For some reason, I missed this thread until just now.

Musicmom, I understand how you feel, it's a horrible feeling isn't it? It makes you feel really helpless in this world.

I'm going to tell you my view on abortion, and it's no a common one.

For MYSELF personally I am staunchly pro-life. I am however VEHEMENTLY pro-CHOICE when it comes to any other person than myself. And I don't believe the two have to mutually exclusive.

Abortion could never be an option for ME but that's easy to say in that I have never experienced a crisis pregnancy.

I strongly believe adoption needs to remain a legal option. No woman should ever be forced to carry a baby to term if she really doesn't want to... That can't be good for the babe either. The reasons sometimes baffle me, but in reality if you look at the stats, MOST people DON'T use abortion as a form of birth control, although as Yulia mentioned, there ARE people like that.

Prior to Roe Vs. Wade 1973, when abortion became legal, hundreds of thousands of woman and babies died or were maimed by illegal back street abortionists... You see, if we made it illegal, I think we would go back to that... Women who didn't want to be pregnant, would still find a way to terminate, as awful as that sounds...

I just can't figure out in my mind, a way for it to be perfect everyway... Abortion cannot be completely illegal and yet it cannot go on the way it does because of the way some people abuse it.

Every person who I ever knew who had an abortion has suffered with the consequences after.. Sometimes for years, and it never goes away.

It is not an easy decision to make. And baby has no choice at all
