I get very offended when I see someone calling people who are Pro-Choice murderers! I am Pro-Choice, not Pro-Abortion, and I respect those who have strong feelings about being Pro-Life.

I do not wish to see women die needlessly via "coat hangers" and other horrible deaths. I simply do not want to see the young mother, who's life is at risk, lose her life because the government says she can not terminate a pregnancy because it is not legal. I do not want to see rape and incest victims have to go through carrying a pregnancy they did not want.

I disturbs me so that some women use abortion as birth control. That is wrong. But there are many reasons to keep abortion legal and safe. I am certainly no "baby killer" because of this!
MAGO** I was not going to respond to anyone because I respect their opinions and I have heard all the propaganda. Do you have a daughter? If your daughter was pregnant and the only way to save her life would be to end the life of the unborn baby she was carrying would you think that was murder too?
 
Agreed 100%.

I think people should worry about their own problems and leave people to their own choices in life.

It's nobodies place to tell someone else how to live their lives, or to make them feel like the scum of the earth just because they have a different outlook on things.
 
Yes, keep it safe and I don't think a women shouldn't have an abortion after the first trimester... It's really a big debate I could go with either side but it just disturbs me that so many babys end up in the trash cans because there parent's were to immature to wrap it up, or the girl got mad at her boyfriend and is doing it to get back at the boyfriend.. No matter how you slice it your ending a life for what ever reason it maybe... My view is if a women is ignorant enough to use a coat hanger that's her fault what ever happens, just like drug addicts if they overdose it's there fault so I don't feel sorry for women like that!!!!!!!
