But having regulations is better than NOT having regulations, don't you think?

Whether or not you're going to be judged shouldn't be your main concern. Looking at the matter in those terms only is selfish. The point is, if I'm wrong about this, then millions of women suffer (though there are plenty of adoption agencies that are open to more babies, and I'm fine with raising taxes as much as is necessary to provide more support to single mothers). If you're wrong, then millions of babies die. Mass murder is far, far more grave an issue than that of some women's economic wellbeing. Quote:
What do you do with the insane, or the retarded? Still advanced, but less advanced, so do they deserve conditions of the same quality as the rest of humanity? Or what do you do with aged people who are getting senile or slow in the mind and rely on other people to take care of them? Do they deserve the same treatment as the rest of humanity? You open up the doors to a lot of disturbing questions if you allow the extermination of fetuses on the grounds that they don't fulfill your above requirements for value.
