Until a fetus is old enough to survive outside the body of its mother, it is not really a separate life and is little more than a parasite. Abortion is construed by some as murder, but is really such a tough decision that it ought to be left to the mother, and to no one else. Abortion should not be used as a form of birth control in and of itself, but ought to be acceptable in instances of rape, failed contraceptives, fetal disease, or a life-threatening pregnancy.
And to all the pro-lifers: abortion only stops a beating heart if you wait long enough for the heart to develop. No one is forcing the pro-lifers to get abortions, yet they wish to force everyone not to...
Keep pregnancy curable!

the removal of a unborn fetus and thus killing it. Personally, I do not support abortion because I think it is wrong and often used as birth control
HOWEVER
I also believe that since I am a man, it is not my place to tell women how to live their lives. Although I personally may think what they are doing is wrong, it is not my place to make a law banning this. And no, dont say "but its your responsibilty because its murder!" its not actually murder, more depriving someone of a future life. And think about it for two seconds: if you outlaw abortion, women will still get abortions. TRUST ME ON THIS. They will simply go to dangerous back alley abortion clinics.

Something which no one ideally wants to have. Like any surgery or medical treatment problems can occur.
If so called "right to lifers" really want to do something positive, they would channel all their anger and use it to no better word than "glorify" all the alternatives women have to abortion, instead of attacking those who see no other alternative and the doctors that only want to make sure that a woman doesn't suffer from the process.

If rich republicans want everyone who gets pregnant to give birth, then they should start lining up to adopt into their own homes all the kids who are born to women who realize they wont be able to raise those children properly.
