Why the abortion wars? My thought has always been, "Not so nice, especially for the baby, but not my business," and, " I don't have the right to tell women what to do." 
But there might be more to this problem. The biological imperative is to reproduce, and we see in nature and countless frat parties, males frantically attempting to copulate and not only with women to fulfill their destiny. We see this imperative codified in religion, such as the “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it..." verse in Genesis.
Well, that ship has sailed. The earth is well-filled and, although global warming is a bit of a hitch, subdued. From my cockpit, I watch not one but seven personal watercraft go by and wonder how long before the River is chock full of these things, their numbers doubling every seven years, their collective wakes increasingly rocking my boat. I saw the number of oystermen increase dramatically every year, fathers passing on boats to their sons, licenses costing only $100/year, while the oyster harvest diminishes due to the effects of global warming. Enough of this nonsense! We just do not need so many babies, and if that means that contraception or abortion is some flavor of murder, so be it. Otherwise, overpopulation will kill us all.
