Do you mean you're conflicted on whether it should be a legal matter? Or just about the ethics?
I'd say that anyone who thinks there are no ethics to consider whatsoever is oversimplifying the issues as much as someone running around with "abortion is murder" posters. Personally I see being pro choice as the lesser of two evils. As with all things in life, it's about the best compromise given the situations we find ourselves in.
Having said that, there should be no time limit if the mothers health is in danger. Now as to where the cut off point should be in all other cases, I have no idea.
And, it’s a question worth examining, IMO. Problem is (as Vulc already mentioned) a lot of people, from both sides of the argument, seem too stubborn and fearful to go there. It’s either, “all abortions are murder, you baby-murder lover!”, or, “you want women in chains! Why not just make rape legal?!”
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
