One day there will be some logic thrown into the whole pro-life/pro-choice debate. I am pro-life, always will be, would never have an abortion. I don't judge my friends for their choices on this subject nor would I choose what I eat for lunch by how a person believes on this issue. I would respect a person for calling it what it actually is, an emotional issue instead of a political one.
A few points that seem obvious to me....
How can you say that abortion isn't used for birth control? Outside of rape and molestation (which don't account for most of the abortions each year) an abortion is simply that, birth control. I didn't want to have a baby, inconvenient time, too young, not enough money, whatever the reason..if it's not because of a traumatic event or medical reasons, an abortion is simply an afterthought to a condom. Period, no other way to put it. No 'my choice' about it, you are choosing to terminate a pregnancy after it happened instead of preventing one from happening.
Now for those who say a fetus has no rights except what the mother gives it, just plain hypcritical. By that logic, a woman who's two months pregnant and on crack has a perfect right to do so. In reality, this woman would be committing a crime. A person who kicks a pregnant woman in the stomach can be charged with not just assault, but attemtped murder. A person who kills a pregnant woman is talked of killing a pregnant woman and her baby. So which is it folks, a woman with some cells in her stomach or a woman carrying a child?
