I'm in full agreement with you on the matter of extreme cases like rape. I understand that incest and threats to the life of the mother during pregnancy are two other situations that would justify the procedure. That abortion might be used as some kind of convenient 'out' after a wild night (or many such nights) with one's mate makes me ill. Our brains are large enough to supply us with the sense to undertake preventative measures when we engage in sexual relations. And there lies a problem with religious conservatives - they try to ban the contraceptives that can both prevent unwanted pregnancy and hinder the spread of STD's. Their reasoning, that abstinence is a workable solution for everyone, is flawed. Their attempts to force that solution on others is counter to their moral stance.

An all out war stance on anything religious or topics like abortion is not what Jesus was about. It's a hard situation and each time should be taken with lots of compassion and understanding. I'm tired...i'm going to sleep now. it’s situational really.

However, I feel that if someone else wants to it is between them and God (or whatever they believe in). I would be morally uncomfortable with terminating a pregnancy, but as you said, the word force is the problem here. I would not want to force a woman NOT to have an abortion. It's totally her life and her decision. I don't know what circumstances exist in her life that may have led to that decision, and try as I might, I just can't be judgmental about it. I guess "Live and Let Live" sums it up. I was the subject of ridicule in a philosophy class that I took because I had this viewpoint, but I don't care.
