I am ok with the day after pill (or week after pill, or whatever it is).  I am ok with birth control.  So if you make a mistake, or something unplanned happens, take the day after pill.  But 2-3 months later I think its too late, sorry.[/quote]

I consider myself a pretty liberal woman, and I've always wanted to be pro-choice, but I kind of agree with the above.  I could never really fully feel comfortable with the fact that, although it is a woman's body, technically the baby growing inside is a separate entity, life, body, whatever you want to call it, and an abortion is ending a life. I want to be pro-choice, but I have always felt uneasy about sanctioning termination of a human life.  I should clarify that I'm talking about after the growing baby has characteristics that, in my opinion, make it human (e.g., a developed and differentiated nervous system, beating heart, etc.).  Earlier than that in a pregnancy, I think it's a sufficiently murky and gray area, and abortion very early, in my book, is 'okay,' for lack of a better word. 
Also, my thoughts sometimes turn to the dads... it's the woman's body that is carrying the baby, but the baby is 50% dad's baby...so what happens if he wants the baby but the mom wants to terminate?  It's such a tough subject. I wish we could just eliminate the need for abortions, as a PP said.[/quote]

The law as it is now needs to be changed to determine a point where the baby is it's own entity. It is very barbaric and ignorant to think that just because its physically inside the woman that it is her property, I still can't believe this is the test of what is part of a person vs what is not, using this logic would a woman be able to take ownership of any being or item but consuming it? . I also feel it is unfair that a man has no say in whether a termination occurs or not.[/quote]
