My bet is no one. Even in the womb, babies fight to survive the abortion process.
All human life is precious, especially the most innocent of all - the infant in the womb.

True happiness comes from what you give in life, not from what you get.
I know I'm happy to be alive and enjoying this world and I bet everyone, even the pro-choicers, are as well. Great post!

I am a child welfare social worker, and I see kids that have been in some pretty horrific situations. We often hear that abortion is a "solution" to poverty and a "cure' for child abuse. Yet I've never heard any of them say "I wish I would have been aborted."
Some in the child welfare system will, sadly, will fall through the cracks. But while there's life, there's hope.
Not my family or me!

Any response from pro-aborts?

Hey! I think I overheard PalinWasAFraud say "Me! Me! I would!"
shareFirst of all, the insistence that some people have with calling pro choice people "pro abortion" or in your words "pro-aborts" is an unfortunate habit and more than a little insulting to many of us. It's also inaccurate in many cases and therefore an unnecessary distraction or misperception being added to the discussion.
Moving on from that to the question posed, I'll admit that I think it's a bit like asking if a person would go back in time to try to right a perceived wrong when there's no way to know what else might be impacted by making such a choice. And if any of us tried to pretend we know the answer, I'd submit we're not being honest with ourselves.
I think most people would be reluctant to say "Oh yes, I wish I'd been aborted." Or even as the question here is phrased "I would choose to be aborted." Because once we're here and living our lives, we're naturally reluctant to give it up. And of course it doesn't really mean "Would you the fetus choose to be aborted?" (I assume) but rather "If it were up to you now, would you go back and allow it?"
My answer (which is only my own and not meant to represent anyone else) is that it would depend greatly on the circumstances. And would have to be made with the understanding that had this path been chosen, I wouldn't be missing this life because it never would have existed. So yes, if my mother had died in childbirth or if she had been raped and experienced severe emotional trauma as a result, exacerbated by the constant reminder growing inside of her or if she were a young adult just starting out in life whose family threw her out with no resources, ability to provide for her own medical care or handle the emotional devastation, much less the requirements of caring for me, I might well say "Yes, if I could spare her life or mental/emotional health, I would go back in time and let her make that choice." Because she was here first and her life matters too. Not more than mine but certainly as much as mine.
I wish I had been aborted. And I'm not the only one. There you go.
shareNO!
The hypothetical young woman you are describing doesn't need to have an abortion to erase all her problems. She needs help from people who are willing to take care of her and her baby. Besides, with many services and education, there are a lot of options than just abortion.
Yeah, I don't believe any fetus or baby would gladly agree to be aborted.
Absolutely.
