I am very pro-choice, and believe that abortion should be legal. After all, this is the land of the free, right? I think if it were to be completely unconstitutional, that's starting to bring relgion into our government (as if we dont have enough issues with that now...) and that would just be a huge mess. However, I do think it should be carfeully regulated and women and men should be educated from a very young age that it is NOT a form of birth control-- it's a last ditch effort, basically. If families wish to raise their children with the ideals of their religion, then so be it. I do believe that the issue of the unborn child is important, but I think it should be up to the woman/people involved.
I was raped when I was 15 by a complete stranger. Luckily I didn't become pregnant, but I could have. Ever since then I have been pro-choice. I could have been a mother at 15, not able to provide anything for the child, not able to take care of myself, and not even finished my junior year of high school.
