This report isn't gonna please anyone on the religious right, let me tell you, but it will definitely help the pro-choice side of the debate.
I'm clearly pro-choice.
A woman shouldn't be forced to have a baby if she doesn't want to. This is not the Middle Ages.
I'm sorry, every life is worthy of utmost respect, but that should include the woman's life too, which gets changed forever by motherhood. And if the woman isn't ready or doesn't want that change to happen, she shouldn't be forced to, she should be allowed to opt out of it.
The argument that she should have thought about it before having sex or that she shouldn't have sex outside of wedlock if she doesn't want to risk becoming pregnant is idiotic, and it only underscores how far out of the mainstream pro-lifers who make it really are.
Why don't they ever tell the man who has sex with the woman that becomes pregnant that now he has to marry her and care for her and their baby, since he's responsible too? And that if he doesn't like it, he should have tought about it before having sex!!
