[quote=Anonymous][quote]By its definition, pro choice means that the decision belongs to the pregnant woman and only the pregnant woman, and that the fact that a decision is required means that different women will make different decisions. Pro choice is NOT pro abortion. The pro choice view acknowledges that abortion is a tough issue that does NOT produce one simple answer, and then requires that that decision be made by the pregnant woman. [/quote] This is how I feel about it. I always used to say "fortunately I've never had to make that choice." Then I started saying what you're griping about - the "I wouldn't do it myself" - why? B/c I had a couple of years worth of infertility smack me in the face and that blurred my thinking on the subject. Now that I am past that time period, I agree with the above quote. It's a choice, and not likely an easy one for anyone who has to make it. But thank goodness those who need to make that choice can have it done safely. [/quote]
