1. Male, straight
2. 20
3. Agnostic
4. I'm generally pro-choice with some exceptions.
5. I think abortion should be legal within limits. Victims of rape, incest and parents of severely-diseased fetuses should have the choice, as long as it's done professionally and with stricts laws, medical procedures, etc. I think being young or poor or just becoming pregnant at an 'inconvenient' time is no excuse. Shit happens in life, don't make a child die because your career goals aren't met yet. Suck it up and accept that you will soon have a child who had no choice in the matter, and then either love that child or give it up for adoption where somebody will love him or her. I do believe a woman's body is a woman's body, but when a a life is in your body you shouldn't be thinking about your body as simply your own. Whether you like it or not that baby should be the priority.
6. I would not ask my partner to have an abortion, instead I would accept that my life as a young man is over and I'm now a father. I'd be sad about my own young life being cut short but I would accept that these things can happen, and any loss I felt would be overshadowed by the joy of being a father and a sincere dedication to my child, and knowing that I'm going to be the greatest dad ever.
