I guess I wasn't intending to discuss the rightness or wrongness of abortion, what I was trying to point out was even if someone makes a certain poor decision, I don't feel they should have to make the same decision that someone else would. For some people having an abortion just isn't an option, no matter how stupid or careless or poorly thought out their decision was, and no matter how often they repeat it.
I understand what you're getting at with taking responsibility beforehand, and I agree to a large extent, but sometimes life just doesn't work out like that and people have values that even if they took risks knowing what might happen. If a woman never wants to have an abortion, that's fine by me, even if she makes a poor decision, even if she repeatedly makes them, if it's something she just cannot do, then she does have other choices she can make. If she complains about it, well stiff shit, unless she was a dribbling moron she knew the consequences beforehand.
IIN that I don't understand this logic to not get an abortion...
