3) I am pro-choice. Unfortunately the fetus/potential baby doesn't have a choice , therefore it is society's duty to protect his rights to choose untill he is old enough to choose. As for the pregnant grown up - I support fully your choice for control over your life - I promise not to stop you from committing suicide. Killing the innocent unfortunately I don't believe is your choice.
4) I am so bored with the stereotype of the average abortion seeker - a 12 year old raped by her granddaddy and lives in a trailer park... it's not true. Most "patients" at an abortion clinic are in their late teens/ early twenties and from middle income homes. We all know that the poor love their kids.
5) Abortion is not an alternate to birth control. You know how to have sex, learn how to take birth control.
6) I totally disagree that it is the woman's choice, if she chooses to give birth she can force the father to pay support for the child. What sexist weirdness is this.
7) Being a Christian or not is not really the reason that people are against abortion, its strange that non-christians/pagans etc are all against murder, but I guess its easier to face the murder thats not reported.

A court today convicted a nurse of performing illegal abortions at her home and found one woman guilty of terminating her pregnancy in a case that reignited debate on Portugal's restrictive abortion laws.
Abortion rights activists say about 16,000 illegal abortions are performed each year in Portugal, a nation of 10.3m people.
Government statistics show that each year about 10,000 women are treated at hospitals following botched illegal abortions.
However, prosecutions for illegal abortions are rare, largely because of secrecy surrounding backstreet clinics.

I see abortion for what it is ... murder.
As a matter of opinion. But is this just murder of a human that you are concerned with? Because animals suffer much worse fates, but that's not called murder, it's called animal cruelty. So somehow we are better than animals or something?

I leave that up to God to tell them.
So you assume that god will do for you what you believe to be true? Are you reading what you're saying? I can't believe you actually take yourself seriously...

Most people also agree that abortion is warranted in cases of rape.

Ok so how about the morning after pill, strictly speaking, if as I've been led to believe this can be taken 72 hours after sexual contact and the egg has already been fertilized way before then is that abortion as all the wheels have been set in motion, how far back does it go before the fetus is not considered human, the newly fertilized egg, does that have the same rights as a six month old fetus. I try not to have any hard and fast rules on this grey issue the only point I disagree with is abortion as birth control and even then what if the woman used protection and it failed does she then have the right to seek an abortion.

Might I add that the mayority of girls that did an abortion eventually regret it later on in their life. I am sure the abortion-clinics never tell you that.
