Im kind of torn on this one myself... part of me says pro choice and part says pro life.

The pro choice part of me says dont bring a baby into a potenially poor situation or environment. I would be totally for it when it comes to pregnency from rape.

The pro life part says, if you dont wanna so the time, dont do the crime. Just because 2 people were careless and arent ready for it, why should that child be denied life due to their irresponsibility? There are always famillies looking to adopt ect ect... Obviously mistakes happen in some cases, failed contraceptives ect ect...

One thing that I dont like is the saying, "its a womans body, its her choice" Granted, a woman will be carrying the baby in her body, but does that make the mans contribution anyless valuable? I think the mans rights get put aside or forgot about.

My cousin is actually going through a HUGE ordeal with his ex trying to get custody of their child. She was going to put it up for adoption(and actually DID, the familly already had the child), without him knowing what was going on. So now that she finds out that he wants the child, she decides to take it back(nice how spite can bring a mother and child closer ) This has been going through the courts for a few months now and he can still only see his son with her present. This was even on the news up here... It gets me more upset everytime I think about it.

sorry for rambling....
