Let me start off by saying I’m in favor of legal abortion. Actually, I really think in some cases abortion should be allowed up to the age of 18. (I know some really bad kids. 
) What I’m not in favor of is paying for someone else’s mistake. If you don’t want a kid, take precautions. Condoms and birth control pills don’t cost that much and I wouldn’t mind my taxes going to pay for them for someone that really can’t afford it.
What I really object to is someone having an abortion just because the baby happened to be the wrong sex or had the wrong hair color or something. The so called designer babies. That, to me is really wrong. Also, abortions of convenience is not good either. Such as gee, my hubby and I really want kids but it was just a bad time right now, if we keep this baby we won’t be able to afford that great vacation we were planning.
On the other hand if someone becomes pregnant through no fault of her own, then abortion should be legal. If a woman is raped she should not be forced to carry the baby. That, to me would be cruel and unusual punishment for a crime she didn’t commit. I can also see an abortion if the chosen birth control method failed. No pill is 100% effective and condoms can have defects.
So, I guess I’m saying each case is different, it should be left to the woman, her doctor, and her God, if she has one. If the pregnancy is likely to kill the woman then by all means abort. If someone or some thing were going to kill me I would do my best to kill them or it first.
