1. sex/gender (male, female, transgender... i'd be interested in homo- or hetro too, but that's at your discretion to add.)
ANSWER: female/hetero

2. age
ANSWER: 30

3. religion (preferably adding how religous/level of practice)
ANSWER: Christian/non-denomenational/non-church-going

4. are you pro-choice or pro-life? why?
ANSWER: Pro-LIFE. I believe life begins at conception. For those who would argue that "nobody really knows when life begins", why take that chance? It pains me to read the replies that advocate the pro-choice stance as they all revolve around the mother, not the child. A woman who is willing to terminate a life because it's inconvenient, or dare I say even threatening to her health, is being selfish. The child is the only person without a voice and the only one who's life has been entrusted primarily in the hands of his/her MOTHER. Adoption is a great option, however many mothers are unwilling to deal with the pregnancy, the perceived shame, and the pain of having to give up their child upon birth. It's all about them (the mother).

5. do you feel that abortion should be legal or illegal? why?
ANSWER: Illegal. Once again, legalizing abortion essentially gives women the green light to kill/murder their unborn children. For those who would argue that the government should not force its morality on the mother, take a look at our society. We send murderers to prison, and even sentence them to death because society has deemed their actions immoral and unacceptable. Should the government take its nose out of that business as well? Certainly not; those laws, based on moral convictions, keep our society from degenerating into chaos. So to say the government should not dictate our personal moral values is ridiculous. Oh, and by the way, the last time I checked, our government and our laws are determined by the people. We do live in a democratic republic. People talk about the government as if it's some foreign body that they have no connection with.

6. would you ever consider having one or asking your partner to (if male)? if so, under what circumstances? (edit: possibly clarification made)
ANSWER: No.

7. (very optional)if female, have you had one? if male, have you contributed to one?
ANSWER: No.
