"Pro-lifers" (or ANTI-CHOICERS) are ignorant, uneducated, and CONTRADICTORY. They are not really pro-life as they claim to be.
If they were pro-life, they would NOT support a war killing thousands of REAL, INNOCENT children as opposed to an insignificant embryo or fetus. (The majority of pro-lifers are conservative republicans who SUPPORT the war.)
If they were were pro-life, they would not support killing animals just to satisfy their taste buds, or to make a fashion statement (furs, animal skins, etc).
If they were pro-life, they would not kill insects.
If they were pro-life, they would not support people who bomb abortion clinics, kill doctors who perform abortions, harass innocent employees at abortion clinics, nor would they do it themselves.
If they were pro-life, they would not support the dealth penalty.

If they were pro-life, they would adopt many many children since they supposedly "care so much" and want to make sure that all people considering abortions carry the pregnancy to term and give the child up for adoption.
If they were pro-life, they would NEVER make statements like "you should have been aborted".
If they were pro-life, they would be genuinely nice and understanding, and they would NEVER gossip about people, insult people, or hate people. Why are some pro-lifers SO mean? If they really cared about the lives of others, would they be mean, and judgemental? Why aren't they nice to everyone? Since they are mean to people, that means it wouldn't matter to them if those people died, So why do they care about the lives of certain "people", and not others? That's not fair, and that's contradictory.
MY body, MY life, MY reproductive system, MY fetuses and embryos, MY business, MY choice.

Since when is a piece of flesh more important than a grown woman? Who cares if it has a heartbeat? The fetus or embryo may have a heartbeat, but that is NOT life. It is not a baby until it is viable. It can not survive without the mother's body, and the mother should not be forced to have her body used as incubator. It's HER body.
Also, the fetus may be "alive", but is it life? No! It's not. It is not yet living a real life. It is just a piece of flesh with a heartbeat. I can think of MANY more things with a heart beat which pro-lifers do NOT care about.
Did you know that illnesses are LIVING ORGANISMS? Yes, AIDS, and CANCER are LIVING. Does that mean that you should live with them, and let yourself die?
Did you know that tumors have PULSES? Yes, tumors have pulses and they are LIVING ORGANISMS. Does that mean you should let the tumor destroy your body?
I have plenty more examples showing how pro-lifers are contradictory, but I won't waste time.

We all know pro-lifers are uneducated, ignorant, and the only purpose of their life is to follow their bullsh*t religion so they can get to "heaven". They haven't got minds of their own, and are gullible enough to believe what the bible has to say.
The arguments pro-lifers make about abortion are wrong, anyway. They ALWAYS mention "God" when debating about abortion. WELL PRO-LIFERS, GUESS WHAT? You're wrong! There is NO proof of "God" therefore the "facts" you provide are FICTION!
Every pro-lifer should get a life, and leave everybody alone. My body is none of their business. My reproductive system is none of their business. My fetuses and embryos are none of their business. Have they nothing better to do than harass people all day? Are they THAT pathetic, and bored?
ALL pro-lifers are contradictory and their arguments are ridiculous. They say the stupidest things like:
"Why kill an innocent baby when you can give it to a family that wants kids but can't have kids?"

-First of all, other families are none of my business. Why should I waste 9 months of my life going through physical and emotional hell just so I can make a random couple happpy?
Second of all, There are already SO many unwanted children in this world. There are so many orphanages and foster homes in this world, and NOBODY cares about the children in them. If there were really "SO many people who want kids but cant have them", then there wouldn't be any unwanted children out there!
Why bring another unwanted children into this already over-populated world?
Also, why don't pro-lifers adopt a few children themselves?

"if you're not ready for a child, you're not ready for sex! if you're not ready to face the consequences, don't spread your legs!"
-That is NOT true. Sex is a natural, beautiful, pleasurable thing which everybody should experience whether they are ready for children or not. Having children is not the only purpose of sex. If sex existed solely for reproducing, then orgasms would not exist! Sex is here for us to enjoy, not only to have children.
Also, there are SO many people who already have a few children, are happily married, but are NOT ready for more children. Would you say that a middle aged woman who has children and is married but is NOT emotionally, physically, and financially ready for another child is not ready for sex? Of course you wouldn't! Of course that woman still has sex despite the fact that she's not ready for children.
...Once again, I have proved that pro-lifers don't know what they are talking about and that they are contradictory.

"if you saw somebody trying to kill their child in the street of course you would do something about it"
-Yes, i'd do something about it, but that is totally irrelevant. That has NOTHING to do with abortion.
You can NOT compare a real child to a fetus or embryo.
Who cares if you terminate a pregnancy when the fetus or embryo can't feel anything and is NOT aware of anything occuring as opposed to a child that can feel and is aware?
It has been scientifically proven that a fetus can NOT feel anything before 20 weeks. 90% of abortions are terminated long before 20 weeks; long before the fetus can feel anything.
Even if a woman has an abortion after 20 weeks when the fetus can feel, who cares? The emotional and physical pain the mother goes through for over 9 months is much worse than

the pain the fetus is going through. The fetus will only "feel pain" for a short while as opposed to a woman who will feel pain and discomfort for over 9 months. Also, the fetus's brain is not developed enough to acknowledge the situation. Why do you think nobody remembers being in their mother's stomach?
...Once again, I have proved pro-lifers wrong.

