The reason is simple: although I am pro-choice, I still believe that abortion is the taking of incipient life. Not a religious viewpoint but just a moral one. While I would not deny a woman the right to abort, I still think it is not something that a woman should do unless there is a compelling reason not to have the child. A compelling reason does not include the inconvenience of having a baby. [/quote]
Different PP, and I have a similar moral code.  But what I'm puzzled by is your insistence, based on anecdote per your own posts, that a large number (maybe majority) of abortions are due to women using it as their primary form of birth control.  That's a pretty bold statement.[/quote]

Yes, my information is anecdotal - but it is "informed anecdotes" - because none of the individuals I cited are opposed to choice but they do feel that it is a choice that is not always responsibly used.

There are other examples I can cite but it would also be anecdotal.

It is a convenient alibi to use for some women to say that their birth control failed - and I am sure it happens just as there are pregnancies that are caused by rape and incest - but seriously, the millions of abortions that occur cannot be attributed to failed contraceptives.[/quote]

And again the question must be asked - if you oppose these abortions particularly on the ground that the woman (and it's always the woman's fault, right?) is irresponsible for not using birth control - then you must support free birth control, excellent sex education in school, and aggressive marketing and handing out of free birth control so that every woman has an easy way to keep herself from getting pregnant, right?
