| I agree with a lot of your guy's points. It is very clear that abortion is something that will never be "solved", and many people may think so, but it is not black and white. There is no right answer and there is not simply one answer. I could never categorize myself as simply "prochoice" or "prolife". It would be atrocious to think that people have sex with abortion in mind, as a backup plan, that is why I am not 100% prochoice. I am not 100% prolife either, becasue I knoe that things are unexpected, and some things in life are impossible to control.
Personally, I think that the mere fact that there is a life and death risk to having a baby should be enough to argue that it is the womans choice whether or not to keep it. But as mentioned, the woman should be responsible and make decisions that agree with this. I agree very much with GrhmLz about if there is a consensus, it comes down to responsibility.
In a perfect world, all the decisions should be on a person by person basis. But we all know that is impossible. So for now, we are just going to have to settle with staying gre. 
Many people get heated in this debate, but I really don't care which side you fall on this issue. You are free to have your own opinion. The only thing I ask is that you just be consistant with your beliefs. I know people who are against abortion but support the death penalty. You say that you value life, yet you pick and choose which type of life has value. I think that that is not right. If you don't believe in abortion, that is great but just be consistant and fight to the death to protect every law that applies. But you can't hop on top of the fence and play both sides, that is what creates the black and white areas in our grey world..
