Personally, I am against abortions as a contraceptive method. What do I mean by that? Here is my opinion. If a woman was raped, I am OK with her getting an abortion. If a young girl gets pregnant because of incest with her father, uncle, grandfather, I am OK with abortion. If a woman’s life is at risk if she keeps the baby, I am OK with abortion. 

But a 19-year-old, going to some party at college, who falls in “love” with a guy, goes back to his place (or hers), has sex and gets pregnant, I am sorry, I am against it. 

Women love to claim, “My body, my choice,” but you made the choice to have sex. If you didn’t want to get pregnant, then how about learning to use the word, “no?” If you have sex, get pregnant and want an abortion, then do it on your dime, not mine. Pay for it. 

I don’t think doctors should be arrested for performing abortions. It’s not right. If someone has an abortion, I would rather a professional medical person do the procedure.
