I actually have to beg to differ on this one - there have been several threads where basically "pro-choice" people have criticized a decision NOT to abort a baby. I would say they actually have basically stated that NOT having an abortion was wrong in that case.  [/b]

I haven't been discussing abortion for long, so I haven't seen that one. Not that I doubt it happens. At this point, this may be the only thing I haven't yet heard 
I'm sure some people would say that in some cases it is wrong not to have an abortion. Even I would think that if the mother's life is in danger, not having an abortion would probably be a wrong choice. But what you definitely not see often is someone saying that in cases of rape, for example, it should be mandatory to have an abortion. But I have seen discussions that abortion should be illegal, I don't know if I'm explaining myself here.
What I mean was that in every debate there's a side that values choice (hence the term "pro-choice) more than the other. And usually that side believes both choices are OK. The other side usually believes one choice is right and one is wrong and that a person shouldn't have the right to make that choice, see the difference? The key word here is "usually". This is a generalization, but people are different.

Sharon - I was speaking to some arguments that have been made on quality of life, etc...of the baby - when it comes ot the mother's healht (such as ectopic) I have yet to see any woman here on any side say hte woman "should" carry the baby - even for those that aren't certainw hat they might do - I haven't seen anyone say she should continue with that kind of health threat - but I have seen those that say if the mother is told the child would be ill that it's selfish not to abort - and hence hte reason I say it has been deemed "wrong" in some cases (by some pro-choice people) to not have an abortion.
I was trying to explain what I was saying - hopefully that mde it more clear rather than more cloudy.
