I believe that as soon as you consent to sex, you are accepting the possible risks. Pregnancy is one of these risks. Women are built so that they can carry a child to term, and there are so many changes that occur both physically and emotionally. You seem to be a strong person; why should you not be able to deal with something that much weaker women have had to deal with? I don't think that having to accept consequences of our decisions and actions (action: I have sex, possible consequence: I get pregnant) is forcing someone to do something.
Absolutely, if I didn't want children. No life is being terminated.
I hope none of this was offensive. I do think it is possible for people's opinions and beliefs to change, but only when confronted with hard evidence or when facing the situation themself, and possibly by seeing another close to them go through the situation.

for some people religious reasons may be valid but not for me. Just b/c if I had gotten pregnant and had an abortion does not mean I am weak. I am strong enough to know what I can handle and what I can't and having a child in college is not something I could handle and I would never judge another woman to be weak if they chose to terminate the pregnancy.
for all of those that are against abortion are you going to adopt children to eliminate or at least decrease the number of children in orphanages (especially minority babies)? If the answer is no then maybe you should re-think your stance.
