What about the freedom to kill ANYONE that bugs us?
My freedom ends where your rights begin.
Abortion's a complex one . . .

Abortion could be included in freedom of choice with no problem. - Same way a guy has the freedom of choice to take a gun and commit murder. There is your answer to freedom of choice. My mum took freedom of choice, left home at 14 and lived in a hostel until I was born instead of having the abortion her parents pushed for. Good enough !!!!!

Freedom includes the choice to do anything. Just be prepared to pay the consequences of your choice. Is abortion a woman
'controling her body", or murder. That is something only the individual can decide.

Freedom of choice is all-encompassing. Note that choosing to break a law does not free you from taking responsibility for your actions, and suffering the consequences thereof.
As for abortion, yes, in my opinion freedom of choice protects a woman's right to seek and have an abortion.
Laws that prohibit women from getting abortions in cases of rape and incest violate her freedoms and rights, just as the rapist and male relative did.
No onein government, in my opinion, should have the right to dictate what I do to my body. They are hypocrites who believe that the American people should do as they say, not as they do. The Gov't should focus on regulating industries, not people.... Provide for safe, legal abortions, and stop bickering about whether a woman should be allowed to terminate a pregnancy, and under what circumstances.

Freedom of choice should include abortion. Making the right choice has little value when making the wrong choice isn't an option. History has shown time and again that you cannot successfully legislate morality. It must come from within.

Having freedom has obligations/responsibilities. It does not mean having freedom means you can kill someone because you like to or just have to do it, does it?
Getting yourself pregnant means having responsibilities...I don't think getting pregnant and then abort the fetus is a responsible thing to do. Or you abuse and/ or misuse freedom and what it stands for.
We are free to do things, but there is limit to it. Always do things in good faith. Otherwise, there is chaos in this world.

I believe that freedom of choice should included abortion BUT I believe that the father of that child if involved should also have a right on the decision making process since that child is also a part of him.
I use to be all for the mother because she is the one who has to carry the child and is usually the one who ends up with the child in a failed relationship.
But recently I had a cousin who killed her boyfriends baby because she already had 2 kids by a different father - - the boyfriend doesn't have any kids at all and he was very torn that she killed his baby - - their entire relationship ended and is over because of it!!

Yes it should but no we do not truly have freedom we live in a society and that curtails our freedoms. I could go on about the pros and cons of society but I won't.

If you were to take that stand can't I say freedom of choice should allow me to choose to kill someone? You should be able to choose anything that is legal. The battle over abortion and whether it is legal or moral is the true question.

Yes, I definitely think that freedom of choice should include the right to choose. Its your body, your child, your choice. Of course many people think that its a wrong thing to do. But that does not mean that it's still not the women's choice.
