If you consider yourself "pro-life", why doesn't it apply to all life?
That's a very misleading term if you ask me because quite a few of you support the war and occupation of Iraq, which kills soldiers and civilians by the hundreds.
How are you able to decide which life is worth living and which life can be extinguished w/o a single thought of remorse?
Help me to understand why you are "pro-life" but only in lives you consider to be worthy of living.

I am pro-life except in certain instances. Like Mrs. Bush should have had a few abortions to save us from this hell we are in.

I think that's a great question. Pro-life is misleading not only for the reasons you mentioned but also it infers an antithesis, Pro-Death. If I were to mention I believe a woman's body is her domain it would not be uncommon to hear "so you beleive in killing babies?" No, I don't, I don't care for abortion, I find it a grotesques practice but I also find laws dictating what you can do with your body even more grotesque. Then if I were to ask "how to you plan to support all those unwanted babies you saved?" I never get a straight answer. I hear about Jesus, I hear about the "culture of life", but never a real solution. If you keep listening you'd hear about guns, war, and the death penalty. The hypocracy and irrational reasoning is staggering.

Please use your head and think for yourself instead of bringing up tired old cliches, if you had the chance to kill Mao would you? what about Hitler? how about Stalin? Sadaam Hussien? Osama Bin Laden? duh some people just deserve to die.
Obviously everyone deserves a chance at life and I am pro life because I believe in STANDING UP FOR THE INNOCENT, and who is more innocent than an unborn child?
And by the way I put my money where my mouth is, I served in the Iraqi war, and support pro-life causes.
There are people who have done things in their life that means they have lost the right to live, that is why it is ok for people to support pro-life causes and still believe in capitol punishment.
I also realize it is acceptable for someone like me to be killed by an enemy combatant, not that I want it to happen but I knew that it could happen when I joined the military. And I will gladly risk my life for the innocent or even die for them because its the right thing to do. Think of your children if you have any, or a young niece, nephew etc, and tell me you wouldn't risk your life to save their own, just look into their eyes and tell yourself that, if you can you are one cold hearted dude,
A murdering scumbag terrorist or criminal IS NOT equal to an innocent child, and if you think that one is, you need a serious lesson in morality.

I am pro life.
On the war topic: Sadam Hussein killed 400,000 of his own people in a mass burial. Thats called genocide. In fact, I have been learning a lot about the Holocaust lately, and, though that is not the same amount of people or the pain the Jews and other groups suffered, it does seem to be just like a little Holocaust, doesn't it? Except that this time, instead of the allies just letting it go on for a long time, we stopped it early. So, I think that in the long run, we will be saving a lot of lives by taking someone brutal out of power, don't you?

I am pro life
abortion is murder! The child has done nothing wrong! 100% INNOCENT
killed out of pure hate and irresponsibility!
you fail to understand
that the taking of ones life and the giving of ones life are to different things
the best gift you can give a person is life!
The military is 100% VOLINTEER!
they are Giving thier life so that you can have yours!
as far as the death penalty
i support that only because they do not kill just anyone
only the ones who delt massive damage to society! they are a future danger!
why should we have to pay for them to have free room and board a roof over thier heads and pay the family retrebution, because they commited henious crimes
IF they started killing EVERYONE for any crime i would have issues
but you tell the family who just lost thier 5 year old to a child rapist/murderer that he doesnt deserve to die!
that we cant kill him because he can be rehabilitated!

Ok I'll type slow so you can follow me. The Iraqis are being killed by the insurgents. I don't believe that American soldiers are shooting civilians. The soldiers volunteered for service. Would it be any difference if they were on the border getting shot by drug smugglers. Fetuses on the other hand have no choice. So to flip it on you if you are so "PRO-CHOICE" what about the fetuses choice.

Comparing War to killing a child is just silly. Wars are something that has to happen. Killing children does not.
Protecting yourself or your country is not the same thing as taking a baby's head and ripping apart its brain because you don't want the responsibility.

I prefer to think of myself as "pro-contraception."
And no, I do not support Bush's Crusade.
I could never imagine why a woman would want to have to submit to a surgical procedure to terminate a pregnancy when she (or he) could have just as easily used some simple contraception. I mean, how horny does one have to be to abandon all common sense?
And I hope to God I don't see any Con nonsense like "only libs have abortions," cause we all know that's BS.
Although, I also believe in what Dennis Miller said, back in the day, before his "9-11 conversion":
"...if men were the ones getting pregnant, abortions would be easier to get than food poisoning in Moscow."

Nope. Pro-Death.
The Pro-life crowd thinks the innocent deserve to live, while the less innocent, like adults - especially adults who commit murder or make war on said pro-lifer's country - can fend for themselves.

Of course I am pro life if you are referring to abortion. If you can tell me ANYTHING that is not alive yet the cells of which divide and multiply then I'll reconsider my position but we all know that at the INSTANT of conception that one, single cell almost is instantly two, then four, then eight..ad infinitum. And that's ALIVE and to abort it is murder. Abortion does not make you UNpregnant, it makes you the mother of a dead baby.
