'Pro-Choice' Americans At Record Low, Poll Finds

[Proud Liberal Dem]

33. I think most people are troubled by abortion and most probably would have a hard time choosing it

OTOH most of us recognize instinctively that our choices don't have to/shouldn't be other people's choices and that it's not up to us to demand that our government police other people's reproductive organs and make their family planning decisions for them. Also, I don't think that most of us would want to see the women in our lives (our mothers, sisters, daughters, et. al) be left without a choice to terminate a pregnancy if continuing with the pregnancy might threaten their health and possibly even their life. I'm sure that most people, contrary to what some anti-abortion folks suggest, don't treat abortion lightly and most of us would (rightly) agonize over the decision if we were facing the possibility of an unplanned pregnancy and/or medical complications as a result of pregnancy. However, when all is said and done, what right do the rest of us have to play doctor, God, et. al with other people's lives? What right do the rest of us have to demand government to do it?
