It's all just to make sure that women remember their place. I personally, while very very pro choice think viability should be the thing. And I feel that on both ends of the spectrum. If the baby wouldn't live outside the womb (presumably anything before 3rd trimester), then the abortion should be fine. I also think that any baby that is born before the 3rd trimester is a miscarriage and shouldn't be taxpayer funded. Where my pro-choice'ness really kicks in is there are times in the 3rd trimester that a woman should still be allowed to have the abortion. And that decision needs to be between the woman and her doctor, not a bunch of middle age men who have never been pregnant but don't ever have to admit to the number of times they've gotten somebody pregnant.
If, in the odd case that a perfectly healthy woman with a healthy pregnancy gets to the 3rd trimester and then wants an abortion, I'd definitely counsel for adoption in that case. Somebody would want that baby and she could eliminate the pregnancy without eliminating the baby, as long as someone is willing to pay the exhorbitant preemy hospital bills.
But for dog's sake, quit cramming your religion down my throat! I've never had an abortion, and at this point in my life I think I can say with confidence that I never will, but since the only argument is sin, then you have no argument! Move to an officially Christian country if you want to live that way. But quit trying to ruin America just so you can live a fantasy where all babies are born healthy and happy with 2 parents of opposite genders, where the dad has a job that makes plenty of money and the mom stays home and drives a minivan. That world gets to exist for a precious few and no amount of legislation is going to make it real for the rest.
