I voted For. But the poll should have been pro-choice not pro-abortion cz the latter implies favoring abortion over childbirht..
The right to Abortion is a WOMAN's RIGHT, "the RIGHT TO CHOOSE", an important women's health right and a PRIVATE & personal decision to be taken only by the concerned woman. Who are we to judge the pg woman situation and decide whether or not she can be granted the permission to abort.
Legislation doesn't create morality. Prohibition did not stir moral outrage against drinking or drugs and it will not make teenagers more careful. it is all in the education... but as society still fails our youth in terms of sexual education and as contraception/birth control methods are not 100% reliable , should the teenage girl pay for a stupid mistake (because naturally the guy will not have to assume any consequences) or pay for a contraception that didn't work. Moreover should a woman that suffered from rape or incest pay the double price! Isn't It ENOUGH?!
Women that chose abortion, were not irresponsible or "fickle". Women do not go sleep around without any morality and refuse to assume responsabilities for their actions! Give us more credit then That!!!
Abortion is not a spa-day, it is a very painful operation, so if a woman makes this choice it is not because it's the easiest solution but cz it is A Necessary One...
Laws have never stopped abortion, but only relegated it to back-street butchers in countries where abortion is illegal (or in rare and lucky cases where qualified MDs perform abortion "sous le manteau") hence putting women's lifes in danger. a legal abortion would allow this operation to be performed in hospitals under the care of qualified personel.
Access to Abortion is a matter of responsibility, CHoice and Right
