You can't base your whole argument around extreme examples because they don't hold true to everyday life. Very few people go 'Oh don't bother using a condom, I can just go for an abortion LOL', most of the time it's an agonizing choice that has to be made and a decision that will live with the woman forever.

It'd be interesting to see if your own convictions would hold up if you were faced with the choice.

The only grey area I would concede is when there is good reason to believe the mother's life is in jeopardy. Other than that and rape, I just can't understand how they could go through with such an unnatural and horrific process as abortion when adoption is a perfectly available option. And frankly that's the only humane option. If adoption was not a possibility, I would at least be able to see where people on this thread were coming from. Still maybe not agree with them but at least see where they're coming from.

And I actually am very much in favor of people's bodily freedom, men and women. I'm very Libertarian, hence the name. I think on all body issues, save this one, I'd probably fall into the bodily freedom camp. I think illegal drugs should be made legal. Heck, I think women should be allowed to walk around topless if they want to. But this is the one exception I make because it potentially involves someone else's life.
