it should always come down to choice...whether they are willing to carry the baby for nine months, whether they are ready to give the baby a home, whether they are willing to give it for adoption...etc etc...these are all choices that a pregnant woman needs to make depending on her situation....

the so-called immorality of being pro-choice is driven essentially by religious reasons rather than moral or practical ones(for me, religion and morality are not the same)....which is why i am totally against pro-birth...
I love it when people save me the bother of posting.
