there is legitimacy to having an abortion - rape, incest, health issues and just a plain old accident. usually those people who have incurred one of the above are responsible adults who ended up in a bad situation and i agree, if you don't want or can't take care of a kid, then you should have the right to terminate the pregnancy.
by the same token, you have more who abuse the system and spead their legs and don't use protection making abortion a viable alternative. those type of people are irresponsible, have no direction in life and more often than not, live off a system WE have given them.
abortion is not evil, it's not bad if responsible people make the right decision early enough on and don't make a habit of getting hit with a vacuum every year.
what people should be angry with are those who abuse they system and use abortion as a contraception. i am all for keeping my rights to have one if i need to available for me. it is my right and i know if ever in that situation, i would do what was right for me because when it comes down to it, i would be the one to have to make one of the most difficult decisions of my life.
by the same token, i am for banning late term abotions except in the case of incest, rape, health issues. if a woman is going to die or suffer mental anguish beyond repair (andrea yates) then the pregnancy should be terminated, period.
now being that decisions are being made for us, and not by the average person who lives the average daily life, a better strategy should be in place to determine who would receive a later term abortion. the average woman who decides in her 7th month that she doesn't want the child should be made to have it because there was ample enough time to make the right decision. the woman who was raped or is deemed could die because of having a child should be eligible because of the sever mental risks associated post partum or the fact that death could be imminent.
all of you who say women should have the right because she is a woman or those who say abortion is bad and cannot come up with any logical reason why it is. should really take a step back and look at this objectively.
i am a woman and i should have the right and that right should be given to me based on responsibility, for contraception is only as effective as the manufacturers make it. those who choose to abuse they system deserve what they get.
