Say what?

Abortion. The word in itself is powerful. And now a storm is brewing because of a new bill that will allow abortions without restrictions up to 14 weeks of pregnancy.
Under the current law, abortions are readily available under a clause that allows women to assert mental distress as a reason for ending a pregnancy, but this must be certified by a doctor. The procedure is also permitted in cases of rape or fetal malformation.
Of course, people are coming out of the woodwork and screaming "immoral!". Personally I think that abortion is a personal choice and people should stop judging and start understanding. What makes me angry is the fact that every one has an opinion on everything but is it necessary to force that opinion down everyones throat?
A personal choice is a personal choice, let's respect that. Have your say, for or against, but make your opinion clear respectfully.
