I would never be able to have an abortion, I do believe it's killing, but I'm not comfortable trying to legislate that for all other women knowing that it wouldn't stop abortions
I doubt that I could either - quite aside from my morals about life, I am (as I think is obvious to anyone who reads my journal) married to my absolute soulmate - who was adopted in the 50's. Puts a different spin on it for me, neh?
But I have *never* believed the abortion laws are actually about life - I firmly believe they are about male power.
And I do believe that every person first and foremost should have the right to say what happens to their own bodies. Certainly, there are some places where no one has a choice - but I'll be damned if I'll give my choice to someone else.
And although I know they are out there, I personally don't know anyone who found that choice simple.
