Anyone else on here both solidly on the left and anti-abortion? (user search)

It's an interesting one - as I've said my view has changed.

I think in the case of otherwise healthy pregnancies anything beyond the first trimester should require a medically valid reason. You know you're pregnant by 12 weeks... if you don't... you shouldn't be breeding anyway.

I think what's clear from the response for the 'no exception' pro-life people is that men really shouldn't get involved unless its their own family. I think none of you have known a woman who was raped... is it the foetus' fault? no - but the woman had no choice in getting pregnant... if there was no choice in the pregnancy, I believe it's a fair right.

Equally, as someone with a severe genetic disorder in the family, I fully support the right of parents to abort when it's clear such a disorder exists. Downs Syndrome and other disorders that will allow a relatively full and productive life are not grounds for abortion in my mind... this particular disorder has no motor development beyond about 8 months old - and ends up with dismilenation of the nerves and a slow death by self-suffocation - I saw one cousin I was very close to die at 15, and there are two more in the family with it.

So, I think it's important to base your views on reality, not what some book tells you.

It's about personal responsibility, but it also has to be about choice... but that's my own personal view - and would never seek to force it on anyone... unlike some.

.... I've said this before.... and I believe it very strongly...

If you're pro-life, but don't support comprehensive sex-education - you're an utter hypocrite.
