Too bad it wasn't in vogue befor Chomsky was born.

Although I, personally, don't like it and unlike those that oppose same-sex marriage, it's really doesn't affect me. What a woman does with her body is not my business.

rameses2 pretty much summed it up. i'm not 'for' abortion but if a woman decides it's the best choice then it's her decision. the people against abortion who try and force their opinions really piss me off. someone should give them a slap and make them work for an organisation that deals with teenage/unplanned pregnancy so at least they can do something worthwhile.

If you are too stupid not to wear a condom during sex, you should face the consequences. Personally, I think the state should only allow abortions for certain circumstances (e.g., rape).

I'm truly surprised notdrunk is siding with The State, especially on an issue of personal liberty, but for the most part I have to agree: The State should only allow abortions for certain circumstances (e.g. pregnancy).

It's the woman's body and she should choose what she wants to do with it.
Taking it a step further, IMO if the man who impregnated her is financially obligated, he should also have say as to whether she has an abortion or not.
There are enough fucked up people on earth, the participants in this pregnancy should have choice as to whether they desire to be obligated to bring another human on to earth.
IMO the value of life in our world is often minimal or not too great. The aborted fetus may not be missing too much. Especially if the woman and man who produced the fetus is not interested in bringing a baby unto earth.

That pretty much sums it up.
What maroon decided that "Pro Choice" = "Pro Abortion"?
I remember seeing a local monk standing on the side of the road near a Planned Parenthood facility with a sign that read: "Choose Life".
I gained a lot of respect for that monk and his order when I saw that.
