Why I am Pro-Choice

[Emsworth]

The argument that abortions are justified because of a mother would have difficulty finding dates strikes me as exceptional and (if I might say so) unreasonable. I don't mean to sound condescending, but really: If a child has already been born, should the mother be allowed to kill him, on the grounds that she might not find a good date? I suppose that many people don't want to date those who have elderly parents to take care off, so I suppose this justifies killing off sick parents, too.

Although I am pro-choice, I have to say that this line of reasoning is not one that I find particularly compelling.

Of course a child shouldn't be killed after birth, I'm not migrendel. 

If you believe that a fetus is a living person, just like a child who has been born, then your argument about dating would be inconsistent.

If you believe that a fetus is not a living person, unlike a child who has been born, then your argument about dating would be redundant. The mere acceptance of the fact that the fetus is not a person would be sufficient justification for allowing abortion; resorting to a provocative line of reasoning such as "the fact that many men don't date women with kids justifies abortions" is entirely unnecessary.
