All it comes down to is CHOICE. I don’t care about a woman’s personal decisions for having or not having an abortion, all that matters is that she has the right and the ability to make that choice for herself. I will never understand pro-lifers – it should be pro-responsibility. Men and women have a resposibility when they bring a child into this world and sometimes the most reponsible decision is to not have the baby. At the end of the day the pro-lifers are not going to help you raise your child or adopt them. Preserving the life that is already fully formed and a participating member of society is more important then one that (according to law) does not legally exist at conception. All I care about is that if I ever have to contemplate it, the choice is there for me to make and decide.

Excellent! Then we’re decided. You don’t have sex or an abortion, and I’ll make my own decisions for based on what’s best for me!

See how that works? Everyone gets to decide for their own self.

Because that’s the way it should be.

Accidents happen and timing may be wrong. It’s not fair to bring an unwanted child into the world when it cannot be cared for either monitarily or emotionally.

Abortion should NOT be used as a form of birth control, but there are times when it can be a reasonable option.

If I were raped, you cn be damn sure I would want the choice whether to carry that child or not. I was left with NO choice in the creation of the child, but I want the choice to decide to keep it or not. There is no way I would want to look into the kid’s face day in and day out and see my rapist. I understand some women may choose to keep the child, and that is their right.

If women lose the right to have an abortion, then Viagra should be outlawed. Why must women be the only sex with restrictions on what they can or can’t do with their bodies?

Aaargh: Actually, I´m a woman. It does take two but you realy have to think of who is left carrying the bundle. It´s your body, be careful how you use it.

Row v. Wade is how they determine whether or not Cuban refugees are allowed to stay.

Well in response to GTT’s comment, and I knew someone was going to bring up how abortion is either right or wrong, and I’m not going to say weather it is or not but obviously I’ve got to respond and say that it isn’t as black and white as “don’t have sex”. Some women don’t get a choice on the matter and they don’t want to look at the “concequence” and be forced to think about what may have been an awful (incestuous or forced) experience for the rest of their lives. My theory on abortion is that people who oppose it have a problem with women being sexually liberated; when they think about abortion, they think about what led to the pregnancy, and that’s what they have a problem with, in the end.

GTT –

And if you don’t want a kid, you shouldn’t have sex, either – even if you’re a man. It takes two! Fault is spread 50/50.

I love it when men comment on abortion. ::rolls eyes::

The child was put up for adoption and probably has no idea his mom was ‘Roe’. Norma McCorvey is now a pro-life/anti-abortion activist.

I know this is going to get me slammed into the wall but the truth is this: men and women were not created the same. Our bodies are different and it is the WOMEN who have to deal with the physical consequences of sex. We get pregnant, we give birth. If you are not prepared to face that consequence, then DONT HAVE SEX. I´m not die-hard pro-lifer but I really do believe that people do not stop to take measure of the consequences of their actions and then expect to have a quick fix once they get into trouble.
