A lot of what I think has been stated already. Personally, I think that abortion as a means of birth control is wrong. And I think that I would have a hard time deciding to have an abortion for any reason. But, I have never been in a situation where I had to consider it. And, if I'm honest with myself, I would consider it in certain circumstances. Doubt I could go through with it, but I would consider it as an option.
When my mom was pregnant with my little sister, she was having a lot of unrelated medical problems that were seriously risking her life. The doctors tried to talk her into an abortion, and she wouldn't even consider it. She actually flatlined twice the night she had my sister, but they both made it through just fine in the long run.
It was dangerous for her to keep my sister. She had other children and her husband to consider, given the likelihood that she would have died, etc. I'm so happy that I have my sister now! But I'm also glad that that was a choice for her and my father to make. And no one else's.
When I was young, I was pro-life 'cause that's what I was suppossed to be, good church kid and all. But I get so frustrated with pro-lifers! Lately, they have rented these trucks the size of small U-Hauls and plastered images of aborted fetuses on them. They drive by my work like 5 times in one day. It's gross and I don't want to see it. And it's not changing my mind... in fact, it's making me feel more strongly that my pro-choice stance is right. <--- that was just my little rant about those stupid trucks. Sorry.
