Four Sides of Abortion

There are a lot of different opinions on abortion-some are strongly against it, others are all for it, and others are somewhere in between. Now according to dictionary.reference.com the definition of abortion is: Induced termination of a pregnancy with destruction of the embryo or fetus. Which isn't quite as barbaric as it sounds. It basically means that the fetus or embryo is removed and disposed of. Details of how it is disposed of will not be mentioned.

World: Abortions per year - Approximately 42 million
Per day - 115,000
United States:

52% of women are under 25. Women between 20-24 have 32%
Those are the statisitics.
There are a lot of opinions on abortion, the four most common basically being:
- For it.
- Against it.
- Somewhere in between the first two.
- Neutral or no opinion.
They're all pretty straight foward.
For the first one, for it, usually means that they think it should be the woman's choice. It's not a matter of death or life, it's a matter of the woman's thoughts, nothing else. Their thoughts are that the women should have a choice and no one should be able to make it for them, although there are some people that believe that the fetus isn't really living and that there really isn't a problem aborting the unborn child.
The second, against it, think that it's a living child and that it deserves to live just as much as any other person. They consider it a living thing and no matter what the child should be born, even if it was only going to go up for adoption. Most think that abortion is evil and goes against God.
The third, somewhere in between the first two is the middle man in a way. For them it all depends on the situation, they don't necessarily support it but they aren't all against it. A lot tend to think that it would be great if abortion was gone, but if we don't have hospitals or clinics to have the procedure done more women will try to do it themselves and in the end the unborn child and woman could die. This is what I am.
The fourth, neutral or no opinion, just tend to stay out of it. If it doesn't happen directly to them or someone they know they won't get involved, and there's nothing wrong with that.
