Abortion simply cannot be illegal because of a number of common cases, both crimes and for medical reasons. There a number of relatively well known medical conditions that can result in the mother's life being saved if an abortion occurs, otherwise they would both die. That, and I support abortion because I do believe it is a right for couples to decide. They shouldn't be forced, and if the pro-life people really cared about babies, why do they attempt to block contraception (seen and discussed in a number of states)? Contraception lowers abortion levels, and yet I read about a number of bills dis-encourage, or even attempting to block it (IIRC Arizona did this), not to mention the dumb saying going around "having sex=risk having a baby, no exceptions, because I said so". Really, a lot of the legislation comes down to blocking women's right, hence the contraception dis-encouragement I have read about in the Bible Belt. Therefore,[b] by your logic[/b], anyone against abortion is not only a pro-baby slayer, but also a pro-mother slayer.
