I'm pro-choice, although I would not have an abortion myself.. I believe that the woman should be able to choose, and I also believe there's a difference between a fetus and a child. There's too many unwanted children to bring more unwanted ones into the world. Please don't attack anyone and be open to other's opinions. :)

I'm pro-choice. No woman should be forced to go through with having a baby if it's something they don't want. It's their body.
I would never choose an abortion for myself because I don't think I could live with it (I was raised Catholic), but I would never look down on anyone else for getting one.
The one exception to that is that I can't stand women that use it as a form of birth control. My exboyfriend's sister has had something like 9 and she's only 26. It sickens me.

I agree with you 100%.
Some women just look at abortions too in general.
I have friends that made the decision on having the procedure done...but none of these people that disagree understand or have been in their shoes....I wouldn't want to carry a baby for 9 months and then give it up....
I agree that a woman shouldn't use it as birth control....i mean once is already too many times....so why not use protection the next time!

I would like to be able to have the choice.
I have 2 boys one of which has special needs and he's lovely but if I was told during a pregnancy that another child would be severely impared then I would consider a termination, because life can be so hard.
My other time to consider an abortion would be if you were raped. Some people are not capable of looking after themselves properly and if they recognise this and do not feel able to look after a baby then that is their choice.
I do not think abortion or the morning after pill should be used as a form of contraception. People have to be responsible for their actions but accidents do happen.

i dont believe in abortions for mistakes ,if a girl is raped or incest is involved then i think she could get special permission or if her health were at risk or the baby was extreamly handicapped with no chance at knowing its mothers love then in certain circumstances makeing it harder yes otherwise have the baby and put up for adoption,many people want children badly.no reason to make a baby suffer and kill it because 2 people couldnt be bothered to use birth control ,live with the consequences of what you do ,something as important as life shouldnt be wiped away because it inconvients you
