I myself am pro-choice. I don't think anyone has a right to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body. With that said, I know myself I could never personally have an abortion but if some other woman wants to that is her right.

If I remember correctly (and those out there feel free to correct me if I am wrong, which I might be) but isn't partial-birth similiar to late term abortion? If so, I don't agree with late term abortions unless the mothers life is at risk. My feeling is that if you can't figure out that you are pregnant after 12 weeks than you are shit out of luck. Unfortunately, I live in a state where abortion is a contraversy because of so few providers and because stat's have shown women using abortion as a means of birth control. I don't agree with that.

My feeling is abortions should be not permitted once the fetus is viable (which means it can survive outside the womb, without the help of machines) it's called wait until the baby is born and give it up for adoption.

It seems from what I've read so far, we all have very mixed opinions on abortion.

I just want to remind everyone that this is a sensative topic, that we are all adults and we can discuss this rationally.

As I always say "agree with me, disagree with me, but please respect my opinion"
Well stated! (mainly because I agree with every word)
