I support Roe v Wade because I don't think the rights of a fetus should ever supercede the rights of the woman carrying it. That doesn't mean that I think abortion is a good thing, I just recognize that it is sometimes a necessary thing and the government should not ever restrict a woman's access. Of course, more people should be more responsible about sex, and men need to stop raping women and committing incest with kids in their families.

It always kills me when people support a ban on abortion with exceptions for rape, incest and the health of the mother. I understand that isn't what you said, you said that was your personal opinion, not the policy you support. But how can that ever be enforced? Does rape have to be proved in a court of law before the abortion can be performed? That would take too long, the baby would be born before that could happen. Who decides whether a woman should be allowed to have an abortion? A court? A doctor?
