I think there are ways to have the freedom of abortion and promote responsibility in a society at the same time. If your reason for being pro-choice has more to do with people owning up to responsibilities, then I think it's better to start looking for other ways to achieve that goal than argue with the pro-choicers.

I think you meant pro-life, and I agree to an extent with the last paragraph. I completely see the debate as how one looks at it, apparently we are arguing two completely different views on the matter. I take a moral stand point as opposed to the political. I am arguing a more personal belief as opposed to the law and the freedom to get an abortion. Im not looking to achieve any goals, that why I am extremely reluctant to post here. I dont really know how to express my opinions about this, but I am not arguing for a pro-life society, more of expressing my views on abortion. Basically, Im against abortion outside of rape, yet still dont really care about what anyone else does. ****, I cant really explain what I'm trying to say, it's 8am here and I have yet to sleep.
