If we say it's okay to abort non-autistic fetuses for whatever reason, but say it's wrong to abort autistic ones, we are the worst kind of hypocrites. Either abortions are right, or they are wrong. Personally I very strongly believe that abortions are murder, no matter what the reason is. Because fetuses are human beings (and even pro-abortion doctors haven't been able to refute this).

The part in bold I disagree wholeheartedly with. But then, I never see anything at all as exclusively right/wrong. (I see doing so as a form of prejudice)

My personal view on abortion is this: (the first sentence could possibly, in rare individual cases, have exceptions)

If a child was not intended in the first place, then abortion is perfectly fine. If a child was intended, abortion should, possibly with a few exceptions for *extreme* conditions, not be used as a means of controlling the child's characteristics.

A pretty simple view that defines when abortion generally is and isn't ok without being hypocritical nor stating that it is always right or wrong. As you see, AFF could be neutral towards abortion as a whole, by presenting something like "Abortion should not be used as a means of controlling children's characteristics.".
