Each of us are individuals that are only here for maybe 80 years (if we are lucky), so I personally want to make my own decisions that will affect the only 80 years I get here and therefore I respect everyone else’s right to do the same. Of course the decisions I make will be affected by things like the society I live in, my immediate peers, the group of people I associate with, religion, family, education and of course circumstances. When I make a decision that that goes against the rules of the society I live in or the moral code of family or friends, I know that I risk punishment or banishment, but, it would be my choice...

 

So yes, I believe in “pro-choice�?for women to choose abortion, and, for whatever their reason is. A lot has been said about different stages of pregnancy, when life begins etc. Is it when the sperm enters the egg? Is it when the original cell divides into two cells or is it when the umbilical cord is cut? Or somewhere in the middle?  Is it ok to abort a baby that will be born abnormal, yet wrong to abort a healthy baby? Those all seem like questions for a different thread on the morality of abortion (which I’ve seen on here somewhere before). This thread is about choice and in my mind that choice is always the individuals choice...
