I completely agree with AggieAXO's stance on this. I am pro-choice. What choice would I make in that situation? Well it would depend on the situation. When I was in my 20's absolutely no way would I have even been able to handle a pregnancy, let alone a child. The older i get, the more I think I could and would have the child. But it is irresponsible to bring a child into this world that you are emotionally and financially unprepared for. I also believe strongly in a woman's right (a couple's right) to choose what is right for her own body.
That said, abortion is not a form of birth control and I am appalled that it is used as such by some people. Take responsibility for your own life and your own body, and if you cannot be mature enough to use birth control, you should not be having sex.
If this country went so far as to take away a woman's right to a lega l abortion-- what makes you think abortions would stop? They wouldn't, but instead women would go back to the "back-alley" and dangerous abortions they sought out before Roe v. Wade... And women would die.
Everyone is entitled to their view. But it is just that. Their view. Do not tell me what I can and cannot do with my body.
OK, getting down off my soapbox.
