I think the fundamental issue here is control over what other people do. I completely understand the reasoning behind pro-life and why one would not want to terminate a pregnancy.
I don't think I'd be able to do it myself.
I do strongly believe, however, that this is an intensely personal thing that nobody else has any business trying to control or even having an opinion about. It's personal and private.
It doesn't become personal anymore when it involves killing someone else.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
