well actually not really. The common thread is the right to choose. Parents have the right to choose to separate, regardless of the effect on the child. Likewise a potential parent should have the right to choose whether she wants a child or not.

This is not a matter of universal right or wrong. We all know that a divorce is a crappy thing. But it is left up to the couple involved whether they wanna make this crappy choice or not. This is because we accept their right to evaluate which is the lesser of two evils.

Likewise i think this acceptance should be lent to parents who want an abortion too. Only the concerned party is capable of evaluating whether an abortion is a better or worse choice than having the child.

Note: I would prefer a world with no divorce and no abortion. Both are lousy, horrible, traumatic, and downright miserable things to go through. But whoever goes through them or not should be allowed to choose their path without outside interference.. outside guidance yes.. but not outside interference
