I definitely think that abortion is used as an easy get out clause for men and woman who don't know how to have responsible sex. I personally do not agree with abortion for reasons other than rape, a life-threatening condition in the mother, extreme poverty whereby the welfare of the child is at risk or where either parent is deemed unfit to bring up a child. It is morally wrong to destroy an embryio (nothing to do with religion). If you don't want a baby then don't have unprotected sex. Simple.

I would also like to correct the OP and a couple of others who have implied that everything in the decision should revolve around the woman. It should, in most cases, be a decision that is undertaken jointly by both partners as they have both been responsible for the creation of the embryio and will be for its upbringing should the famale give birth.

Everything else in the replies I agree with.
