    Abortion is a horrible medical procedure when you think about it.

    Abortion could be a horrible medical procedure in rare cases, but in the vast majority It’s not. Nobody is aborting viable fetuses that are able to live on their own, except in very extreme cases where both the mother is going to die, and the child can’t be saved by out of womb care. In those cases, it is horrible, but necessary, and no one is willingly going through that. The vast majority of abortions involve a pill and a clump of cells.

    we are horrible people that make it necessary

    Abortions save lives. Many cases of abortion involve women who would die without one. Nature is the only ‘horrible’ thing that makes it necessary.

    Abortions also keep unwanted children from being born, which many would argue is a worse fate than being aborted. This one can be blamed mostly on the horrible state of the world, and the carelessness of people (I wouldn’t ever refer to anyone as horrible for simply going through with an abortion, and actually see it as a selfless and empathetic act in most cases). Again, these kind of voluntary abortions are never being performed anywhere near or after the point in time that the fetus could be considered a living being, though.
