Not from my perspective. Individual decisions are unique and personal, and circumstances such as rape or health issues could make abortion the primary choice. But then I look at the big picture and realize that 55 million abortions is one hell of a lot a potential people, many of whom could have contributed greatly to America. So many on the left would cheer this figure. I don’t at all.

Then go make more babies, what’s the problem?

Doesn’t make sense, unless you have the ability to say an unborn child - a fetus - 1 month? 3 months? six months? eight months … doesn’t matter to many…

Incorrect, we don’t have to specify the exact moment, mainly because there *is* no single moment when a non-person becomes a person. But that doesn’t mean it’s a person all the way down. See the sorites paradox.
