You can be personally opposed to abortion and fully support a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy

[Ms. Toad]

43. First, the OP did not qualify support for abortion RIGHTS as "under the right circumstances.

The qualifications was to personally recommending an abortion.

Second, there are people on DU who do personally favor abortion and, for example, favor birth control as a means of birth control. They are likely few, but I have been in more than one DU conversation in which another poster has made precisely that point. That abortion is just another medical procedure - no big deal, no tears no struggle. E.g. See this post which - although not celebrating abortion - does suggest that the OPs views personally opposing abortion are idiotic: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9419586


Finally, there are posts on DU recently asserting political candidates who hold those views should not be elected because they are anti-abortion.

It is a valid point to make, in view of the current discussion.
