Let me clarify my feelings on abortion

I don't think I said that right. I'm not necessarily for abortion, I'd rather be against it than for it. However, I'm not going to go on the record and say any woman that has an abortion is guilty of sin and murder. Maybe this is why so many women have such horrible feelings afterwards, that's all they hear. I think it's an individual thing and I don't want to make a judgment call for someone else. However, I don't think pulling a breathing baby capable of living on it's own volition and knocking the life out of it is the right thing to do. By then, the decision has been made and adoption would be the better solution. Nevertheless, when one sees the situation that some children have to be born in, you wonder if it would not have been better for them not to have been born. Some people do not deserve to be parents. I just don't think the answer is cut and dry or black and white. That's all I'm trying to say.
