There are people who just flat out are opposed to abortion, who thinks it's immoral no matter the situation.

I'm going to take my downvote whuppin' and cop to the above. I'm one of those.

I don't believe abortion should be illegal. I think it should be safe, legal, and freely available to anyone who wants one. And I'm not religious and I sure as hell don't believe it's murder. I mean, we're talking about a blob of cells. Equating that to a full-blown human being is ridiculous.

However, I also happen to think that anyone who would actually have an abortion (except to save their own life) is a piece of human excrement who should hang their head in shame for the rest of their worthless days.

I don't care how sympathetic your circumstances are. Other than to save your own life, you are never going to convince me that abortion is an acceptable, moral solution. It may not be murder, but there is something unspeakably repugnant to me about snuffing out what is essentially an unique human being at its earliest stage of development. I find it abhorrent.

So, yeah, if OP's boyfriend is like me, that's it. In his shoes, the relationship would be over the second I found out she had a non-medically necessary abortion. I would never look at her as a decent person after that ever again.

There is no magic words she could say that would suddenly make me decide abortion is sometimes okay. That's not going to happen.

P.S. I never know whether to label myself pro-life or pro-choice. I think abortion should be legal for any reason, but I also think people who get abortions are scum. So what does that make me? Besides an asshole, I mean.
