[Hallelujah]

I do believe that everyone should have the choice in certain situations. Ruling out abortion completely would put some people in awful situations - imagine how a rape victim would feel giving birth to their rapist's baby? In some personal situations, having a baby is the worst possible thing - some parents simply cannot cope and the child is left in a position where things can quickly turn out very bad. I think if the mother has a genuine reason as to why the pregnancy should be aborted then it should be allowed, but there could maybe be an evaluative system set up where the case can be discussed beforehand.

In an ideal world, every child would have the right to life, but unfortunately we live in a generation where children are born into abusive, unloving homes or desperate poverty, and to be honest, what kind of a life is that? I'm not saying we're ones to judge if they should live, but I do think there should be some limitations on the complete riddance of abortions.

I also believe there should be a limit introduced as to how many abortions are allowed, seeing as what I've said I think would work will never happen. If anything, it should be one unless in exceptional circumstances. I've seen in the news before where lasses consider it a method of contraception - why use condoms when you can just terminate? - and to me that is out of order. A message needs putting across that abortion is for the most desperate of situations.

My point - we can't judge people who have abortions unless we know the exact circumstances. Personally I'm against them, but everyone is entitled to a choice of opinion.
