As as already been mentioned by others in this thread, a lot of us pro-choice folks don't see an unborn fetus and a human adult as the same thing.
Would I try to stop you from killing yourself in the situation you described? Maybe, maybe not. I don't believe suicide is a good answer for depression.
Does that make me a hypocrite?
Well, there are pro-choice people out there who would never have an abortion. There are pro-choice people who believe late term abortion is wrong, but think other women should still have that choice.
Yeah, you should have the right to do whatever you want, even if it means killing yourself. I don't agree with it, but it's your life.

I think both sides have valid points but there is a huge difference between taking your own life and aborting a fetus.
Women are going to have abortions regardless of what the laws are I don't think that will ever change.
I guess that's part of the issue with the pro life crowd. It's easy to tell someone else how they should live.
Kind of like liberals telling people to keep taking more money from the rich (or repubs taking from the poor). It's easy to spend somebody elses money.
Then dont have sex!!! its a simple as that...everyone knows what happens when you willingly have sex....it could lead to pregnancy...If you dont want a kid...dont have sex...if you dont want a kid and still want sex...use protection...and remember that it is not garenteed that you will not get preggo...
Its simple...life + Choices = consequence/responsebility...allowing abortions is a way out of those consequences/responsebilities.
Oh, isn't life simple....just stop having sex.
Have ya noticed that for the last 10,000 years people have NOT stopped having sex? Do you really think that will happen now? Really?
The last crop of mushrooms must've been really powerful!
I assume that all the anti-choice men have stopped having sex????
Fracturedman what a nic. Abortion is legal. What you suggest about rape is so old.
I find it so interesting so many men have such negative opinions about abortion.

That's because it's not their bodies and men for so long had the right to speak for women that I think they now sometimes forget. We can , vote ,speak freely and do what we damn well choose with our bodies. Let's start men castrating men at puberty after a sperm sample is taken ( for future childern) , and see how well that goes over. Personally, to me that sounds like a reasonable solution to abortion. If men can't have sex then there is no chance of accidental pregnancy. OK, all you men who want to tell me what to do/don't with my body, my turn. LINE UP! See how it feels when you have your rights taken away! Ouch!

Great post !!! Doncha wonder how many of these anti-choice men have had a vasectomy??? (Now watch, they'll all say they did)
All men will not stop having sex, get a vasectomy, quit raping anything they can get their hands on and will STILL keep yelling about abortion because...
making it illegal CONTROLS WOMEN.....and their greatest fear is having women in control...even if it's only the control of their own bodies.
Why do you think so many man were opposed to women getting the vote? Same thing.
The law does NOT view all fetuses as "children". Not the case. Very specific circumstances for the situation you are quoting and only in certain states...
Well there should be a screening process the woman has to go through - so it shouldn't be so easy as throwing trash...If she is given all her options she might not make such an easy decision... Moreover, i wonder how versed she was regarding birth control options. As for your friend, it is in his best interest to get to know a girl before getting her pregnant .. thus use a condom before marriage or practice abstinence....
They do give you all your options when you obtain an abortion, and you in fact sign a piece of paper stating such.
I suggest that, pertaining to suicide as mentioned earlier, the conservatives are of the prevent your suicide so you could suffer longer, school. As far as abortion goes they are of the , how dare the livestock deprive me of another child to own, mentality.
Which is exactly why you are all against Universal health Care, huh? So this person would not be able to get the help they want or need.
Stupid CONservatives.
Conservatives dont care about you after you are born unless you are ready to die for oil!
Wow. You'll be able to hold your own in high school next year for sure!
A little advice. Try to using the brain instead of running 100% off of emotions.
