I'm a little tricky.
Personally I'm pro-life. Having been through a stillbirth (I lost my firstborn, who was very much wanted, to unknown causes at 36 weeks) so I could never seek to do that. We've chosen to never have to go there-- there are nice surgical preventitive options.
Politically, however, I'm pro-choice. While I could never bear to seek an abortion I could never politically force this choice on another woman. I know there are times when it's the only decent option, and it needs to be rare but preserved.
(needless to say I'm a huge believer in responsible family planning, contraception, and ounces of prevention)

People should only use abortion as a last resort, not as a quick-fix.

Most pro-lifers (the ones actually standing and harassing outside of abortion clinics) are closed-minded about abortion.They seem to think abortion is for whores. That's the common misconception. It indeed is a last resort. For example, a girl in college that has a path that cannot be disrupted. One night she's at a friends house her friend has a couple friends over also. She starts talking to one of them and then one thing leads to another. A week later no period. She thinks that it's probably a few days late, no biggie. Another week goes by, still no period. She gets a little worried. She waits a few more days, nothing. She goes to the drugstore and gets five different pregnancy tests. They all say that she's pregnant. She goes to the doctor, says the same thing. Now she's freaking out. She's in college, she has a job lined up, but her plan has no room for a child. So what does she do? She looks up a local abortion clinic. She goes, someone consults her by telling her what it's going to be like before and after the procedure, and then asks her if she really would like to go through with it. She's sure.
She's not a whore. She just was having a little too much fun.

For this next comment I am imagining speaking through my first boyfriend, and yes this is part of the reason why he's an ex, although a lot more had to do with a lack of responsibility. He was however very much into Operation Life and marched on Washington for that.
"The woman above did not just have a little too much fun. She disobeyed the absolute word of God and is a whore by having sex outside of a sanctified marriage. "
Eww glad that part's over. Personally I'm not Christian and don't ascribe to that stuff. (I don't have a problem with whores/ sex workers/ prostitutes/ courtesans either).
However a lot of Christians do think that anyone who has sex outside marriage (and in some particularly conservative groups, even kissing or holding hands, any intimate contact whatsoever) is a whore. Nevermind that there is a definite double standard involved that is gender specific and that it's widely violated anyhow... but that is their official thought at least.

CrazieDoily They think way too much then. Actually I think that if they thought more, and more of their own original thoughts rather than 2000-year-old ruts of "one true ways" they'd be better off. I know some Christians who don't belong to a church and basically let the Golden Rule guide them and they're cool. But they also rhink, really think, instead of parroting what their pastor says to say. One of them is my midwife and she is really super cool.

I'm Pro-Choice.
I think Every women should have the choice to have an abortion.
Before you say anything about "oh it's so wrong you are murdering a child", you aren't. At the time of the abortion it's like ingredients to a cake, not the baked cake, so it is not a completed ,fully functional human.
Also, If it's against YOUR religion, It's exactly that, YOUR religion. Just because it's your religion, doesn't mean everyone practices that religion.
And my last point. What about rape victims? What about teenage pregnancies? What about someone with some medical problem who would die if they had a child? You cannot say that those people should HAVE to have that baby.

Yes, deciding to have a baby for the soul purpose of "not killing it" is pretty pointless. It's an even bigger responsibility than a DOG, and they are a significantly a big responsibility as well.

Personally I do not believe in killing a fetus without giving it a chance life, so I am against abortion.
However, I also do not believe in forcing my opinions on others, therefore I am pro-choice.

slam-skull Personally I do not believe in killing a fetus without giving it a chance life, so I am against abortion. However, I also do not believe in forcing my opinions on others, therefore I am pro-choice. I agree with you. I think that's the best way to see something as controversial as abortion if you're personally against it. I don't even want to imagine what it would be like if I had to make a decision like that... but the choice, the decision, should be available for people to make.
