well, personally, i lean towards the pro-life side of the fence. lol...as all of my friends will say, they can't believe it bc i am so feminist and liberal in just about everything else. i guess every now and then my 9 years of catholic school shows.
i think that too many women use abortion as birth control. if you don't want to have a baby, then use some protection and some common sense! if you are sleeping with every guy in the neighborhood and find yourself pregnant, then you already made your choice. getting pregnant is a consequence of your actions.
now, i firmly believe that abortion in cases of rape and incest is perfectly fine. i know that if this ever happened to me, then there is NO WAY i could ever love the child. i know that sounds terrible (and i do love kids), but i can't imagine looking at the child and not remembering that awful night!!! as far as incest goes, i think that most cases involve younger women (like 10-18) and i don't think that they CHOSE to have sex with their relative, so i kind of see that in the same light as rape.
on a slightly side note, i think there is a misconception that all women who have abortions are perfectly happy with their choice. i know this is not true. one of my good friends had an abortion our senior year of college. she was in an abusive relationship- mostly mental, but abusive none the less- and finding out she was pregnant was the one thing that made her realize that she had to leave this man. she decided to have an abortion bc she knew that she couldn't take care of this child. after the procedure, she became a completely different person. before she was a total social butterfly and then she became completely opposite. she went home every weekend, nearly left school, dropped out of all of her activities, etc. etc. etc. even tho she knew that this was the best decision, it was by no means easy and it is something that she still has a hard time dealing with!!!
oh, and a friend of my mom's had an abortion in the 70s and she still cries on the anniversary of the abortion.
