I'm pro-choice.

If, say, a 13-year-old gets pregnant, pregnancy could be fatal if her body isn't even ready to carry a baby.

And many people think that adoption is always the answer. It's not exactly easy to find a parent for every unwanted child. The very existence of orphanages proves that there are more children than parents that want them.

Also, why tell someone else what to do with THEIR body based on YOUR values, beliefs, morals, etc.?

Outlawing abortion won't stop people from getting it. In fact, it can make it riskier.

Pro-choice isn't necessarily supporting abortion, it's supporting having a CHOICE and a right to your own body.

I also believe that it's worse for the child if they grow up with a horrible or abusive family and know they are unwanted than if they are simply aborted before birth.

And anyway, if an abortion is done before a baby's brain even develops, they won't even feel pain or know what is happening!

And anyway, I think both sides should support safe sex so abortion isn't needed in the first place. ^__^ And there is always the possibility of them being safe with it but something failed. Would you really call them irresponsible for that? Force a woman to have a baby against her will, even if it endangers her life? That is what doesn't seem right to me. Until the baby's umbilical cord is cut, they are still part of their mother's body. Shouldn't everyone have a right to their own body?

The one thing I strongly DON'T support is aborting a baby after it's born. It's happened before, and they basically leave it all alone to die.
