I'm a woman and am 95% pro choice. The 5% of me that is against it is where a woman/couple chooses to use abortion as a form of birth control.
In my late teens, I knew a woman who was in a "friends with benefits" relationship with a guy who didn't like the feel of condoms, so they regularly had unprotected sex. that I know of, she got pregnant twice by him and had an abortion both times as neither of them wanted to be parents at that point.
That being said, it should still be a decision between one or both parents to make, not a government mandated or religious ruling. I would rather see unwanted pregnancies terminated rather than the child be born and then neglected or abused.
