i think for many it's not that they're necessarily in favor of abortion or want it performed. however, for many, they don't feel it's their right to tell others what to do. some people don't want to be told either, but they feel perfectly ok in foisting their opinon on others in return!
those against abortion don't have to support it, don't have to ever get one. but they have no right pushing that set of beliefs (not facts even if they want to say it's a fact as to when life begins ,etc) onto other people. besides, what affect does it have on you, or me, or anyone else if a woman makes that choice? nothing.
however, if some had the ability to change the rules, that would have an adverse affect on many others who no longer have the ability to decide for themselves.
