Pro-life. Every child should get a chance to live. When you abort a fetus you could be aborting the next Steve Jobs or Barack Obama, or the person who finds the cure for cancer.
Adoption is always an option.

Pro-Life. Only if it were your decision & you willfully allowed it to happen.

A few things I'm certain of:
If a girl is raped and impregnated, she has the right to an abortion
If you forget to wear protection and get pregnant it is your own fault and your responsibility to either find that child a loving home or give it one yourself.
If you do everything right, but still get pregnant (can happen) then...preferably find a loving home for the baby, or terminate it as early as possible

I say Yes, because if they're even considering this, they have a damn good reason.

Not always. It's sickening but there ARE people who get drunk, get pregnant then want an abortion because they can't face the consequences of their actions.
And you're over-simplifying it. There is another human life involved, it's not something purely to do with the woman and her body like a butt implant.

Ugh, Abortion is such an overly debated topic. It should remain as it stands now, legal. You can't force a woman to go 9 months and push a baby out that's not wanted.

Pro-choice. If and only if the baby was diagnosed to various genetic disorders and wouldn't survive in less than a year anyway. Also, if it'll risk the mother's life.

The question is pro-life or pro-choice, and is it morally wrong. 
The baby's life should obviously be in the question since it is the sole factor in determining if abortion is morally wrong or right.
I would say women should have a choice in cases of rape, or if it is harmful to their health.

Only in cases of rape or of it harms the woman. Plenty of people are waiting to adopt a child.

I forgot to mention that, if there if a significant risk to the mothers health, and other options such as a Caesarean section have been fully considered and wouldn't help, abortion is acceptable to protect the mother's life.

I have a very weird stance on this topic.
Abortion is wrong to me, but I still support it anyway.
It's horrible to kill a human, but hey, some people have to die. I'm sorry.
This is also a women's rights issue. Women deserve the right to abort.

What if it was you?
In specific cases, yes, but otherwise no.

What about if a woman went out, got a bit tipsy, had unprotected sex in the bathrooms and got pregnant? Should she be allowed to end another humans life just so she didn't have to face the consequences of her actions?

Pro-life. It's your choice, your body. Do what you think is best.

If it's her fault that she got pregnant, then you can.

I'm pro-choice. I believe it should be up to the woman. As she is the one who would have to live with her decision.

I'm a man. I don't have a uterus. Not my decision.

Isn't it equally the man's fault she got pregnant? Takes two to tango, buddy.
Sorry, but I think it's just ridiculous that a man is trying to decide this issue for a woman. Pregnancy wreaks HAVOC on your body, and there's a lot of women who really can't handle it, or shouldn't be forced to endure 9 months of it for a baby they don't want.

Yes, but it is still equally her fault as well.
What about the baby's life though?
