I do have a problem with that and consider that weak.
Keep in mind, as I keep trying to reiterate, not all women who do it are weak. Only those who give up without really trying. There's a distinct difference and that's why I said I don't think it should be illegal, only reserved for the extreme cases....
But, guess for you abortion just means any case without trying anything else first? Not using it as the last choice if necessary.
You say it's as deeply personal for you, but what you continue to avoid is how. Just cuz'? That's not as deep as it running through your blood. Now if you were an adoptee, orphan, or your parents told you that they were considering abortion or giving you away when you were a baby - you don't have as strong a connection as everyone else. A connection? Yes, maybe, perhaps. But it would in no way reach the level of the groups of people I just named.

I'm sorry but I think being a woman is a pretty damn strong connection. You see here's where we differ. I don't believe that an embryo is a person, I don't believe it is a human being, and therefore I do not factor it's feelings (since it doesn't have any) into the situation. That might seem harsh to you but it's what I believe because it's what the basic development facts tell me. At the time that the majority of abortions occur the "child" is in the embryotic stage, or the very beginnings of the fetal stage, and to me that is not a person and should not get more rights than a very alive very much person that is carrying that embryo.
Here's an analogy I like. Of course it only works if you don't think that illegal immagrants deserve the same rights as legal citizens. But here we go would you give the same rights to an illegal citizen as a legal one, even if the illegal citizen is going through the process of becoming a citizen do you give them those rights before they are one? I wouldn't because they are not a legal citizen and they are not the same.
Listen we will never agree because we differ on the "rights of the embryo/fetus" But I will always win because abortion will never be illegal again.
