While not "pro-abortion" I am VERY pro population control. I believe that should be done with birth control, and not by abortions, in fact I don't believe abortions should ever be necessary, but I do believe it's better to have an abortion than to give birth to a child who will be neglected, abused or just basically not have a loving family to take care of them.

I won't force my belief on others, or make other people have an abortion because of how I feel etc. That seems crazy to me. I honestly believe this should be left up to the individual mothers (and fathers to some degree), and to the doctors that actually perform the abortion (IE if no doctors want to, then you can't get one (well from a doctor), and you should never force a doctor to give an abortion if they don't believe in it (or fire them because they won't).

You should need to state that is the case if your a doctor in that field though, which would obviously have a large impact on if you got hired or not. Sadly though that could allow a hospital to ONLY hire doctors that don't believe in giving abortions, which could mean in some states, they would be very hard to get.

Even so, you should not make it mandatory to do that for doctors, I believe that is just as wrong as not allowing a mother to get an abortion.

You should not force people to do things they do not want, and that sadly includes giving birth. If you feel it is murder, put the burden on those who do, and pony up money to pay for women to give birth to unwanted babies (again with the caveat of getting tubes tied, and having it only be once per woman etc). That would prevent most abortions right there (sadly it might encourage some to actually get pregnant for the pay day, so it's not a perfect solution).
