parties.
Life is precious after all.
That being said, the two grey areas for abortion come from the situations of rape or incest.
For rape, the attacker most definately shouldn't have a say. It's such a traumatic experience for those attacked I can't even presume to imagine what they are experiencing.
Incest is just ugly. I don't know how to deal with this area of subject. Most of the time it falls under the rape category is my understanding. There are some serious health issues that can come with the children conceived in this matter.

It’s pretty obvious how I feel about abortion and don’t care who agrees with my views or not, but to me ALL abortions are murder, even in the case of a rape or incest. It’s never the child’s fault there is always adoption. An unborn baby is still an innocent human life, when did we become God?

It's a human life from the moment of conception. It may not look like much but it meets all the biological criteria to be considered a living creature. And it is human life.
Mama told me the whole story not long ago. The reason her parents were so adamant about an abortion was because she was raped. It was at a party. Her parents believed it would bring shame on the family. She doesn't know who my father is because there was more than one, five or six she thinks. She kept her eyes closed. She knew all of them.
She refused to allow the living being inside of her to be killed in spite of how it happened. She told me she has never had one single regret over her decision.
So that's why I'm here, alive, and not rotted away in some landfill somewhere.

How many rape victims have you met TR? I've unfortunately met several young ladies that were assaulted like DLG's mother, or were date raped, as I've worked in the one high school. The trauma, and how it's dealt with, is so different with each person you cannot make a blanket statement on how to handle the situation.
It's like dealing with soldiers who have seen active combat. Some have PTSD that is manageable (or apparently not there), and others are crippled by it. Humans are individual and unique beings that handle situations differently.
All that you can do is hope the victims have a strong family structure to support them, a good counselor to help deal with the trauma, and if they are lucky they may have a support group they can go to help deal with their feelings.
