I actually support the right to choose, mainly because it could potentially endanger a mother's life, and because the fetus hasn't developed senses, so it isn't like killing an infant that can feel pain, and has experienced life.

I'm also pro-choice, they have a right to that decision and I respect that. Biologically, medically and circumstantially I can see how it can be problematic. It's a different issue setting in stone the kid's future mentalities and its conclusions they may develop, and halting it for that reason. I'm not exactly against it, just unconvinced.
It also doesn't seem much different from saying "My parents were abusive, I should have been aborted."
