What a completely ridiculous, irrational assumption.

These threads/discussions are pointless, because in most cases neither side will have a change of mind. These threads are only started for argument's sake.
If thats what you think, then why are you bothering to respond?

Agreed. Abortion is an extremely personal decision and one not taken lightly by the majority.

I do not think one is immoral if they support abortion.

I think one is immoral if they bring a child into the world and do not nurture, love and care for the child. That is immoral.

That is where I see the OP (and the thread title) as poorly worded as well. I don't 'support abortion'. I support a woman's right to choose abortion if she thinks it's best for her. But I would attempt to argue any friend or family member out of it, if given that chance.

I'm the OP.

And I support abortion.

I would be devastated and my life would be ruined if I became a parent.

I think about this from my point of view. I know how devastated some people would be if they had a baby, so I support abortion.

Ok, here is the dilema. This faced women in concentration camps and faces women in today in parts of the world. A woman is pregnant and knows her child will be murdered upon birth. Is abortion still wrong? Or is it OK to have the baby thrown up on the air and used for target practice?

No method of birth control is 100% effective, and just because most anti-abortion folks are people that others wouldn't want to have sex with anyway, that doesn't give them the right to tell others they must be abstinent or face the consequences.
Exactly. Birth control is not foolproof.

I hate when people say "use birth control if you don't want a baby"

What if the birth control fails?

It's not fair to pro-choice people if we limit where they live.

Why should pro-choice people be driven out of a state where they would otherwise like to live?
