Friend,
You may not realize it but how you described your beliefs - you are Pro-Choice! Congratulations! Lots of Pro-Choice people feel the same way you feel. They are against abortion themselves but realize it is the personal choice for each woman to make herself.
You agree that it is a very personal choice and one that the mother has to make between herself and God. Yes, education and counseling are both good to have when making the decision - but ultimately, the decision is the CHOICE of the pregnant woman - not the ruling of legislators.

Well, call me whatever you want, but I am pro-life. I would always choice life and would encourage anyone who came to me for advice to do the same. What I was am saying was, ULTIMATELY it is between the person and God. It is not something you can force another person to do or not. From my perspective, when God creates, He does not make mistakes no matter how the child was conceived.
I will agree with you on one thing though, that this should not be a political issue - it is a moral and ethical issue. I have said in other threads that the use of abortion as a means of birth control has gotten totally out of hand. The disregard for life by way of abortion on demand is an abomination to me. I'm not so sure many pro-choice people would feel as I do.
