Her "choice" can be that of not getting pregnant in the first place. Do you think that parents that get tired of raising a child should be able to "choose not to go through the procedure of raising a child" and drown their children in a bathtub one after the other?

Some parents have been known to give their child up for adoption when the child was as old as five.
Thats all I have to say about that...

That sort of "honor system" in regards to lawful decisions just does not work. There is a chunk of the population that will not do something because it is illegal, and the law / consequences are what stop them. To consider that we shouldn't make abortion after 12 weeks illegal just to allow parents to choose right or wrong, is a bit silly. They have the rest of their lives to choose between right and wrong, let's not give them the opportunity when it concerns the life of a child.

I guess my whole thing with this is, "Who am I/ Who are we" to judge? Silly or not that mother/couple should be able to choose for themselves what they are going to do about her situation without government intervention. Now don't get me wrong I would be truly angry at mother that got an abortion in her seventh month of pregnancy. However, I would try my best to stay neutral, just because I disagree that shouldn’t give me the right to stop her. (We are speaking only of abortion here, I hold different views on other topics) People should be allowed to make their own choices and be accountable for them after the fact, not before hand.
Minority Report anyone?
I'm guessing this comes down to the point of view that I believe this is still the woman’s body where as you do not. Correct me if I’m wrong.
