okay, maybe I should re-phrase that because my answer is quite complicated

I believe that once a child is conceived it is a living being (i.e. that life does not just start at giving birth and I'm aware that people disagree with that thinking) - however I also know that no situation is ever easy and I don't deny the right of a woman to choose (but taking the above belief into account I think it shouldn't be taken easy) ... I know that it's not all black and white as the lines seem to be drawn in this argument - life is not either / or

I also think that with the privilege of choice (the woman has that, the fetus has no choice either way) comes responsibility

So I can support a right to choose and at the same time also believe the fetus should have a right to live - it's an individual weighing up, using the woman in the video and Palin's daughter for example: I have more understanding for the woman aborting the child conceived in rape than the one who conceived because she'd not educated herself in birth control

(to put this into perspective, this is a very emotional and personal issue, I think that children are not to be taken for granted - it took me six years to conceive and it was not an easy pregnancy, he came early and nearly died within the first few dasy, so it does upset me if people assume that it's easy to just have a child because they now decide to - which is in some ways related to therefore aborting one)

gosh, this is a long comment and I hope I'm making a bit more sense than that short comment earlier did
