DP isn't a 'chat room' - although it seems that many here use it as such. It's a forum for debate using facts into.
I am not pro-abortion per-se, yet I am most definitely an advocate for women's rights. Women should have the right to decide what happens to their body, their lives and their futures. That right should be guaranteed under the law and never threatened by bible-carrying conservatives who use quotes from the scripture of their choice as their argument.
Russia has made headlines in the news many times for violations of human rights, particularly those of children. In Russia, when a baby is born with a birth defect or mental handicap they're literally abandoned by their mothers and handed over to the state where they're put into multi-cribbed rooms and often physically restrained and left in their own feces and urine for hours at a time. Then there's other countries where the birth rate is exploding despite not having enough food to feed this children so they waste away and die of starvation. If people aren't aware of this yet, dying of starvation is one of the most painful deaths anyone can suffer.
My point is, there is no God whether it be Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist that would intentionally create children that are missing arms or legs, have severe mental handicaps and other ailments just to let 'creation' come to fruition naturally. No god is that cruel, no god wants children to suffer, no god wants to create children that have no home, no mother, abandoned and left for the state to care for. If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, I do. I worked for my State Dept. of Mental Retardation when there was such a thing. They have changed the name of the department to be more politically correct. 'Dept of Development Services', but it's the same thing. I've worked with these kids, I've been attacked, bitten, hit and burned by young adults with development and emotional disabilities. I will always persist in my belief that abortion is the mother's choice. Sometime it's only her, alone with no family to give her any help that is left with a child that will alter the course of her entire life.
It's easy to sit at a computer and judge others from above it all, it's quite a different matter when personally faced with these choices. We have to put our feet into the shoes of others in order to be fair to them.
There's one more phenomena in Russia that nobody talks about. It's Russia's 'invisible children, those that have been abandoned and living on the streets in gangs or alone.

"Some even point out that child homelessness rates are the indicator of the level of national degeneration."
