I would much rather see effective birth control used than an abortion performed. That said, there are reasons for abortion to be available. I would never want a woman to have to carry a dead fetus until 'nature takes its course" and I understand the reasons that a pregnancy can happen at the wrong time. I have considered abortion in the past and have known others who have either had one or decided not to and can say that it's not a simple decision in most cases.
Abortion is a decision for a woman to make based on the best information available to her and that doesn't include the idea that some god, or clergy, or stick up the butt person thinks is correct for her.
In other aspects besides abortion, I am also pro-choice.
I'm pro-birth control, pro-abstinence, pro-anything that prevents pregnancy really. However, I believe that when the fetus (I don't really believe it's a "baby") starts forming, then the proper thing to do is give birth. I understand the adoption and foster care problems, and that's why I believe one of America's biggest concerns should be improving those.
I understand why people are pro-choice, I just disagree.
