I want the world wake, I want to give you peace. I want to vindicate, you need to be released.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the very sensitive subject of abortion, and what my stance on it is.  See, I'm very much for the freedom of the individual, provided that the individual doesn't impede the rights of others.  That fits against the Pro-Choice argument, because "All life is sacred".  But this doesn't seem to constitute animals at all, only fetuses.

Not only that, but is a fetus a human life, while still in the womb?  It has no capability to survive by itself, it needs the mother's nutrients and body to survive, which puts it in the parasite column.  We kill parasites all the time in nature, so why is this any different?

After a lot of thinking, I came to the conclusion that I'm entirely pro choice, the choice going to the mother.  However, I'm actually pro abortion in some cases.  For example, if the life of the mother is in danger, like a younger girl.  If only one is going to come out of that, I'd prefer it be the mother, personally.  And if both would die, then why make them go through it?  I realize abortion has it's problems, but the chance to continue living is something I feel is important.  Is it fair to let a woman die, in exchange for a tabula rasa child, with no knowledge of it's own possible destruction?
