if so do you ever use the argument....."if you were stupid enough to get pregnant and then go get a "coat hanger" abortion done by a back alley doctor then you deserve to die?" Do you not see the hypocrisy of those words?
Isn't that a very anti life statement to make? Meaning of course that if you are not born then we want you, but if you are old enough to make a decision that we don't agree with then you should just die and we don't care.

yes someone has said this, I can't even count how many times I have heard this fallible argument.

It is a very ignorant and reactionary thing to say. And yes, I have heard arguments just as stupid.
I feel that life is precious, and that every child born has the right to the necessities of life- food, clean water, shelter, education, medical care, opportunity. I feel equally strongly that we were given our brains to understand our own situations well enough to make difficult, informed choices. A woman who cannot give a child the requirements for life, regardless of how conception occurred, should have the choice as to whether or not she brings a child into the world. Her choice is between her and God- and she does not have to answer to someone who is not directly involved. Any social policy dictating anything less than this choice is advocating indentured servitude.
A woman I admire put it very eloquently, "Abortion will be be necessary until 3 things happen: 1) birth control is 100% effective, 2) all sex is consensual, and 3) human beings stop making mistakes."
Let's put our resources into sustainable living for the world's poorest mothers instead of telling women what to do. In other words, give them the resources to make a choice. It will be time much more wisely spent.

Simply because someone claims to be pro-life and makes statement like that does not mean that all those who are pro-life are the same. Where they wrong to say that? Of course. I fail to see your question. Unless you're just asking if everyone who is pro-life is the same or uses the same logic. The answer to that is an astounding NO.

I DO identify as pro-life, and I have never made a retarded statement like that.
I usually say that if a person's stupid enough to have sex without any birth control, then they shouldn't take their idiocy out on the child. There's always adoption and safe-haven abandonment.

well it's just that everyone deserves to live, and i think it's not fair that babys have to die even before they are born just because of some stupid decision a girl made, but that doesnt mean the person that made that choice deserves to die. it's a horrible thing, but byt saying that person deserves to die, is like saying the person is not worth anything either.

As a matter of fact I am pro-life but I'd never say that to someone, I don't even think that way. Did somone say that to you? Life is precious.
