"anyone who has seen a partial birth abortion cannot claim that it involves no child abuse and thus is a better alternative than being born."
Even if the child is already dead? It's my understanding that very few women get these done, and it's not because they waited until the last minute to make a decision about whether to have the child or not...I thought usually it's because there's very serious health risks that point or a dead fetus.
I can understand why people would be pro-life. I was. But when I read about the wide range of circumstances, I definitely lean toward more pro-choice. I'm not sure I'd want to be told what to do, and my circumstances/decisions/religious views/etc. aren't the same as someone else's so I'm hesitant to impose my worldview especially at a legislative level. Areas of the country that are deeply religious would just probably be unlikely to have abortion areas of the hospitals/clinics due to no demand and likely I guess areas like more metro cities would.
