I would never get an abortion unless I was raped or experiencing early signs of complications that could endagner my life, but that is my choice that I make. I don't think the government should have the right to tell me what I can or can't do with my own body. I may disapprove of, say, a friend of mine who wants to get an abortion, and I might even try to talk her out of it, but at the end of the day it should be her choice and no one else's.
I am referring to, of course, abortion as long as its done within the first trimester. I've heard of partial-birth abortion where the baby is killed seconds before it is born. THAT should be made illegal simply because at that point the baby is an actual person.
Another thing that makes me pro-choice is the fact that I don't want women to have to start using dangerous methods to lose the baby, such as metal coat hangers, or going to alleyway doctors who use dirty knives, where the mortality rate is very high, and many young women have died.
