1. Male
2. Age 20 (close to 21)
3: Unaffiliated, but spiritual and theistic
4. I am pro-choice. However, I don't feel that abortion should be a matter of convenience or a method of after-the-fact contraception. If you can't use birth control consistently and properly, you shouldn't be having sex in the first place. This is one of the reasons that I believe strongly in comprehensive sex education ni schools. Back to the topic: I believe that life begins when the fetus becomes a viable child, not at conception. I don't feel that a woman should be forced to keep anything growing inside of her that she did not willingly become host to, especially in the case that it woudl cause harm to her.
5. It should be legal. It is not my place to tell people what to do with their lives and bodies unless they threaten my life or body.
6: If I had to, I would consider it, but I sure as hell wouldn't feel good about it. It would have to be early in the pregnancy; even though I dont' think that life begins until viability, I don't think I could deal with aborting something with a developed nervous system.
7. I have not and hope that I will never have to.
