I like Charlie Crist's opinion on abortion:
Try to change hearts, not laws on this issue. Try to give women all the access they need to abortion facilities but at the same time make sure they are given the opportunity for adoption, etc. Increase funding for adoption as well as Planned Parenthood, which does a very good job (from what I understand) in terms of educating women on all their options, of which adoption, abortion, and assistance with/planning for taking care of the child whichever the mother chooses.
But at the same time, abortions in the third trimester, and sometimes even in the second are questionable. I know that they constituted a very small percentage of abortions prior to the Partial Term Abortion Act in 2003 - obviously there should be exceptions in the case of endangerment to life of the mother, but by this point in the pregnancy the mother should probably have determined her plan of action when it comes to terminating the pregnancy, which should be done, prior to the development of the fetus' sensory organs
