I am pro-choice all the way, except for one case, if the mother waits until well into the third trimester, if she waited that long then she should go ahead and have it and put it up for adoption, because by that time the baby is capable of independant life.
Other than that case, a woman should have total control over her body, and until that baby is capable of indendant life, it's part of the woman's body, she should be able to decide if she wants to keep it or not. No one else should be able to make that decision for her.
As far as the rape case goes, the decision should again be left up to the mother, if she decides she can't stand having a child that was forced upon her, she shouldn't be made to go throught the torture of carrying and giving birth to a child caused by rape.
If your opposed to abortion, then don't have abortions, but don't force your choice on other people and ruin their lives just so you can feel a little better when you go to sleep. The entire basis of America is that of freedom of Choice and Idea, Pro-lifers you are free to make your own Choices and have your own Ideas, but so are the Pro-choice advocates.
