1. Female

2. 27

3. Agnostic (w/ mildly Catholic upbringing, and I have a strange fascination w/catholocism, which is more aesthetic than religious).

4. Pro choice. You could even call me pro-abortion, that's fine with me. Why? Many reasons.
1. I'm relatively logical, rather than 'emotional' or 'sentimental'.
2. I believe life begins, exists, when it can exist outside of it's 'host'.
2a. there is a grey area of life, when it requires some assistance to continue. It's the degree of assistance...and I'm not sure exactly where the line is, but I'm confident with my belief of where a foetus falls within that scale.
2b. It may be a long time, if ever, before a scientific consensus is reached on the definition of life. That, to me, is relatively irrelevant. As much as I'm a fan of scientific proofs, well, refer to 2a.
3. I am quite in favor of planned families. (even though I'm a direct result of the opposite).
4. I firmly believe in control and responsibility, at any point. Even if a 'mistake' is made, if there is a way out of it, by all means, go ahead.

5. Legal. Relatively easy and unrestricted, but with full safety of the mother as top concern. Through the 1st and 2nd trimester, I don't think I have any problems/concerns. I would also be interested in ways to make it possible for <18 yrs w/o parental consent. Not sure of the details on that one.
***edit: I also strongly believe that primarily personal belief/opinion-based things such as abortion should not be dictated by law. The abortion 'debate' as it is currently is primarly moral, not ethical, and therefore should be relatively unrestricted.

6. Yes, under any circumstance where I was pregnant and did not want to be, for whatever reason.

7. Technically, no. Closest I've come is 'inducing' late menstruation.

***Important note: as much as I favor abortion, I am a much bigger supporter of Birth Control. Easy, affordable, regardless of age or location.
Prevention is always best, and I don't count abstinance as prevention, rather, avoidance.
