Pro-choice for a few reasons 1) Nobody has the right to tell another person what she or he cannot do with his/her body. Doubly so when it's a man trying to tell a woman what she can do with her body. 2)Until a child is actually born, the health and welfare of the mother have got to come first, she's already a person. 3)A bundle of cells may be life, but it's certainly not human life as we would consider it.
Pro-Choice. I would never have an abortion, but that's not to say someone else would need one like someone who's been sexually abused or raped (which is my own bias as one of my cousins had a child who was both her sister and her daughter). I think most people would prefer that women who want one are getting them in sterile, clean environments than in alleyways.
Pro-Choice. Nobody can tell a women what to do with her own body. I personally would never get one, but for women in the cases of rape, insest, or a pregnancy that could kill the mother, that should be an option. I do not believe it should be used as a form of birth control. We have the pill and condoms for that.
It's a matter of human rights. A foetus has no individual rights, (it cannot logically have individual rights although it is a living organism) but a woman has. And a woman must be in charge of every aspect of her own body.
Also, I don't believe it's "life" the moment the cells connect. There is no way we can determine this without using religion/philosophy and religion/philosophy can't be allowed to play at part in a political matter such as abortion.
I don't think women use abortion as birth control, I think saying that is to underestimate women's intelligence. I think you should be able to remove a foetus from your own body without being attacked by moralists, regardless of age, life situation etc etc. If you don't want a baby, then you should not have a baby. Period.
Abortion is WRONG!!!
