Abortion is often defended from the perspective that a new life, a child, disrupts the patterns, hopes, and aspirations which preexisted this nascent human being. People have plans, they have lifestyles, they expect tomorrow to look something like today. When we introduce a new being into our lives, we introduce resistance, unexpected challenges, and unpredictability. A new child changes our lives beyond recognition. This is true, but not a truth we need to fear.
