Before I was assigned this debate topic I was not sure where I stood on abortion issue. I thought that I knew the facts, and was leaning more towards the pro-choice side just as recent as Wednesday of this week. I knew this conflicted with my principles, morals, and religion, but I thought it could be for the "good" that women do this. I thought maybe there were times when it could be okay.
