Mncz: It seems very clear to me that you're making the right decision, not just for yourself, but for your future children. You've made the best of a bad situation, and it seems like you've grown in the process -- I think you're going to be creating better situations for yourself in the future. I know I don't know you, and I know this is about the third cliche in this paragraph, but: I'm happy for you.

Nelson: If your parents had not had sex, you would not have been born. Even if they had waited and had sex when they were older and married, you would not have been born -- a different sperm and a different egg would have produced a different baby, with different genes.

I'm sure, at 16, your mother considered not having sex. Would her abstinence have been wrong, because it would have prevented your existence? If not... why is abortion any different?
