I am personally anti-abortion, but am very much pro-choice.
The government should stay out of our personal lives.

Victoria, chickens are a far cry from humans!
I am against abortion, because it is the murder of innocent babies, in the humans' most innocent and unprotected stage of life, who are NOT part of the woman's body. The fetuses on up are separate human individuals with rights just like anyone else. The fetus is composed of the woman's egg and the male sperm - it has different DNA and is a growing, living person inside the woman, not part of the woman. If it was part of the woman it would not have different DNA or share the father's traits as well, and it would not grow into a person who has his/her own soul, characteristics, and personality.
On another note, abortions have been medically proven to harm the mother (some die, form medical conditions, become infertile, etc.) and some research has indicated that the babies suffer HORRIBLY before the die.
Abortion is murder, and can never be justified.
P.S., the government does have a role in regulating abortions, because people are obv. having them, and these innocent lives are being snuffed out by the millions. Please, if you or someone you know is having an abortion, do not do it (or persuade your acquaintance not to)!!

I'm pro-choice because I'm a scientist, and I can say that aborting in early stages is not really killing something that's unique yet, or that can feel pain. I'm not sure what I would do if I was pregnant, since I would have some moral concerns over abortion, but I really wouldn't want a baby, or want to subject a child to adoption. Chances are I would have one. I do not support late-term abortion because it is inhumane, and if you haven't had the abortion earlier... well... tough luck. Adoption. Changes in the case of mother's endangerment.
Bottom line, if there is a moral implication to abortion, the mother will deal with that implication in the end, if there is any. That's her choice. It's not the same at all as being a murderer, although it is a gray-area. You can't legislate this kind of thing.

I am 100% anti abortion but I am pro-choice. I just don't think the government should have that kind of control. I would set the limit at 3 months at the latest though.
I would never use that choice but I am not a 13 year old girl either or a 50 yr old woman for that matter.

I agree with Senior Citizen!!
It doesn't have anything to do with government regulation of a women's body!
If women took responsibility for what they do with their bodies this wouldn't be an issue at all!
Women have a choice when they choose to get pregnant!
Anyone with an IQ over 12 can figure out how to not get pregnant. Check it out!!
Women don't have the choice to kill someone because they were not being responsible with THEIR bodies.
I believe in abortion only in the case of rape, incest, or if having the baby will in danger the mothers life.
Life begins at conception!!
Women need to be responsible for what they do and not try to make themselves feel better about murder!!
Feel the Love!

Pro-choice is just a label that has strong connotation. I prefer to think of myself as sexually responsible. Good birth control practices would almost eliminate the need for pro choice, or any other variable. As far as the govt regulating a woman's body. Why would a woman provide the govm'nt access to her body anyway. It is important to understand that males use the pro choice argument as a way of maintaining control over females. As well, males think that reproduction will provide a complication for the female to make an intelligent decision from the available alternatives.

YES. While I don't believe that aborting an unborn child is right, I don't agree with someone telling me what I can & can't do with my body. Once they get their foot in the door, it's a whole line of other things they'll want to regulate.

Im pro-life a woman has a right to her body no lie there but once a baby is in it its not just her body anymore. But i believe it should be a state matter and the federal government should stay out of it.

I'm quite glad my birth control has never once failed me and I've never had to make this choice. And I hope I never do have to make that choice.
Problem is, a lot of people against a woman's right to abortion are also against contraception and against programs to help poor families while the pro-choice believe in contraception (preventing unwanted pregnancies) and programs that help low-income families. Go figure.

I am. I wouldn't choose to have an abortion, but if someone wanted to have on the government shouldn't be able to stop them. Its their body. They could at least have a panel of women making that decision, instead of a bunch of chauvinistic males

Say it again.
If the couple is not married. It's the females choice. If they are... It's the couples choice. There are many Americans having children out of wedlock these days... Most of those cases become a child support cases.
