In a perfect world, I would agree with the millions of lobbying pro-life supporters. If every single woman in the world had enough money and time and was healthy enough to provide their child with the support that they need to survive then yes-abortions should be completely out of the question. Unfortunately, we don't live in a place like that. We live in a world full of rape, poverty and ironically...freedom. By telling a rape victim or a single teen mother that it is illegal to make a decision that could ultimately lead to a better life for the mother goes entirely against the basis of America. Everyone has the right to make their own decisions and no one has the right to judge them or ban them for doing so. For instance, if a woman is raped and knows that every time she looks at her child, she will see the man that raped her, why would anyone in their right mind tell her to go ahead and have the child? I'm sorry but I don't understand how the pro-life arguement would hold up against a situation such as that. I've a firm supporter of Roe vs. Wade because America is not a Utopia and everyone has the right to choice.
