But the thing is Battier, leaving Roe v. Wade alone allows for women to make the personal choice. The women who don't want an abortion are free to have their babies. The women who do want an abortion are free to terminate their pregnancies. Reversing Roe v. Wade takes away that choice. The weighing of morals and the ability to make the choice to take responsiblity. And until there is a concensus in the US on this issue, the choice needs to be available.

Ultimately, it's none of my business to decide whether another woman has one or not either. However, I am entitled to the opinion that it's wrong to do so, am I not? Just as you are entitled to the opinion that abortions are fine and dandy.

Then you don't think it should be illegal?

sure it matters. you'd only be wrong if you said that it wasn't up to you to decide whether another woman had an abortion but said you wanted it to be illegal.

This is EXACTLY my point. I'm not saying you are wrong in what you feel is right for YOU but if you support taking away the right to choose (which you have avoided answering) then your opinion becomes much more than just an opinion. Especially if you would stand in line to vote down the right to choose.

Which I NEVER said I would vote down the right to choose. Even if I would, I couldn't. Not for another year and a half anyhow...But that's irrelevant. The only point you've shown throughout this thread is that you believe I'm wrong for having an opinion that's right for me - which I never said I'd push off on all the women of the world. I simply stated what I felt was right.

Sort of like you sitting here telling me I'm wrong, isn't it? That's not right, either.

I cant get past the fact if a kid is 6 or so months alive it can be legally killed, but once its been alive for 9 months or longer, its considered murder. Several months seperate a woman from exercising her individual rights to being a heinous murderer. That has always bothered me.

When I was attending Catholic school I was always pro life because I was taught to be. When I left the church I became pro-choice for reasons Im still unclear of, maybe it was the trendy thing to be when youre in college.

Anyhow, Im in my late 20s now, ditched all the propaganda from the church I was raised on, and thinking for myself these days I honestly deep down dont agree with abortion.

We don't have a "choice" over everything in our lives, including pregnancy. I can choose to do drugs, and mess my life up, and all Im really hurting is myself, but its my choice. When a woman chooses to have an abortion, shes making decisions for two parties, not just one. Its one thing for a parent to decide what cereal their kid can eat, and another to decide whether they can live or die.

The biggest group of people, to my knowledge, seeking abortions are those who irresponsibly had unprotected sex and dont want to be bothered with the inconvenience of raising a child. The majority isnt rape victims, leaky condomns, and other such instances.

If it comes between someones life and inconveniencing another, life wins hands down for me.

I think he's just trying to suss out if you're a hypocrite like a bunch of people who think like you are. Gladly, you're not

You should do some informed research, not just listen to religious institutions. The Alan Guttmacher Institute has some good, accurate information. Medical statistics show that over 90% of abortions are performed within the first trimester of pregnancy. Research also shows that most couples were using a method of contraception. Also, the huge majority of women who get abortions never have another one. Finally, there are only 2 places in the U.S. that perform later-term abortions, and those are almost always done in cases where the fetus would be born with painful, hideously deformed physical problems and would most likely die immediately upon birth.

Most people are terribly uninformed when it comes to abortion and listen to very biased, loud, hyper-emotional, illogical 'information' from so-called Right to Life.

I'd find it interesting to find out how the staunch pro-lifers feel about the morning after pill... Are they as against it as much as abortion?

In my experience, most pro-lifers I've come across act as aggressively towards their opposition to RU486 as they do to abortion. Preventing the egg from implanting itself on the uteran wall is just not the same thing as aborting a fetus. I can't see how anyone can be against this pill.
