Otherwise, stick your nose into someone else's business.
I'm a woman, despite my screen name, although in my late 60s somewhat too old to have to worry about a personal abortion. Like any woman, I can envision circumstances in which I'd abort an unwanted/unplanned pregnancy, and others in which I would not. But those are MY choices, not anyone else's.
None of us is EVER in a position to judge someone else. Ever. Think of every possible circumstance (rape, incest, Down Syndrome, other genetic anomalies, and on and on.) and there are some who'd choose to have the baby, others who would choose not. Neither choice is morally superior to the other. I repeat: neither choice is morally superior. It is just a choice.
Oh, and what outrages me even more, is that those most opposed to choice are equally opposed to supporting unwanted/unplanned pregnancies, babies with various special needs, or even the simple support of a woman through her pregnancy. Hypocrisy, thy name is anti-choice.
