I go both ways when it comes to this topic.
I've always been Pro Choice for a variety of reasons. The main reason has always been that I do not believe it is anyone's right to tell me what to do with my body. But having friends and more experiences in my life (as opposed to when I was in high school)...I can clearly see that given the option, I do not think I PERSONALLY would ever have one. However I wouldn't look down on anyone who did. I just don't feel that abortion is a means to birth control.
I've had this similar conversation with my mom, who is also Pro Choice, and my father who is not. And the one thing I said that I think struck a pulse somewhere in my father was this:
Dad, imagine if I or my sister or mom were raped. How would you feel about that? Would that change your mind at all? And for someone who was very much Pro Life he sorta took it all in and I think saw my point. I mean, if any woman is raped why should she be expected to carry that baby to term if it causes her emotional heartache and scrutiny? Is that fair? Not in my eyes.
But once again, these are just my thoughts. People are free to disagree.
