Are you pro-life or pro-choice? Why?

Answer 1

Pro-life. What choice does the BABY have???

Answer 2

It should be the women's choice. I am pro-choice. Mainly because if they start directing people's choices it will open up much more questions and the government can push for more choices changed. I seem all the government is bad but the fact is with a case like this they could use this to push for more restrictions and go back to this as a basis for other things. So I really think it should be left to a women, if she is pro-life let her keep the baby, pro-choice let her do what she wants. Some women really do need the choice.... and it should be theirs. Unless they are legally unstable then YEAAAAA

Answer 3

Well, I would have to say that I'm a little bit of both. I agree with abortion within the first 12 weeks of conception, but after that, I think that it is killing a life. I don't agree with using abortion as a form of birth control. I think there should be a limit to how many times a woman can have this procedure performed. I do not agree with late term abortion. The mother has had plenty of time to decide whether or not she wants to keep the baby before the 12 weeks are up. If she doesn't want to keep the baby, there is always adoption. If there is a question of the mother's health and it's not discovered before the 12th week, then maybe an abortion would be in order. I think that's all I can say about this issue.

Answer 4

Pro Choice. Making it illegal will not stop a woman from choosing to end an unwanted pregnancy. The problem is that this is defined in absolutes. There is a middle ground. When taken to extremes, you'll see...

"Your 11 year old daughter is brutally raped by a serial rapist and misses a period"

"A woman (because it's legal) has 8 abortions a year instead of practicing birth control"

These extremes COULD help create a middle ground. However, it likely won't happen.

let every child be a wanted child. I don't see any less of a crime of brutalizing a child, slowly killing them over time than to end a pregnancy before true, viable life begins.

peace.

Answer 5

Pro-life. No one has the "right" to "choose" to kill another innocent human being, and that's exactly what every single abortion does. By the time most women know they are pregnant (just 3 weeks after conception), their baby's heart is already beating. Killing innocent human beings is wrong. It's not complicated.

Answer 6

Pro-Choice. The big problem, as I see it, is that educated people around the world have fewer babies and the poor segment of the population have many more babies and a lot of those are single mothers.

Poor people are a big drag on the welfare systems and therefore is an increase in our taxes.

Crime is most often from the poor and poor single mothers. In my province the government is bragging a bout our population growth and most this growth is from the poor areas where gangs and violence rules.

Although I hate singling out a specific group I think that people in poor. gang ridden areas should should have a surgery to prevent them from conceiving and if necesary aborting their babies.

This consequence of not managing our births will devolve our society.

Answer 7

Both, I think Liberals should be Pro Choice, and Conservatives
should be Pro Life. If they go in that direction, there is some
hope for the future.

Answer 8

Pro Life

I used to think abortion was not my problem. I started to look into why people have them and those who militantly support abortion.

I learned

1. Most abortions are people who have sex and do not want a child. I started to realize that this is grossly irresponsible. If you want to have sex, you must understand that you can get pregnant and that if you do, a child needs a married mom and dad. That is optimal and society must not promote anything less.

2. There is a slippery slope. People now use abortion to kill children with birth defects, which is wrong. They also use it to get physical characteristics like sex, hair color, etc. A child is a living breathing human. You cannot return it because you do not like what you get and designer babies violates nature and God.

3. I have seen the militant nature of the pro-abortion people. They say it is her body and none of your business. Bring up my first point and they flip out. Their whole argument is strictly emotional.

4. Also on the slippery slope argument is what is next? People now want euthanasia. What is next, killing old people because it costs too much to care for them? Then what, human cloning? Many who support unfettered abortion would support any of this because there is no moral standard that they live by. Christianity sets these standards for which I refer.

Answer 9

A woman has a right to choose what happens to her body but if women only use abortion as birth control then that is wrong. However, noone has the right to place laws on anothers bodies. Going by Biblical stand point, no where in the bible does it say that a woman has no right over her own body. Our government has done that.

Frankly, a law should be passed that states that when a man turns 30 he must get a vasectomy and if he doesn't, he goes directly to jail. Of course, Congress will say that is ludicrous but it is no more ludicrous placing laws on womens bodies. These laws that are on womens bodies, must be removed. It's time that Congress knows where we women stand on our rights.

Answer 10

Pro-life but also pro-contraception. Plan-B and morning after pills are fine and should be available over the counter.

I was pro-life after reading this recent piece by George Will:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16720750/site/newsweek/

"As women age, their risk of having a Down syndrome baby increases. It has become standard practice for women older than 35 years old to be offered genetic counseling and diagnostic testing. But because of the higher fertility rates of women under 35, such women have 80 percent of Down syndrome babies. So new ACOG guidelines recommend that all pregnant women, regardless of age, be offered such counseling and testing.

The ACOG guidelines are formally neutral concerning what decisions parents should make on the basis of the information offered. But what is antiseptically called "screening" for Down syndrome is, much more often than not, a search-and-destroy mission: At least 85 percent of pregnancies in which Down syndrome is diagnosed are ended by abortions."
