"I also don't have any real strong opinions on abortion. But have to admit, if I got a woman pregnant, I'd probably suddenly become pro-choice."

I hope you are being facetious.
If not you might want to sit down and have a very long think about that statement.
If you have unprotected sex with a woman, not your wife, and she becomes pregnant, what you are saying is that your total lack of responsibility for the result of an action that you participated in willingly would put your conscience on hold long enough to kill the child you helped create.
Could you perform the abortion? If not, why not? You would be asking the woman that you loved enough to have sex with to allow a stranger to put a foreign object in her body and rip a living being from her womb.
Why not let the child be born, and after he or she came into the world, just smother it with a blanket, stick scissors in it's brain, or better yet let the child starve to death. I mean after all, we've been told that's a "peaceful" way to die.
I wish the argument about abortion was discussed in just these terms. I know it sounds harsh, but maybe actually seeing the horror (if even in the mind's eye) of what an abortion is, might change the cavalier attitudes of people who make statements like the one you posted.
You will notice that I did not bring religion into the reason that the act of abortion is wrong. However I am a Christian, and I will pray that you don't get someone pregnant until you are ready to accept the responsibility.
