I am a woman & I am basically anti-abotion but I beleive strongly in pro choice, I have miscarried 4 times (inc my sons twin) & had an abortion at 13 weeks after discovering he was trisome 18 (such babies don't usually even live long enough for you to know you;'re pregnant - so the degree of damage is severe). I also have a daughter 15.
So I think I do know about & been in positions on both sides of the "debate" - first hand not just theoretically.
Unless you are faced with certain situations you really can never know what you will do (not if you're honest & don't go around with closed eyes).
Why should a person carry a child to term if it is the result of a rape, if doing so will cause the death of the mother or if she chooses for her sake, her family's sake & for the sake of the baby not to bring a vegetable into the world & what right have self-rightreous narrow-minded bigots to interfere.
For those sane people out there - imagine these fanatics reaction if we tried to force them to do something because it was what we believed to be right - then they'd spout a different tune.
