I think this thread has shown that many people still harbor ignorant views of women's issues, abortion, and racist cultural opinions.

like if you're a spoiled brat that got pregnant and since you only care about your looks and yourself you get an abortion to keep your figure and continue to concentrate on yourself, then that's horrible.

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I'd argue that next to never does this actually happen and if you believe it to be true, it only shows that you're judging someone without actually knowing the full extent of a situation. You can't look on the outside of a situation and know what's happening on the inside. Even if it appears to you that someone is undergoing an abortion to "keep their figure", it doesn't necessarily mean that's the actual reason. And even if they were, so what? What gives you the right to determine what other people can and cannot do with their bodies?
This also shows that you have no pragmatic view of what abortion is or what happens when someone undergoes abortion. People speak about abortion as if a woman is going to a McDonalds to get a $1 menu, emotionless abortion. I know that at least in America, under the Hyde Amendment to the Roe vs. Wade ruling, tax money is not allowed to cover abortions which shifts the financial responsibility onto the the woman undergoing the procedure, which is a further slap in the face because most women undergoing abortion are women who have been victims of abuse in one of its various forms and lack the financial means to pay for an abortion, let alone a child. It's also a very painful procedure both physically and emotionally.
And again, I can mainly speak about politics related to abortion and women's issues in America because that's where I live and study but when we deny women their basic rights to birth control and then deny them the right to abortion, it's essentially holding a gun to their heads.
I don't even know how to begin on the statement of Indian males. Other than to say that what you've stated is incredibly ignorant, this is something you're going to need to research on your own (actually, you should probably research all of this on your own and re-evaluate your views).
I recommend to anyone who is seriously interested in the abortion "debate" to watch Lake of Fire.
