Doctors will have to resort to more rudimentary operations which will inevitably endanger the mother. Right now abortion is safe. Think of that coat hanger, do women deserve that?
Frog, you say it's women's rights vs. fetal rights....... but the fetus is not an independent, competent being. I am a woman, I am a human, I am an individual. Why deny me a right to my OWN body?

I think that in the end what you said is the most important point. I don't feel trhe Gov't or anyone for that matter has the right to tell a woman she has to bear a child. That's why i am Pro-Choice, it's a matter of respecting people's opinions. If you are against abortion, cool, don't have one then. But don't hate or stop people who don't carry the same beliefs as you. I've never heard someone say they are Pro-Abortion. People who are Pro-Choice respect just that, choice. Everyone has the right to choose. You make your choice, I make mine. We respect each others right to do so.
