Pro-Life, also Pro-Choice

A moment of honesty:
I wish no one ever needed an abortion past the blastocyst stage (approximately 5 days after fertilization).
I prefer any method of contraception up to and including the 'morning-after pill' to abortion.
When all of these have failed or been unavailable and a woman is pregnant, I wish that she could feel supported and safe enough to have that surprise child and raise him or her to be an amazing adult, or hand him over to someone else who can.
Ultimately though, she (and perhaps her partner may be permitted an opinion) must make that decision. If she cannot have that child, she should not be forced to remain pregnant.
I favour life, but I support choice.
