OK, so now I kind of get why you don't like it and you don't want to be referred to as pro-abortion.
I have to say though this whole thing feels like a red herring, since in the vast majority of cases the women involved actually do have a choice about whether or not to have sex. If you have the ability to choose not to have sex, why do you need the choice to terminate a pregnancy?
And then you say, but what about the ridiculously tiny fraction of pregnancies that result from rape or incest? and then I say but why should the baby have to pay a price for the actions of others?
Do you have national statistics to back up your claim that rape-related abortions are very rare? When the mother was impregnanted by rape, incest, or sexual assault, that was 100% the father's choice, not hers. Rape is defined as a male having sex with a female who tells him no. Right or wrong, I understand why a raped female would want to abort her pregnancy. In that case, she had the ability to choose, but not the ability to avoid it. You should too. I can't convince you abortion is the right decision for raped females but you can learn to sympathize with them in their horrible situations that can result in choosing abortions.
I'm sorry...I really don't mean to be a jerk. I promise I'm not mad at you. I respect you really. I'm sorry if that isn't coming across like it should.[/QUOTE]
You are not a jerk. I have Asperger's syndrome, which puts me at a higher risk of misunderstandings and being too negative.
