If you consider your self on the side of pro-choice, I have some questions for you.
I've gotten the impression that some pro-life believers think we all agree on everything in regard to abortion. I have a strong suspicion that we do NOT agree about everything.
It seems that many conservatives on this board believe that pro-choice must mean pro-abortion! They seem to think that it is our lives work to URGE young women to have abortions, rather than use birth control, or to abstain or to adopt...
If you are on the side of pro-choice, do you always encourage those women who are considering their options to abort?
Are you completely against the idea of considering adoption as an alternative?
Is abstinence completely out of the question?
Should abortion be used as a form of birth control?

I will give the other side. I am pro life or rather pro adoption or pro keep the baby if your maternal instinct is strong enough to overcome poverty, social ostracism, etc. I do think that many pro=choice people are in the same wave length as pro=keep your baby or abort them because either the father is such a creep that the child will inherit his nature or no one except the birth parent, that is the mother can raise the child, and that means if she does not want the baby, she has to kill her, because no one else is good enough or fit enough.
Tragically that is the impression against those who said "I aborted because I could not see my baby being alone and abandoned." It shows a lack of the love of humanity. that all of us are unfeeling animals and it saddens me.
Because there is lots of couples who would make wonderful parents if only they had the chance.
As for abstinence, It is the ideal until marriage, and is the best form of birth control. After all, you do not have to worry about years ago learning that a pill made you more susceptible to cancer, and I also believe it you slept around, it does not mean that your life is over and that you have to go sleeping with guys for the rest of your life and you do not deserve to say no.
That is what happened years ago, girls who gave in, were not supposed to say no and that led to a lot of problems.

You are right, the conservatives think all pro-choice people are baby killers, which is not the case at all. Like most others have stated here, most of us are for the choice being available. Would I ever have one? Well I opted for a choice that would eliminate that problem, I had my tubes tied when I was done having children. For others I feel the decision is up to them, not me or the government.
I do laugh at the conservatiives who bristle at goverment intervention on things except this.

The key word is choice. Not every woman will make the same choice. I object to not having any choice. I object to forcing a woman to keep a baby she doesn't want . or abort a child she dearly wants.I will fight and die for a woman to make the choice she can live with. so many , it is abortion But there are many who keep the babie or give them up for adoption. what both sides Don't want to see is a woman have a baby she doesn't want and have her kill herself and the baby.Choice is the key word. a word I am willing to die to protect.

As a supporter of pro-CHOICE, I do NOT believe it is a process that should be used for birth control. I believe that a lack of education on birth control methods and abstinence is a factor in women seeking abortions. I hold strongly to the idea that a woman has a right to choose whether to abort, but from my experiences with girls I know who have had abortions for the heck of it, most end up stuck with the guilt of knowing they killed their own child.
But, I know one girl who doesn't regret having her abortion, and she's (remaining anonymous)a victim of a rape. This is the ends justifying the means, I think. It's crazy, though, because she reminds me of myself in another universe. She's got a crazy bad revenge complex. O_o
And adoption is a definite alternative.
Legislation regarding abortion should not be considered at all, unless MAYBE it limits the number of times in a given period that a woman can abort.
In the end, there is no alternative to responsibility, and learning to be held accountable for our actions, though.
