1) I am Female and straight.
2) 18
3) Believe in god but don't follow an organized religion.
4) Pro-choice. I believe that an abortion should not be used as birth control but if there was a good reason that the women could not have the baby in good physical and mental health, or that the child would have serious problems that would result in a low quality of life, that abortion is acceptable. If it was simply a case of not wanting the responsibility, i think that adoption is a much better option for the child, but it is still the women's choice in the end.
5) Definitly Legal. What happens to a women's body is her business, government should have no say in this. If abortion was illegal, determined women would still find a way to have it done and could seriously harm themselves. Also, the unwanted babies could be abandoned at birth which is much worse. It breaks my heart when you hear stories about babies found in trash cans.
6) Personally, i would concider doing it in the case of rape or after finding out that the child would have a serious condition that would result in death or low quality of life. In the case of an accidental but healthy pregnency i would decide based on where i was in my life at that point.
7) i have never had one
