I think people should, in general, choose not to have abortions

47. I appreciate your response

You are responding to what I said instead of just telling me I should shut up and keep my opinions to myself.

I would note that in public or in a generalized setting I would probably keep this opinion to myself; while I do have an opinion there's no reason to interject into a general policy discussion as it would add little. The most important thing is to stress that it should be a woman's choice without the Government sticking their nose in and putting up roadblocks.

But DU is a community - and one that should have room for difference of opinion on this issue at this level. I think anybody who wants to legally restrict abortion should probably go somewhere else, but I think there is room for people who are have different opinions on what an abortion means. To me it's a bit more like discussing something around the dinner table, as opposed to discussing it out in the open. We should be able to say what we think here (within reason).

But once again thanks for your thoughtful post.
