Intelligent people know that the abortion debate has been around since it's inception. Some strongly believe it is murder (which calls upon intent), others, like me, believe it is a horrible choice to make, and take responsibility - it's between a woman, her doctor and God. At least it IS a choice, and the government will not prosecute those who perform them. Thus, it is NOT ILLEGAL. What is left then is a religious/moral argument. I've had 2 AB's. I regret getting myself in the position to have to make that choice. I could not have taken care of the baby, and did not choose to go 9 months and adopt out.
