Pro-Life for myself. As for society, I'll go with whatever the law is. I'm not too hard-core on this one.

I'm pro choice. It boils down to a woman's right to choose - I might not agree with that decision, but that does not give me the right to dictate what kinds of decisions she should make for her body. Just because I do not agree with something, does not mean that it should be banned, or legislated against.

That is a problem America seems to have - people will not let others live their own lives. If someone doesn't agree - it seems like they view their only option is to legislate and oppress. It is not your life to live.

I am pro-choice. Why should the gov't legislate a religious element? What happened to separation of church and state?

The decision to have the baby should be decided solely between the women, their partners, and doctors.

For the same reason I can't kill skoorbaby if she cries; she's a human being. Pro-lifers see the fetus as a real entity and not some glob of tissue.

I'm mostly pro-life for the simple reason that whether a baby is behind a uterus and belly fat or not doesn't change the essential fact that it's still a human being. Anyway I have to go to bed now.

pro choice even though I think its morally wrong to get an abortion because you were irresponsible enough to have a kid (rape, incest and the health of the mother not withstanding)

Ah - but the situations are rarely as simplistic as that.

1st trimester yes(This is not a baby, this is a mass of cells. This would be similar to aborting your arm or your eye.)
2nd trimester...eh (Gets iffy in here. If it was not the mothers choice to have it, aka rape or incest, or if it will be detrimental to the mother's health, aka early teen mother, go for it. Otherwise you f*cked up, live with it. "But the condom broke, not my fault." Whaaaaaaambulance. You chose to have sex, you accepted the risks however small they were at the time. Similar to playing Russian roulette with a ten-thousand chambered gun.)
3rd trimester no (read murder)
