So how can you be in favour of abortion when you might never have seen the light of day? How do you justify this?

you are all saying that you wouldn't conscious then. What a cop out! is that really the best justification you can come up with?

obviously there ARE exceptional circumstances e.g. incest, which i have not denied.
PS no I do not support the death penalty, smartass.

I'm curious as to what you would say about a woman that gets pregnant and is told if she tries to carry the baby, it will not only kill the unborn child, but herself as well. What if she already had children? Don't they need a mother more than she needs to uphold a pro-life position which will end with her and the baby dying? What about the woman that gets brutally raped and conceives? Should she be made to suffer the physical and emotional turmoil that would follow such an event? What if it was your wife, daughter, sister, mother? The problem is there is no black or white when it comes to abortion. There are many grey areas that pro-lifers don't think about. Welcome to 2007, it's not the dark ages anymore.

because of closed minded people like you appear to be!
I very much agree that abortion is used too much as a "contraceptive". If you do not want a baby if you are a stable sexual relationship with someone you should take methods to prevent it, i.e. the pill, condoms etc
But abortion in some cases is justified,
Rape being a big one.
there have been cases where it has been found that the "bun in the oven" is wrong and it is in the interest of the mothers health and the baby's future quality of life are at stake.
Its a personal choice!

How can you know what it means to be a woman in a very bad situation? Don't judge. There have always been abortions. There will always be abortions. I am old enough to remember what it was like before Roe v Wade in the United States. My older sister had a friend who used a coat hanger. She lived, but it had a devastating effect on her.
What if your mom had a miscarriage? Did you know that at least one quarter of pregnancies end in miscarriage? Does God cause that to happen? If so, then he is the biggest abortionist in the world.

And I wouldn't know about it. So what? It would have been HER choice to make - NOBODY else's. I was actually NAMED after my mother's friend, who DIED because of a botched, self-administered abortion, because she COULDN'T have a safe, legal one.
I am in favor of CHOICE, not abortion. Pregnant women are NOT government property OR second-class citizens. Those who consider abortion to be wrong have the right to CHOOSE not to have one. They can thank a Pro-Choicer for that. As the Supreme Court acknowledged in PP v. Casey, WITHOUT Roe, the US government could easily FORCE abortions on women, just like the Chinese government does to its women, who do NOT have reproductive rights. Do some research - the US government has a history of preventing the birth of those it considers potentially troublesome.

If my parents hadn't had sex at that precise moment, I wouldn't be here, either. If they had used contraceptives, ditto. There are so many things that would have prevented my existence.
I'm pretty sure that you object to abortion on moral grounds. Yet, your question doesn't say anything about morality, just existence vs. non-existence. It's a pretty lame argument.

Edit: Erm... do you actually read the answers? Abstinence prevents people from being born. By your logic, we should ban abstinence. ...Actually, so that all 'possible' humans could be born, we should harvest all human eggs and sperm cells and let them grow in a huge lab. There would be like a trillion babies born every day.

Well,If I had been aborted,I wouldn't be thinking about this erm,ah hm er well about this.I am a pro life person,to a certain extent.I don't believe in abortion as just another means of contraception but,as a man,I cannot tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her own body.I would therefore leave it up to her and hope that she used good judgment.

pro choice not pro abortion
and if it had been the best thing for my mum at the time I wouldn't have blamed her.
If hitlers mother had had an abortion he would never have seen the light of day either
(I bet you're pro death penalty)

my mother done so with my sibling and she has my love and support for her decision ....
she was raped by an abusive partner and had to escape for her life and for ours .... only to find herself homeless and pregnant with nothing more than the clothes we had on our back
sometimes the world isnt so black and white and neither should the cases for abortion be
and as the others have quite correctly pointed out ... it is pro choice
edit
of course it is PRO CHOICE ... otherwise I wouldnt have the 3 beautiful girls that I have
it is about allowing people to have choice

Well I don't suppose I'd mind much, seeing as I wouldn't exist and therefore wouldn't be able to have opinions or thoughts on such matters.

That's correct(!) and for a whole lot of individuals it would have been better if their mother would've taken that choice!
Plus if my mother had done that I wouldn't know, would I?
