No-one ever seems to have a good answer to that one, therefore, I support the freedom of choice.

you're countering their argument after first twisting their premises. the good answer is that those people argue that sex should be reserved for a man and woman within the bonds of marriage. a society that embraces those social mores would have very little need for abortion. it's silly to think of sex as something free from responsibility or consequence... that it exists outside (but not solely for the purpose of) creation of living/breathing/thinking/feeling human beings.
society is bankrupt when the whims and passions of the powerful hold sway over the lives of undesirables.
