I believe that abortion is killing a life. That being said, I am definetly pro-choice. Because *I* believe abortion is killing a life doesn't mean everybody does. And you can't say "pro-life" and then make exceptions, even for rape, incest, etc. If you are making those exceptions, then you are pro-choice, even if you label yourself as pro-life.
It is too much of a grey area for absolutes. Pro-life is an absolute. You do not kill the unborn baby. Pro-choice allows for the grey area. You are given the choice, in whatever circumstances you find yourself, to handle the situation as you see fit, as you need to do.
And as far as having kids, if you don't want kids, you shouldn't have kids. It doesn't make you less of a woman, or whatever. That's just dumb. Having kid(s) is a huge responsibility that you shouldn't get into unless you really really want it. Because trust me, I really really wanted it, and some days, I'm still like, "GAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" There are times that it's wonderful, don't get me wrong, but if it's not what you want, it's not what you want.
