Are you Pro-Life or Pro-Choice? Why or why not?
Personally, I'm Pro-Life. If you don't want the child you're pregnant with I think you should put him/her up for adoption.

I changed my mind. I'm neither. In some circumstances, I think it's OK...such as rape, but other than that sorta thing...I'd say no...don't do it.

Pro-life, There are more than enough birth control methods to use there should be no need for abortion except in special circumstances; rape,molestation, the mothers/babys life is in danger.
Rosario, I HAVE been there and I STILL say Pro-life. Just like I don't know your situation you don't know mine and I live w/that fact everyday.

Pro-Life. The arguments given by Pro-Abortion advocates are ridiculous. Being pro-life does not 'force' someone to give birth. Keep your legs closed and you will not give birth, guaranteed to work every time. As far as coat hangers go, there is only 2 documented cases of women dying from something similar to this before R.v.W. Today we have 1 million babies die from abortions every year, more than all the deaths from heart attacks, cancer, stroke and car accidents combined. If we must choose between a couple of stupid women dying and millions of children dying, I will take the former. As for the medical argument that a child could be messed up, that opens the door for all kinds of evils, like aborting because the baby has a cleft pallet, or because the baby is a girl, or whatever. Some things in life aren't relative, and morality is one of them. It isn't about judging a woman, it is about valuing life. I am Pro-choice until a woman spreads her legs, then the choice is made. Don't take a life because you couldn't control yourself!

I'm Pro-Choice. Being pro-life forces a person to be born, but what if the person is very messed up? There needs to be a choice to have the abortion. Also, giving people no choice for an abortion forces people to use other less safe methods to do it like coat hangers. You can't force people to not have abortions, the better thing to do is provide a safe means to do it and let the ethical situation be between the parents and god.

Boiling down such a complicated issue into yes or no is part of the reason there is so much drama on this issue.
If Pro-lifers are so worried about saving babies, then why aren't they out soliciting abortion clinics instead of bombing them? Why aren't they out there actively trying to adopt babies that are due to be terminated?
I'm pro-choice only because the alternative, shady clinics that jeopordize the mother, is so unatractive. Just because you make something illegal, doesn't make it go away.
**Funny thing about illegal abortions....and illegal stuff in general....is that when things go wrong, rarely is something reported. And considering that on rare occassions, women still die in sanitized operating rooms today due to the procedure, I highly doubt the stat below to be true. ****

Pro-choice. It's not my place to tell or judge another human being on their legal choices. First, if a woman has worked it out with herself that she can morally get an abortion, then she needs support, not people damning her. Second, there simply aren't enough people willing to adopt. Third, some women are not physically capable of having a healthy child due to age, genetics, or condition.

I'm personally pro-life, however I (if a bit grudgingly) respect a woman's right to make the final decision. I always counsel the life alternative, except in extreme cases. As a pro-life advocate, I'm also against the death penalty.

Pro-Choice. I've been through it.
All those people who say pro-life have probably never had a situation where you "have to do something" and just like pointing fingers and judging!

I am totally pro-life. I couldn't even imagine doing anything to an unborn child.

pro life, either keep your legs closed, learn how to use birth control or put it up for adoption

In an ideal world, Pro-Life. But this is not an ideal world.
