I'm one of those relitively rare animales, an anti abortion pro choicer. Yes I think abortions are horrible awful things, but I also belive they should be legal, safe , and easily availible. I firmly belive that life begins at conception, and all life is precious. I also belive that until the child is able to exist outside the womb it is a parisite. If a woman is put into the position of not being able to physically or mentally carry a pregnancy to term safely then she should have the option to abort the child. I've been in the position of not being allowed to choose when where or how I had sex, if I'd gotten pregnant then I would have died rather than carry my rapists baby to term. I've known girls who were raped by their fathers, and killed once the father discovered they were pregnant. (He was trying to hide the fact that he was rapeing them.) I am also a child whose mother went against a doctors reccomendation that she abort (pre Wade). I could have easily killed my mother, but she wanted me enough to refuse the abortion her Doctors wanted to give her.The issue of legal abortions is one where emotions get hot very easily. In an ideal world no abortions would be needed. Every pregnancy would be considered a blessing and every child would be wanted. We don't live in an ideal world.In our world females get raped, get pregnant when health issues can kill them, get pregnant when they can't feed the children they have, birth control fails, ect. . .In our world safe legal abortions are a nessacary evil, and they should remain safe, and legal as well as haveing costs reduced.
