Too many variables to make this a two-choice black and white issue. Sorry.
Staunch pro-lifers want to make it a black and white issue and would have you believe there are no grey areas at all, the classic "you're either with us or against us" mentality.
It's great to be pro-life, and in principle that's basically what everyone should be. BUT, you nor anyone else should have the right to dictate to others what their choices should be. Fact is some people are going to seek abortions whether you or anyone likes it or not, and for that reason there has to be a caveat in the system that ensures those people will be looked after. Period.
It's a complicated issue, people will be arguing and cursing at one another and blowing up clinics long after we're all dead and gone I'm sure. But I do know that people should decide what is right for themselves and the members of their immediate family they are responsible for, but that's where it stops. Because, there ARE certain situations where abortion is if not warranted, at least understood when that course of action is chosen.
That's all I'm going to say about the issue. Agree, don't agree, whatever. Thankfully the law (at least where I am) sides with me. (for now)
