Abortion... please don't flame!

[OUlioness01]

i'm very pro-life, but i don't feel that i have the right to dictate what other people do to their bodies. i cannot control lives. however, i do not believe in partial-birth abortion for any reason. why? as i understand it, partial-birth abortion is performed at a time when the fetus has a chance of surviving on its own outside the womb. i have not heard of many cases where a woman is faced with the chioce of either her baby or her life so late in a pregnancy. if the circumstances did work out in thos ecircumstances for me i would probably choose to attempt to save the baby if at all possible. however, i do not have the right and i cannot make that decision for someone else...it is a decision every woman has to make on her own and live with.

i have heard of the removal of a fetus who is already dead termed as abortion, but in my mind that is necessary surgery.

*edited to add that i fully support abortion in the case of incest or rape. no person should have to live with that burden.
