And on that thought, if you do want one, the people who don't, themselves, want one should not be permissed to tell you that you can't because they wouldn't. Neither is it any less morally bankrupt to force women wanting abortions to seek them in unsafe, sub-par environments than it is to use abortion as a form of birth control. So, your options are clear; if you don't want one and don't believe it's ever right, don't have one. Let your neighbor make their own decisions; you wouldn't want to be forced to have them, would you? Why should you be able to force others not to?

I think it should be available under certain circumstances for instance when a Women gets pregnant after she was raped.

I think we should invest more effort in addressing the needs of the people who are already here. And, while it may suit the vindictive, shallow minds of the cruelly motivated to say things like "the parents should swallow the consequences" (Because unwilling parents are so wonderful, right? Many such children have just -dazzling- childhoods, don't they. No, they in fact, do not), it is a simple matter of fact that, while adoption may -also- be a viable recourse, so too is abortion.

And, if you don't want one, can't stand them and want nothing to do with them, never have one. There begins and ends the jurisdiction of your opinion's weight, and likewise mine own.

On an overall examinatory note, I recently took part in a large debate about this very topic, and the bulk majority of the "Pro-Life" contributors wound up admitting that the majority of their reasons for believing as they do were sourced more in their own fear of death than in anything else.

Which is to say, they felt very powerfully opposed to the idea that they, themselves, would someday day, and being reminded of their own mortality via death being made acceptable in any recourse (not just abortion) was not something they could stomach.

Is it just -ok- to let things die? Is it just -ok- to /kill/ someone? They're a person! (I'm a person!) You can't just -kill people-! (you can't just kill /me/!).

Funny how that works, innit? Just another stick for the pile. Cheers!
