I would assume of course it does, but could you ever imagine having an abortion after having a baby?  
I'm real pro-choice I have had an abortion before but I think if I was to have a baby I would completely change my opinion. I just wondered about the opinion of the mommas :D

You're a hypocrite then. I don't want kids, but my opinion wouldn't change if I DID have one.

I just think that having a baby and holding it and knowing that you created that life and watch it grow inside you, I know I personally would never be able to look at abortion the same

why not? Have you never seen a baby before? Surely you have, and yet you're still pro-choice. I don't see much difference, besides the fact that you would be thinking of it as YOURS, like a possessive/ownership thing.

I am pro-choice. I would never have an other abortion. I had one when I was 19 and it still haunts me.  But, I will not judge anyone who has an abortion because thats their life. (its a different story if you have a lot  abortions and use it like birth control)

It didn't. But My opinion has always been that abortion should be illegal. And that is just my opinion because I feel like if you had sex, you know what could be the consequences and there shouldn't be and easy way out. If you can't take care of the baby, then you can put it up for adoption where it will be taken care of, but it just makes me mad when young girls have abortions, because there are so many people out there that can't have children and never will be able to.. and those who put up their babies for adoptions instead of have an abortion; their baby gets a loving home and a chance at life.

Having a change in opinion doesn't make a person a hypocrite.  Feeling differently about something because a personal experience is normal.  I am personally against abortion in most cases, but that doesn't mean that given a certain situation even if I had a child that I might decide that having an abortion is the right decision etc.

My husband and I want kids.  We can potentially not have one.  It kills me to see people abort.  Although it is their choice it breaks my heart.  I may never be able to get pregnant and those who can take it for granted.  The world just isn't fair.  Those who want children sometimes cannot have them, and people that never want, or should never have children have tons of them.  I now someone who has had 3 abortions in the time that I have been married.  I would have loved to be pregnant just once, forget three times.

The same here. I was so pro-life before having my first son and after I had him I was more pro-choice because I saw what people actually had to deal with after the birth of a child. It wouldnt 'be the right decision for me personally but I think for alot of people it is the best decision. I think this is mostly because with Enrique I had alot of problems throughout and after the pregnancy. I got pregnant on bc, I had pre-eclampsia, was in labor for 72 hours, ended up having a C-section, and major post-partum depression. To go through all that just to give the baby up seems a bit pointless especially when the pre-eclampsia just about reached eclampsia because my liver function was down quite a bit. Sometimes pregnancy is just dangerous.

I've always been pro-life, and I still am. I honestly believe that abortion is stupid. There are so many people who would love to have a baby, and they just can't. I mean, before you have an abortion, open up your local newspaper, and check out the adoption ads. I could never give up my own baby, and holding Kairi for the first time just made that feeling so much stronger.
