note: something I posted and wanted to save just in case you ever wanted to know (in which case you probably don't)

I don't want to say you shouldn't *ever* consider abortion, but there are certain cases such as medical/financial/and just plain "duh" cases, really. I don't want to say that it's murder, but only if you weren't raped, etc. That's just ridiculous.

Some people think that no matter what you should go through with the pregnancy even if it'll cause health problems for the mother. My mother and sister continued with their pregnancies and now some of their organs are shot to hell. Granted I love being here and love my nieces, but some people don't consider the consequences it has on the mother.

Yes, I believe that the fetus is alive, that it has a soul, etc-BUT I am NOT going to force that belief down people's throats, nor do I want someone telling me that I can't believe in what I want to. Women will find a way to get rid of the fetus if abortion becomes illegal. For some people it's the only choice, and in some cases they could have made better choices (if they had a choice); but it's their life and it's their right.
