Hello Retired Chief. A few thoughts in response. 1) If your mom had aborted you, she wouldn't be giving birth to "you" later on - you'd be dead. Her next pregnancy would be a different egg and sperm, no more you than a child born halfway around the world from you. 2) You didn't answer the question, "If you could go back in time and talk with your mother when she was pregnant with you, would you really try to convince her of her "right" to abort you?", knowing it would rob you of your entire life up to the point you were talking with her, and of your remaining years too. 3) You bring up valid issues - unwanted children, children growing up in bad circumstances, children who never get adopted, that could be much better dealt with than they currently are, but sorry, the moral and ethical answer isn't to deal with those issues by preemptively killing millions of unborn human lives. Most of those people you speak of aren't killing themselves - problems aside, most of them value their lives.
