I hate the terms pro-life and pro-choice. It dances around the issue which is abortion. Personally, I oppose abortion, I look at it as a permanent solution to a temporary pregnancy.
However, our society, and the world as a whole has made a decision to permit abortions. The cat is out of the bag and is not going back. Patchwork bans will only force women to go places where it is legal or go underground.
As a society, our best option is to eliminate the need for abortion. Abstinence gets laughed at, but kids need to develop skills to handle the pressures to have sex. Birth control needs to be readily available and unwed mothers need a support structure that allows them to carry a baby to term.
