I used to believe that the only time an abortion should be a choice was when the case was rape or incest or something of that nature. However, somewhere around 1994 while I was in the USAF I had a preacher that I worked with tell me simply, "Regardless of HOW the baby was conceived....God does NOT make mistakes, and to abort a baby for ANY reason was saying that God made the mistake of allowing that baby to be conceived." Needless to say that totally changed my view on the subject. I'm against it 100% regardless of the situation, period. I've heard some people say, "well, the child would remind me of the rape that caused him/her to come into this world." Bull******, you'd be too busy watching that child grow up, take there first steps, say their first words and listening to that child come up to you out of nowhere for the first time and say, "I wub you!" Regardless of my political affiliation, that is MY view of it and I'm 100% plus some against it in ANY case. |

Those are valid points and to a large extent I agree with you. You were able to make up your own mind about the issue based on your own beliefs, and in fact were able to change your mind over time as your beliefs changed. You were able to choose as your conscience dictated.
I think all of these decisions are personal decisions that each individual should be free to make for themselves, without the intervention of the government in any way. That's what I mean when I say I don't support abortion ("I don't encourage or advocate it") but I am pro-choice ("Nobody should be able to make that choice for anyone else").
Add to that equation the fact that I will never be pregnant myself, and it gives me even more reason to stay out of the choices someone who actually
is pregnant should be able to make.
