[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"... I refuse to accept that women are not the masters of their own uteri. I will not stand for a patriarchal government that dictates to me with regard to birth control or emptying my own uterus if I feel I must. Anything else returns women to the status of slaves. A citizen has to have absolute rights to his or her own body." 
I agree. I used to be unsure of my stance on this issue, as I always lean toward being pro-life because i do feel that abortion is terminating a life - but I am now sure that I am pro-choice - because how can we trample all over the rights of a woman in favor of the rights of a fetus?  If we have to choose between protecting the rights of the two (and we do have to choose), then we have to protect the woman's rights.

What we need to do is eliminate the need for an abortion in the first place.[/quote] just like the internal combustion engine ended the need for slavery.  some day people who got an abortion will be thought of in the same light as slave-holders. slave holders were human just like people with unwanted pregnancies..they didn't want to suffer and could rationalize the subjugation of an "inferior being"[/quote]

Aside from the problems with your analogy, the anti-abortion crowd has already opposed the technologies that could eliminate the need in the first place.  No to promoting birth control in schools, no to morning after pills, no to including contraception in health care plans.  [/quote]
