Default abortion is merely a side issue of personal choice

I am Pro-Choice and agree that a woman has domain over her own body and whatever is inside of it, but there are many who disagree with that and I haven't seen too many people who have switched sides on this issue.

Improved and more effective contraceptives and genetic research into identfying causes of handicaps etc will help to remove many of the "needs" for abortions.

I will always support "Pro Choice" not because I relish or have any comfort with the matter of abortion but because "sovereignty of the individual" is paramount in my personal ethic and value system. Remove individual sovereignty and we are reduced to mere chattels of the State - and we fought the 2 world wars and a cold war to prevent that.
