"I have no problem with choosing the lesser of two evils when it comes to rape, incest or medical necessity. I have no problem with the hormone pill that prevents the fertilized egg from attaching. I can support those that disagree with me. I can not however agree with the concept of abortion on demand because the mother wants it. There must be mitigating circumstances."

In that case you're pro-choice. In the above paragraph you have stated reasons why abortion is acceptable. No woman is going to let you read her medical records or any police reports she may have filed. Especially if she doesn't know you and you don't know her. Let's assume that without non-privileged, non-confidential, public domain clear and certain knowledge (not inferences!) that she is aborting for a reason you (or anyone else for that matter) find acceptable.

If you would advocate that an individual woman prove to the satisfaction of someone else who has absolutely no stake in the outcome - they will NOT baby-sit, they will NOT give mom a break from the kid when it has colic, they will NOT pick up toys, diapers, clothes, etc., they are NOT previously known to the woman and NOT previously known to give two shits about her - then you're pro-choice but only so far as people not the woman are making that choice.

For the most part, trust that women everywhere have thought this through carefully, and are aborting for reasons you find acceptable. Because you will never know for sure, and you'll sleep better at night.
