I used to be very strongly Pro-Choice; now I lie somewhere inbetween. Abortion is a practice as old as humans. While adoption is an option, so many kids end up lost in the system, never finding homes or someone to love them. I personally could not have one unless the baby were threatening my life; I feel that is selfish, but I have three other children and a husband who would go nuts trying to be both mom and dad; I don't want anyone else raising my bebes--I want to be here for them. What if I were to have a child and die in the process and my others hate the one for it? I have read stories of women who were raped and kept the babies that came of it, loving them no less and being totally accepted by the pre-exisiting family (Reader's Digest, or was it Guideposts??, has such a story in the current issue). In the end, I leave it to each individual to decide for themselves, as I feel our gov't should. Keep it legal and safe, but make the conditions under which they are performed under certain guidelines. I know the clinics all offer up the other options beforehand, but some women are in a position where they are just so scared or depressed that they can't think clearly of the options.
