Well, I'm glad that I decided to click on this topic.

I have thought on this many times before, and I can see the issue from various stand points, which I will put out there then tell yall how I personally feel.

I do feel how some of you were saying how pro choice isn't necessarily pro abortion. That is true to an extent.

You can look at it in these ways:
1) The government says whether or not you can take someone's life (murder). Murder is illegal. Some can argue that an abortion is murder.

2) Abortion is not murder in that at the point an abortion is done, the child is still an embryo/fetus, and not "technically" a person

3) Abortion keeps unwanted children from being thrown away (litterally), abused and thrown through an overpopulated foster care system.

4) There are MANY families who cannot have children who would LOVE to take the babies

5) Many women think they can handle it, have the abortion, then are tormented and emotionally distraught the rest of their lives.

6) An abortion is a medical procedure and has risks involved. SHould your uteus become damaged in the procedure, you may not be able to have kids when you WANT to have them.

7) Its our bodies, we should be able to say what we do with them.

8) At 7-8 weeks, a fetus has a beating heart that is pumping blood through out its body.

Those are some of the more basic arguments. This is how I personally see the issue.

I am pro life. I feel that AS SOON as that sperm hits the egg, life begins. No matter how small, it is life (see #8). I know from personal experience how it feels to become pregnant and know that things in your life are not ready to receive a child. But, when you have sex you know what the risks are, you know what could happen (or should). And when you choose to lay down with someone, you accept the responsibility for that. I knew that when I chose to have sex what could happen. And when it did I accepted the responsibility of my actions. Case closed. Abortion wasn't even a thought. I love my daughter dearly and I can't even THINK about how my life would have been if I had gotten rid of her.

There was a documentary out where they inserted special cameras into a woman's uterus so they could film an abortion from the inside. When the knife came close to the baby, the baby visible shied away from the knife on several tries. The woman having the abortion wasn't allowed to see the video until it was over (the doctor could see it on a little screen), and the woman burst into tears. That really messed her up. At that young an age, the baby already knew how to fight to survive. And I'm sorry, but you will never catch me having one. I know too many who have and regret it with all their hearts.

As far as the government having the "right" to tell us what to do, that's their job, that's why they're the "government". Everything we can or cannot do is decided on by the government. The only say we really get is in deciding who is IN the government. They tell us everything to do, even things that are PERSONAL, like where you can smoke, or that you HAVE to wear clothes in public. These things are laws found to be in the best interest of the people by the representatives we elected. We don't live in a FREE country, or else we wouldn't have ANY laws. We live in an ordered country that we ordered, instead of just one person telling us what to do.

Besides which my religious beliefs don't coinside with abortion.
