This sentence and the explanation that follows are one of the more blantant examples of pro-abortion spin that I've seen in a long time. When the three choices are 1. abortion always illegal, 2. abortion illegal under certain circumstances, and 3. abortion always legal, even many people in the anti-abortion movement choose the second option. I believe that abortion should be allowed if the pregnancy is a real and serious medical threat to the mother's life or health. I also believe that a woman who is impregnated during rape should not have to carry the baby forced on her by the rapist. However, even with these two exceptions, the laws that I would most favor would prohibit over 95% of all abortions. To say that I am "philosophically pro-choice" is wishful thinking on the part of the pro-abortion crowd.
From other polls, I've heard that Americans are split about half and half on whether abortion is acceptable. Most seem to think that it isn't a good thing no matter what but that it shouldn't be illegal. I think they haven't considered whether the unborn child is a person and whether there are any justifiable grounds for taking that person's life. If more people considered the evidence, I think they would recognize that the unborn child is a person and oppose legalized abortion in almost all cases. I can see how that point gets obscured in the name-calling on both sides, but people need to look at the issue more closely and ignore the personalities.
In either case, the guy who wrote this piece has slanted the issue horribly.