-There are "what ifs" in EVERY situation no matter how minor or major it is. You can NOT justify something or say something is wrong based on "what ifs".
Here is a question I have for you, pro-lifers: "What if the baby would've been the next hitler?"
...Once again, MY argument WINS.
For the men: You don't have a right to oppose abortion, and you do NOT have the right to speak out against it. You also do NOT have the right to criticise women who have had abortions.
Let me tell you when you will be able to oppose abortion. You will be able to oppose abortion the day your PENIS turns into a VAGINA, you GROW A UTERUS, you get a MENSTRUAL PERIOD, your body CHANGES TO ACCOMODATE AN EMBRYO OR FETUS INSIDE OF IT, and WHEN YOU GET PREGNANT. That is the day you will be allowed to speak out against abortion. Too bad that will NEVER happen, so keep your ignorant opinions to yourself.

You are totally correct, I get so sick of conservatives they complain and complain but never have any solutions and the few solutions they do have they want on someone elses shoulders I.E. Adoption, they want women to carry these kids to term and the put them up for adoption, but they don't ever adopt any of these kids.

Because most of them are fairly uneducated, sexist conservatives... I'm pro-choice all the way: I think the decision should be up to the pregnant woman only, without any external interferences. However, some pro-lifers do have a point. Abortion after the woman is 6-7 months pregnant is not only detrimental to the health of the woman, but her fetus could have become a living baby. Regardless, it puzzles me how religious notions could be so dominant in influencing people's decisions - then again, I'm personally not religious at all.

Wow! A lot of emotions behind this. Your this and your that. Fine. This "life" we cling to so preciously is filled with so many choices, both "good" and "bad" that surely we could spend our time better than any feeble attempts to persuade this woman, or any woman, to bring forth some"thing", or any"thing" from her body?
And why so much animosity towards "pro-lifers; people who have the legitimate right to fight the primeval fight for survival, even if their attempts may be misguided into the protection of your progeny?
I do not believe in senseless killing. You are trying to make sense of killing - and you have, at this point, my undivided attention. Why is it so important for you to fight for others right to choice? I do not believe it is that at all. You talked about your this and your that - I feel, and I could be wrong, that you are trying to justify your choice, someone else's choice, or a choice that is to be made.
What would it take to convince a woman to give that "fetus" or "embryo" a chance?
What if that "fetus" or "embryo" were one day proved to be "alive" or "human" or whatever other term is necessary?
Wait, I mean what if it was proved to You, where You are one hundred percent convinced... what then? And you are willing to take that chance?
Why are you so anxious to prove that a "fetus" and an "embryo" are not alive? What if they are? You are willing to be so critically wrong?
Why?
I have made many "mischoices," things that I look back and wonder how different my life would have been "if."
You know what, let's just slow down and enjoy each other and deal with each others' choices.
After all, I am the only one who has to live with me for the rest of my life.
I am the only one who must live, or die, with my choices.
Peace.

Some people can not afford a baby and I agree with abortion. But it also is a cop out for alot of people they can not be responsible use birth control condoms etc. A little brains could stop it from being an issue in the first place

Child never gets a choice.
and last i checked, if there is potential for life, AND potential for choice, then the distinct possibility of both a will to live and a life to live it with override any moral and ethical standards.
so basically you're snuffing out a human life by treating it as a commodity. you sick *****.

You really need to educate yourself before you speak. Many of your political views have no support in reality and are just broad generalzations of what you want to believe about other people. You show an inability to seperate out seperate issues and to respect other people's views (Men can't have a say on abortion? that is just out there) But i don't want to talk about that, because you clearly don't want to hear about it.
But one scientific fact: orgasms do play a role in the reproduction process. They are necessary, espicially the male orgasm. Education is fun, try it.

uh? There's no other way to support your case without sounding like a raving lunatic? My guess is you are really pro-life and you're out there to make pro-choice people look horrible! And you're succeeding I might add.
If you are so passionate about it, have clear arguments to make your case, don't stoop to name calling level and just plain make sense alright? Then, we can talk.

I am against abortion with all my heart. It is a disgusting practice, and by all spiritual means, it is murder.
I am sure that all the mothers getting abortions are going to hell right after murderers and right before rapists.
However, If the heart is not beating, and the brain is not active, it is not alive by legal standards, nor has it ever been. Thus it is not murder. It is the legal equivalent of removing a tumor.
I am anti-abortion, but I am pro-choice. As long as the abortion is done before the brain becomes active or the heart starts beating, it is not legally murder by any standards set. Nor should it be illegal.
But just because it's legal doesn't mean that if there is a god, you aren't going to hell for doing it.
Note: I am not a very religious person, nor do I believe in the biblical sense of "god". But was just making a point.
