Khandro - //Abortion and circumstances surrounding each case are such highly complicated matters that it cannot be reduced to a 'for' or 'against' public issue, I feel as I've always felt, that the only person entitled to decide is the woman herself, not politicians, clergymen and non-involved activists. //
You have captured my view on the subject word for word.
I think the only person empowered to make a decision about keeping or terminating a pregnancy is the woman involved, and I don't believe any woman makes a decision either way without a deal of heartache and soul searching, and then living with her decision for the rest of her life.
