Im pro-choice. The reason if you only live once, and you shouldnt have to throw it all away because you made a mistake.

Its selfish, but its true.

I'm neutral on this issue. I think the fact that abortions are legal give teens more of an incentive to have unprotected sex. On the other hand, I don't believe in bringing up children where they will place the burden on society or that will be raised in a poor environment...in which case I do support abortions.

I never said I was against abortion, just that I'm pro-life. Pro-life means that you're for life, the term is so vague that it really can mean anything. :laugh: :D

hear hear.

i am pro-choice, but after about the 15th week, it's murder as far as i'm concerned.

Anything later it becomes blurry. Thus pro-life.

consciousness comes at around the 24th week.

I'm for equal rights. When they start letting the father choose to have an abortion, I'll give in. As for a woman aborting a child that a man wants, I say nay. Same goes for a woman keeping a child a man doesnt want and then MAKING him be accountable for it.

Equal Rights FTW!!!

I'd consider myself pro-adoption. Seems to me a better option than abortion when there are many couples out there that are willing to adopt.

Having an abortion as a form of birth control to me is disgusting and immoral. Give it up for adoption.

Having an abortion due to pregnacy by rape or due to medical reasons to me is acceptable.

I've always thought pro-life and pro-choice were stupid terms... pro-abortion and anti-abortion make a lot more sense. But anti sounds bad, so they had to come up with a way to make it sound more positive. No idea why they chose pro-choice instead of pro-abortion.

Because in that scenario, the women are probably cheap dirtbags who are just looking for some child support money so she can spend it on cigarettes and booze while neglecting the child + welfare money.
