Abortion won’t destroy the world for the human race, or any other species, but overpopulation will. According to some experts the world already contains three times as many people as it can reliably support. So if someone doesn’t want a child or doesn’t think she can support a child, or love a child, or is afraid, or thinks she can better care for the children she already has by not having another, why is there so much clamor against abortion and not for all the children of the world? The poor, the starving, the dying, the diseased, the war torn? Mother them, and then tell me how and when and whether to be a mother. Why are corporations allowed to rape the environment and the global economy on which the family depends for survival, while you try to deny a woman the chance to claim her own life before choosing to give birth? Of course she should use contraceptives, or abstinence. Sometimes she doesn’t have a choice. Sometimes those fail. Abortion isn’t the answer for everyone, and it’s a last resort at best. In a perfect world abortion would never be necessary. But show me that perfect world before you tell me it’s not an option.
