News Should abortion be a woman's choice?

I'd be willing to bet that a relatively miniscule amount of women behave like that. Every sane woman that I've met who had an abortion due to reckless sex agonized over the decision in the first place and continue to carry around so much guilt about it that they take every precaution to prevent it from happening again.

The women who take a lighthearted view of it and don't change their ways after the first one are generally pretty messed up and certainly don't need to be mothers. The adoption thing won't even really work for them since they certainly aren't going to quit the hard drugs for the duration of the pregnancy. How many people want to adopt children with severe drug induced birth defects?

yes, i have known many women who severly agonize this dilema, thus why i am trying to express my opinion of those to be responsible...i have a very good friend in the exact predictament-and she's happily married but cannot support her expecting child because of a child she already has and cannot give him the life she wants...since she's my friend, i support her although i wish she would go through with it...she feels bad that she wasn't more responsible, but i assure you she will be much more careful due to the agony she is enduring...

i agree absolutely, especially in the case of rape or if the child/mother is endangered...my biggest problem with abortion are those who have sex irresponsibly (ie: do not use any birth control) and then casually tell themselves it will be okay because they can have an abortion because it's so easy... it's easy for men to take the liberal stand on abortion, especially those who haven't had a child themselves...they don't realize the attachment to a child one iota...matter of fact, they are the furthest from that reality...till you experience for yourself, you really haven't experienced both sides of the debate...
