I chose I don't know.
There are two issues at odds here and I agree with both sides. The right to life issue, abortion as birth control reeks morally to me. It is a right to life issue and I have no reason to oppose it outside the rotten feeling in my guts when I think about if it were me or my SO. This could have to do with the fact that my mother's age and mine are separated by a mere 16 years.
The women's rights issue I agree with as well, a person should have a say in what goes on insider their own body. More importantly than that, their say should trump anyone else's.
For someone to say or act like this isn't a moral issue and women's rights issue, only one or the other, I would have to assume they're being disingenuous or deliberately obtuse.
So who wins? I'm in the camp of the rights of the living trump the rights of the potentially living, but I would never chose abortion for myself or my wife (to be) or my daughters(to be). Doesn't matter though because that decision won't ever be up to me.
