"Pro-choice" and "Pro-life" are both silly positions on the issue when you look at it that way.

I'll definitely agree with the statement about morality having nothing to do with the choice if you're not the one having the baby. However, if the option to have an abortion weren't there, there would be an abundance of unwanted children, either given up for adoption, or otherwise creating additional strain on social assistance programs. Once my tax dollars go to pay for someone elses mistake, that's when I have the right to an opinion. I'm not saying that I would support something like mandatory abortions for people who can't afford children, but the option should be there.
