Pro choice 100%, although personally I wouldn't have an abortion unless there was a defect - I feel strongly about that as my mom was forced to carry my baby brother to term since abortion was illegal although the ultrasounds showed he didn't have a brain. It changed her. But I think that is each woman's choice to make, not the government.
On the other hand, figuring out birth control isn't hard. I try not to judge when I read that someone had 4 or 5 or "too many to count" abortions (Sherri Sheperd said that), but I do make a judgment on their intelligence. I can't imagine that the 97-99% accuracy of birth control would result in the same people using it correctly and getting pregnant multiple times.
I definitely don't agree with it being used as birth control, nor being taken lightly or done without a lot of thought and consideration, but as someone who's been there due to very, very careful use of birth control failing without any sign of it doing so I'll say that no matter how careful you are and how much you look after yourself, sometimes these things do happen! And yes, I know what you mean about things 'changing you'... the experience changed me completely and I had that choice, as gut-wrenching as it was. I really feel for your Mum.
