I Am Pro Choice

I believe people have a right to choose how their life will play out. Although I love babies, and hope people can adapt to change I’ve seen how a baby changes someone’s life in both positive and negative ways.

I've never had an abortion and never would but I imagine having one can mess you up as well. It's not like getting a tooth pulled.

@FreeSpirit1 Yea, for me this view is quite personal because my sister having a baby at 18 ruined her career and her future because she married the guy and now it’s just problem after problem.

@FreeSpirit1 It probably isn’t something most women take lightly. But for some women, it’s also meant that [b]their[/b] lives weren’t ruined, for example, after being raped or having been the victim of incest as a child.

@bijouxbroussard yea for sure. this topic is hard to take a side on causes it’s dependant on the situation.

@Dariqueen I agree that it’s a personal decision between the woman involved and her doctor. No one else is going to carry the pregnancy or go through the delivery for her.

@bijouxbroussard this is so true. its her body.

@bijouxbroussard Definitely, and for some women it's the way to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy. Of the 900,000 abortions performed in a year I'm sure the number of rapes and incest pregnancies are very low.

@FreeSpirit1 But because [b]rape[/b] is underreported to begin with, there is no way to know that for certain. It actually is irrelevant, because if a woman doesn’t want to give birth, how safe is the child if she’s forced ?
