No i personally believe it shouldn’t be allowed but I believe people have their own free choice.
Saying abortion is okay to be legalised if other people choose that path is contradictory to the Church teaching on abortion. Holding that opinion is a rejection of the Church teaching. Yes you have the freewill to hold an opinion but if that opinion contradicts Church teaching it is a sin of grave matter.
A Catholic may not say its okay for abortion to be legalised.
 
Well I believe abortion and gay marriage is wrong now but I am not going to vote for a yes or no option, I am just going to skip it. I don’t want my vote to count in these type of moral issues, sorry for the mix up guys, blessings.

If it were put to a vote, I find it amazing that you would NOT vote to protect the innocent life of a child. I simply do not know how one can justify this.

I can’t speak for the OP, but as a former “pro-choicer” I can say what it was in my case: misplaced compassion for the mother, especially in the situation of “hard cases,” and a fundamental misunderstanding of biology and how pregnancy works.

Looking back I feel ridiculous about it, but the OP’s not alone. Our society is seriously warped on these issues and otherwise intelligent, compassionate people can fall into traps of bad thinking to justify sin, thinking they are doing the “right thing.”

I think that you are right about the OP… It’s pretty clear that he is trying to take a compassionate stance. It is just misplaced.

Hopefully the feedback he has gotten here - especially from people like you and me, who once held such a view - will lead him to the same conclusion we reached.

The problem is that you are contradicting yourself with thus logic, because if you think that someone should have the free choice to do something it means that in your own mind you don’tthink that action is really that bad. Yes maybe you wouldn’t do it but if you think other should have the freedom to it then is because you think is not harmful so yes you are condoning the action. Would you say that you wouldn’t burglarize a home but you think that burglars have the right to burglarized when they want? Would you say that you wouldn’t murder your neighbor but if someone wants to murder your neighbor that person should have the right to murder? Your answer would probably be no and the reason is because you see murder and burglary as something so grave no one should do it. Obviously you don’t see abortion under the same lens. You don’t think is something that is really hitting anyone so then people should have the right to do it…and by seeing like that yes, you are condoning the action.
 
I think that if the belief is that government shouldn’t be involved in a woman’s right to legally abort, then the same logic would have to apply to all murder. If you can legally kill a recently conceived 1-month old baby in the womb, then why wouldn’t you be able to legally kill a 6 year old…or a teen…or anyone? All lives are equally valuable regardless of the stage of life, and it is proven that human life begins in the womb when a unique DNA is created at the moment of conception. So if it’s against the law to kill a kid after it’s been born, why should it be lawful to kill a kid before it’s born? In both cases, people have free will to commit murder for whatever reasons they may come up with, but legal consequences don’t apply to the latter, only the former. To me, it doesn’t make any sense that the same laws against murder don’t apply equally to ALL human beings.
 
Bernard Nathanson, who fought for the right to abortion, but later became a pro-life activist and a Catholic, admitted that the statistics on home abortions had been invented. In other words, not that many woman used a coat hanger to resolve their problem.
One problem with legal abortion is then it becomes easier for women to be coerced, forced, brow-beaten into having an abortion. It becomes the back-up plan for when contraception fails. Pimps can take their teenaged victims in to have any pregnancy taken care of, and Planned Parenthood will help them with that. That has been documented.

Legality legitimizes it for society. The ancient Romans used to leave unwanted infants on the hillside for wolves. That was legal too. Then Christians came along and started rescuing the babies, throwing a monkey wrench into the system that was working okay.
Abortion is an evil and we must fight it on all fronts. OP, please don’t support it. Without life, there can be no right to liberty or the pursuit of happiness.
