Although I understand Taylors view of how a man has a right to his child too, I do agree that in the end, in the law, it is only up to a woman. It is her body at the end of the day, and if she wishes to take a life that is half of his, she will live out the consequences in their relationship.
I am against abortion 100%, I believe it is murder; However I do not think it should be illegal. This is an issue I struggle greatly with because it is not as black and white as Pro Choice and Pro Life, and that seems to be what everyone wants it to be.
Making it illegal not only will not stop abortion, but I bet within 20 years you will see a rise in illegal-abortion related deaths, infertility in those who sought an abortion and had one, etc.
Although I do not agree that it should be a womans choice to end the life of a child, it IS her choice. I would never ever make it, but I can only speak for myself and my body.
Making it illegal hurts more than it saves in the long run.
