are you pro-life (GO PRO-LIFE PEOPLE!) or are you pro-abortion (if so why?)

Am I for killing little babies or letting them live? I think letting them live is the best option so I will say I choose life.
No mother, father, or anyone else has the right to choose to kill a baby.

I don't know anyone anywhere that is pro-abortion, that actively advocates that people should go have abortions. In fact, calling people pro-abortion is just as false and misleading as calling people pro-life. There is nothing pro-life about the anti-choice position.
The thing about the abortion debate is that the two sides are arguing entirely unrelated issues. Pro-life people say "abortion is bad". Pro-choice advocates say "The government not should be making personal decisions that like". It's not about abortion. It's about who gets to make the decisions.
Face it -- someone is going to choose. It's either going to be the individual, or it's going to be the majority (through enacted laws).
The concept of reproductive freedoms is not whether you agree with the individual choices being made. It's whether you think the government should have the right to take away and mandate those choices.
Why can't people understand that freedom of choice is not a minority value, even if the majority happens to disagree with the minority's choice?

You are inaccurate in labels. You assume that PRO CHOICE means pro-abortion, which in fact it does not. It means I believe you need to keep your laws off my body. A woman should no more be forced to go through a pregnancy than you should be arrested for your thoughts.
If you insist on calling us pro-abortion, then I insist your so called pro-life is actually the MANDATORY MOTHERHOOD FANATICS
If you are gang raped and turn up pregnant, why should there be a law that says you have to go through the pregnancy? Lets see.. it isn't the baby's fault.. so we punish the mother to be??? Was it her fault? NO. It was the fault of the violence-passion crap that even the military brainwashes young men's minds with. More and more civil liberties are taken away in America on a daily basis. The government continues to violate the law of the land. The special interest groups like the mandatory motherhood folks keep trying to pass more laws to take away more of my personal freedoms.. need I mention where I would tell them to go???
May all your offspring be spared your dogma.

Pro Life- are tyose the folks who dont want poor people to eat or get medical care, and who push for the death penalty.
THEY ARE NOT PRO LIFE. Many True Pro Life folks are also against abortion.

abortion is better in some cases, imagine a mother who is addicted to crack.The results of prenatal drug exposure are well documented and can include intrauterine growth retardation, prematurity and low birth weight, central nervous system damage, and congenital physical malformations, among others.
what if the mother is too young to take care of the child, the young mother who out on the streets cannot afford to feed the child, due to addiction or other serious problems....
that would not only ruin the childs life, but the mothers as well.
there are many other reasons to favor abortion,
adoption is great but alot of children are left in the system, these children are at high risk statistically of dropping out of school early, use drugs and commit crimes and have greater risk of facing depression, much greater!............ and what if the child is conceived due to rape or sexual abuse?

I believe in choice.
Every woman should have the right to choose whether or not to BECOME pregnant. Every human life should be preserved. Life is sacred. If for some reason you don't think you're cut out to be a mom, adoption is a wonderful option. There are many good couples out there who want to have children but can't, and would love to adopt!

Firstly, the majority of pro-lifers are fine people, but i dont agree with your views.
My belief is, it is the mothers choice, and ONLY the mothers choice, what she should do with her prospective child. If she wants it aborted, fine. If not, she can have it.
Who are we to start preachign and demanding what she can and cannot do?
Therefore, i am pro-CHOICE. Saying pro-abortion loads rhe question and makes us out to be murderers

Pro choice.
Government should not make laws about medical procedures that do not cause the death of a human being.
Humans are just biological masses of tissue until God imputes a human soul at birth.
That's the smartest thing coragryph has said all year.

I'm pro-abortion, because not everyone is fit to be a parent. And I think it is a lot less cruel for the kid to not exist than to exist in a family where it is not loved, not wanted or potentially going to be abused.

there are certain points where our laws break down.
Yes, abortion is taking a life. In that respect I am pro-life.
No, you can't put everyone in jail who has had one.
No, you can't prosecute people who have them or assist in them.
In that respect I am pro-choice.
If you believe that abortion is the taking of a life, then it is likely the first person you will meet after you pass on will be that person.
You had better have a good reason for your action.
There are no laws or lawyers there.
It will be just you and that person.
