Abortion

[politicallefty]

I consider myself to be solidly pro-choice, supporting President Clinton's "safe, legal, and rare" approach and the decision in Roe v. Wade. I will admit that I do find myself morally opposed to it personally, but I think the ultimate decision is the woman's and that she should have the choice with respect to her own body. With that said, I can't say that I support federal funding for abortion expect in specific cases (i.e. health/life of mother, incest, rape). In any other case, I think it's an elective procedure and I tend not to support coverage in many of those instances. On the other hand, I am vehemently opposed to Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood despite the possibility of federal funds going to abortion. That is completely unacceptable to me.
