Does anyone else feel this way?

On the topic of abortion you yourself are pro-life but not anti-choice. What I mean is you will do everything you can to stop someone from having an abortion but at the end of the day you realize it's their right to choose and don't want that choice taken away. I don't think abortion is a form of birth control and should not be allowed to be used that way but I also realize that mistakes are made. Now I think that someone who was not on birth control and did not use a condom should not be given one since they did nothing to try and prevent it in the first place, but someone who took precautions should be given the choice. Does anyone else feel this way or are you strictly pro-life or pro-choice.

    I am pro-choice, and my choice for me is life. I had my tubes tied 3 years ago, so when I found out I was pregnant in the beginning of this year, I almost had an abortion. I am 37, have 3 children ages 18,13,8. I had left my ex-husband a year ago of 13 years because I was finally ready to say "No more" to the beatings. But leaving him made me homeless, and work was so hard to come by that I wasn't working. I started dating someone and ended up pregnant because i didn't think I could get pregnant. I couldn't go through with it, things did get better and am back in school now and due in Sept. But I think EVERYONE has the right to choice.

    I am pro choice. Which some say is pro abortion, either way doesn't matter. I don't think I ever would, but I have not been put in a situation to choose that. But I also would never want to take that choice away from another woman as well. I also agree with you, at the end of the day after everything is said and done it is her choice.

    But you have to think about it this way as well. If you took the choice away from someone who didn't use condoms or birth control what kind of parents are going to be in the world? You have some out there that probably wouldn't care, and would be crappy parents and might not take care of the kids. But then at the same time you could have some that would turn out to be the best parents in the world! But here is the question with this: do you want to take the chance to see which parents they would be? I sure wouldn't.

    So yes in a way I do believe it it a matter of pro life vrs pro choice, and it always will be that way. Now one thing I do not believe in is the government funding the abortions. Now yes I know I sounds hypocritical but I have recently found out more of how the goverment 'can' screw you. I lost my job, have 9 weeks until baby is here, full time college student. They don't care about bills or anything and hubby makes a few hundred a year over their limit. Anyway, not going into that, but there are some things the goverment should be more lenient on and something things they shouldn't back.

    i am very very pro life i do think that every one has a choice (to keep your baby or give it up for adoption) i know some people might say you have no idea how hard it can be but i do im pregnant and im going to keep the baby, i made the choice to have sex at 16 and now im going to become a mom at 17. i do believe that when you have an abortion you might as well of taken a hammer and beet a new born baby to death, and if you don't like that then realize that's all your doing when you have an abortion.

    I am Pro-Life and the reason is because I know a few people who had abortions and still are regretting it til this day they wish that they never went threw with it.

    I see it this way if you decide to have unprotected sex then you and your partner need to live with the consequences. Now if your Dr. advises for some reason to get one that there is no other Choice then By all means do it other wise DON'T DO IT but that's just me

    I am pro adoption.

    I think a lot of girls are just very very selfish.

    I understand some people can not afford it, are not ready, or are too young.

    But why doesn't anyone ever remember adoption exists?

    I think a lot of the people who get abortions very well know they could put their child up for adoption (and it would most likely get adopted, everyone wants babies) but they don't want to get attached after it being in their belly for 9 months.

    So they could rather just kill it.

    Out of convenience for them. So they don't have to be sad about their kid getting raised by a financial stable, better family.

    And ya, you don't want to know what I'd like to do to the idiots who are just too lazy to use birth control (most abortions) and then kill their babies because they are so immature and irresponsible.

    As much as people who get abortions might hate me for saying this, it's no secret that irresponsibility is the cause of almost all pregnancies that end up in abortions.

    But that's life. Nothin' we can do about it.
