Definitely a no on using it as means of birth control, there are plenty of other methods that don't involve killing a fetus.

For other cases (rape, incest, danger to the mother, etc.) I would have to say it's up to the woman.

I'm not a woman, so I will definitely never know the feeling of making that decision. I have heard that an abortion can be very emotionally damaging, but again, I really don't know.

You always hear about conservative groups who are against teaching birth control to young people because it encourages them to have sex. They are even against teaching alternatives to sex (masturbation). They want push abstinence as the only method of birth control. While I believe abstinence is indeed the best way to go, it's not reasonable to expect that young people are not going to have sex. That's just not going to happen.

While my views lean towards the conservative side, I would rather they use birth control instead of getting pregnant and either having an abortion or having a child when they're still kids themselves.
