Contraceptives are your friends.
But sometimes, they fail and then you end up pregnant.
Now, the question arises: What do you do?
If you make abortion illegal you take away that choice. Suddenly you're going to
have to go through with the pregnancy. And pregnancies are not pretty. To those of you who say "give the kid up for adoption", do you know anything about what happens to a woman's body throughout the pregnancy and during the birth? It leaves permanent scars on the body, you can walk around feeling like crap for the whole 9 months (not to add the psychological stress it would give for you to walk around carrying a child you know you're going to adopt away) and it's not like you get well right away afterwards. A pregnancy is a pretty ugly deal, and I wouldn't want it for someone who doesn't even want the child growing inside of them.
I just feel that this is my body. If I got pregnant, I don't know what I would do, but I would like to have a choice. Accidents happens, as well as rapes. What I oppose the most is a bunch of older men sitting around a table, telling me what I can and cannot do with a body. During the first few weeks of the pregnancy, the "child" (more like a parasite, actually) doesn't have any feelings, it doesn't have any thoughts.
I don't think it's murder to abort children.. and if you do.. would you call a woman who has a miscarriage a murderer? Accidentally murder someone, and they'll still punish you for it. I'm just saying, in my opinion most people who are opposed the CHOICE seem to be ignorant, not knowing the actual facts. If you wouldn't have an abortion, I can completely relate, it's your body.. which is why you call it pro-choice.
I also support proper sexual education in schools. I think a lot less teenagers would get pregnant had they had proper education about birth control. It's not rocket science, but they have to get the information from somewhere.
