I think the right to choose, or extinguish the life you've created by engaging in behavior which resulted in it's creation, is safe.

Two points:

1. It is not legislation. It is judicial fiat that created, out of thin air, a right ennumerated no where, by no one, in any document, that regulates how this country operates.

2. I believe while this invented right, (whether I like it or not, IT IS a right) is safe, HOWEVER, I do believe that limits can and SHOULD be placed on this right. For example, partial birth abortion, minor parental notification, possibily even father involvement, are some limitations that should exist. These are NOT restrictions, but instead limitations.

OK I've got a third too. This is for states to decide as far as I'm concerned, and so far, except for a tiny handful, most would maintain the status quo, while only implementing some of these minor limitations I outlined. Of course, father involvement is a long shot, and probably out of the main stream, but I still feel strongly about it. If you can be forced to pay child support, you should also have the option of being involved in any decisions involving a life you created. I am also, for the record, somewhat torn on the 'my body,' 'my nine months' side of the coin as well. Not much, mind you but somewhat. I think my definition of a choice starts ALOT earlier then when to extinguish the life growing inside of you....(this is why rape is a different stories, imho).
