Umm, Yeah what Lisa said... Way to go.
A couple of things though, I'm pro-choice largely because I think my rights/morals should not extend to the body's of others. Just like I keep my mouth shut when I'm at a chinese buffet with someone on our third plate and they start bitching about needing to lose sixty pounds. (it's happened) Personaly I hate abortion, I would not associate with a woman that uses abortion as birth control. I also would not tell her she's a bad person. I think she has the right, I just find it repugnant.
This is not just a theory to me. When my son's mother became pregnant (the method of birth control simply failed, it happens) she talked about getting an abortion. Everytime it was mentioned my entire chest locked up and I felt cold. When asked my how I felt I told her that I'd rather she not, but it was her choice to make. In the end we broke up and I got custody, by her agreement. Point is I believe it's the woman's choice, even when it is my fetus.
As for late-term abortions, as Jag said it's rare. When it does happen it is almost never just an arbitrary decision but a medical one. Like something went wrong and the mothers health is in extreme danger. Also there are very few legitimate doctors willing to do them for any other reason.
