The first trimester, rape cases, deformity would be areas I could understand abortion.  Feel the morning after pill should be readily available and open dialog between parents and child should be a comfortable discussion rather than having the child talk to her peers.  Am still surprised at how many teens think they can’t get pregnant the first time.  With such chances for disease nowadays I am surprised that pregnancy is the main concern.  The "yucky" stuff needs to be imprinted on the minds of teenagers including oral sex.  I remember hearing that throat cancer is on the rise and it is not always due to smoking these days.

I agree with Judy K.,  if young women are able to be properly educated, and birth control is readily available, then abortion should need to be an option very little of the time.  It should, however be legally available as the last, worst option.

Being ‘pro-life’ is a personal choice. A woman’s right to choose does not take that personal choice away from anyone.

I would have no answer on any poll that asked that question. Because I am absolutely for life and could never have had an abortion. But I am absolutely NOT willing to impose my views on anyone else. Not republians or any other political party or bent, and certainly not those who claim a fedex account with the Infinite Omnificence should have that power. I will always vote pro-CHOICE so that I and my children and my children’s children—and everyone else—will always be the ones—the only ones—who make decisions about our own bodies and our own reproductive values. 

I have no problem with someone being pro life as long as they don’t want to take someone else’s choice away.That’s why its called Pro Choice. It is an individual decision.

The question is: Should abortion always be legal, never be legal or be legal on in certain circumstances, like rape or incest?  The answer, I believe, is that abortion should never be necessary!  RESPECT is the answer and the key.  If you respect yourself, you should not get into a situation where you have to make a decision that effects another life or two (the father).  If you respect others, you should not get into a situation where you have to make a decision that effects another life.  And I am not only talking about getting pregnant - there are a variety of nasty diseases out there, as well!   Women have choices (except in rape or incest, which is less than 1% of all abortions performed): they can choose to have sex or not, they can choose to use birth control or not.  Being Pro-Life  is not taking away someone’s right to make smart choices!  And it is not an "individual decision".  Like it or not, there is another life at stake when you are making your "choice".   Imagine if everyone respected all life - from conception to natural birth.  What a beautiful society we would have!  Crime would be almost non-existent and abortion would be unnecessary.
