This poll is for pro-choicers only - those who believe that abortion should be legal, whether on demand at any stage, or in some lesser degree. If you believe abortion should be legal in the event of rape, incest, or the life/health of the mother, you are pro-choice for purposes of this poll.
I'm not sure how to do a poll, so I'll just put it right here.
When does human life begin? Over the years the following answers have been proposed. Please choose one:
1. Conception.
2. 12 weeks.
3. Detectable brain activity.
4. Sentience.
5. Viability.
6. Beginning of birth process.
7. End of birth process.
8. Whenever the mother "feels" that her embryo is a human life.
Again, this poll is for pro-choicers only! Please don't vote if you're pro-life!

Its not for me to decide for anyone other then me.
I believe in a free country, where people are free to make their own decision.
My own personal view is viability. Its certainly not conception, if it were conception then "life expectancy" will have to dramatically drop, because about 40 to 60% of fertilized eggs, never attach to the womb wall and are passed in a woman's monthly cycle.
An individual human life begins at conception. Only an idiot would disagree.
Death begins at conception. Only an idiot would disagree.

Pro-Life? You mean christian, don't you?
I am pro-life, but I also agree with the US Supreme Court that death is the absence of brain-waves in the cerebral cortex. Conversely, life begins with the presence of brain-waves in the cerebral cortex, and that happens around the 12th-14th week.
I have no problem with abortion in the 1st trimester, but after that, when the fetus exhibits brain-waves and is a sentient being, aware of its existence, you have to call it what it is....murder.
Legally...

Fine, then they can pay 100% of the costs for their own decisions as well.
The minute they start taking my money to pay for their decisions, they just gave me the right to decide.
Can't have it both ways...."It's my decision.....everybody bail me out."
I would rather have taxes pay for legal abortions than either welfare or warfare.
But no federal dollars go to pay for abortions. The Hyde amendment restricts that.
