Matt, I think that's the point. Read it again. >? but it must be THEIR choice! It is a last resort. >. . .Abortion as a last resort is so inaccurate. I wish it were true >but it is not. By the way, what do you see as alternatives? Apparently >you don't believe in adoption. (1). What, do you think 9 months of pregnancy is a picnic, for all women, of all ages, given all health conditions? On May 1, you get pregnant, on January 1 out pops the kid, and off it goes to it's loving adoptive parents, and back you go to your life -- it only really took two days? That's what _I_ wish were true!! Once again, if you believe abortion is murder, it's a little hard to discuss this issue since murder is usually more serious than a variety of medical, economic, psycological etc. repurcussions that various women suffer during pregnancy. However, if you _don't_ believe abortion is murder, why suffer even one of the nine months of an unintended pregnancy just to populate the world further (which you may be philosophically opposed to)? (2) Why do you wish 'the last resort' were true?
