1. Female, straight
2. 22
3. christian, but very low level of participation as i am questioning/protesting some of the things ive been taught my entire life.
4. very pro-choice. i believe that it is wrong to put the life of the unborn child over the life functioning member of society (the mother). It is more ethical in my opinion to choose to bring a child into the world when it can be given everything he/she deserves. i do not want anyone making my choice for me and i will not make a choice upon anyone else.
5. Abortion should very much be legal. The issue of abortion is a moral issue. morals are most often derived from religious beliefs. it is a violation of the seperation between church and state to make this issue illegal, as well as federal privacy laws. the decision to terminate a pregnancy should be left to the mother and her doctor. the father as well if that is the case.
6. a few years ago had i gotten pregnant i probably would have chosen an abortion. i still would probably make that decision depending on the situation in my life right now. i am in my early 20's, about to finish school and will need to enter the workforce. this time comes with so many changes and uncertainty that i am unsure of my ability to raise a child, let alone carry one to term. however, i do feel that, if the circumstances are right, i am at a point in my life that i could very capable of bearing and raising a child. that is a decision that would have to ultimately be made at that time.
7. no, i do everything in my power, short of abstinence, to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
