Abortion is immoral because it is nothing less than the taking of a human life.
If that's not immoral enough for you, read on.
Abortion, except in cases of rape, is an abdication of personal responsibility.
In my opinion, if you're voluntarily engaging in sexual intercourse, and you become pregnant (no matter whether you took precautions or not), there is absolutely no moral justification for getting an abortion. You need to take responsibility for what you did and have the baby. It didn't ask to be conceived. But you conceived it. You’re now responsible for it. You can give it up for adoption after it's born (I don't approve of this either, because it's also a cop-out, but at least you're giving the child you so irresponsibly created a shot at life). But killing it is not the answer.
