[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like an odd definition of pro-choice.

Personally, I'd want my child to have the baby in most circumstances, because I think abortion is generally morally wrong. I think it should be her decision, though, because I recognize that there are consequences to forcing my vision of morality on people who disagree.

I call myself pro-choice, because I don't think abortion should be generally illegal. I'd extend the same to a person who thinks that abortion is generally a good idea for people in these circumstances. Having an opinion about what choice someone makes doesn't keep you from believing they should have a legal right to make the choice.[/quote]

So abortion is morally wrong but forcing a woman to carry to term is morally fine so she can deliver andbe a broodmare for some woman who can't have children?

Where did PP say anything about forcing a woman to carry to term? Did you even read her post? As someone who's pro-choice and doesn't personally consider abortion immoral, I respect PP's views and appreciate her wisdom and compassion. As a society we'd be much better off if more people understood that everything we personally disapprove of doesn't have to be outlawed for everyone else.

And in response to OP's weird question, yes, I would 100% support my daughter in whatever choice she made in a situation like this. It's her body and her life. The fact that OP even places this in the context of how you'd feel if your daughter got pregnant and not you yourself is telling, though. I'm guessing that comes from the mindset that OP thinks people feel like they 'own' their kids, which is right in line with the outlaw abortion crowd who thinks they have rights over other people's bodies.[/quote]
