[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 17 I would probably try to guide my child to have an abortion, depending on how far along she was.

At 23 I would support whatever choice she wanted, assuming she doesn’t have a problems with substance abuse that would impact the pregnancy.

Same here. I guess that doesn't make me 100% pro-choice since I wouldn't exactly want my 17 year old DD to have a choice other than to have an abortion.[/quote]

And this is the distinction that I believe OP is trying to get people to recognize. There is: anti-abortion (anti-choice type 1), prochoice, and pro-abortion (anti-choice type 2).[/quote]

The majority of people have at least one situation where the *only* choice they’d make for themselves is to have an abortion. Even when they call themselves  anti-abortion, almost everyone has some situation they’d choose abortion, such as a pregnancy that is killing the mother. Those who have a dependent child  also get to make that decision for the child if they live in a state with access to abortion—that is legally a fact. If that choice is abortion and the teen is say 16 or 17 and refuses an abortion and then the parents allow her to carry to term, they will be legally obliged to take care of their daughter until she is 18 but after the daughter is 18 can kick them both out.   It I know of no one in my circle who would do such a thing. [/quote]
