I'm confused..... What are the political options for abortion?

Question

Pro-life?
Pro-choice?
Pro-Abortion?
Are those all options?
Can you explain them to me?

Oh cause somebody said they were pro abortion and i didn't know what to think.

Answer 1

Pro life means that you believe life begins at conception and since that is the case noone has the right to choose to murder their innocent baby for their own selfish purposes unless it is to save her own life, in that case it is not murder but self defense.


Pro choice means you think it is up to a woman to decide whether or not to let her baby live or die just to make her own selfish life a bit easier.

Pro abortion, and they do exist, people push to keep abortion not just legal, but a perfectly acceptable option to pregnancy in society.

Abortion for any other reason other then to save the life of the mother is despicable. A humans life cycle is very clear. Embryo, fetus, infant, child, adolescents, adulthood, eldery. Each stage of development, if left naturally, leads to the next in a humans life. At each stage we are physiologically and psychologically different, but no less human. At many of these stages we depend on others to survive and probably wouldnt without other humans. To unaturally stop this development process at any stage for a reason besides self defense or not based on an action taken by the individual, such as murder rape, etc, is just wrong. What are you doing when you have an abortion. You are ending the development of your human child in order to make your life easier. It is 9 months of a womans life to incubate a human, sometimes less. After that she can give that child up to a family that wants to raise him or her. To stop that development and murder your childs life for your own selfish inconvenience of 9 months is just one of the most self centered despicable actions any woman can ever take. You dont have the right to do it. You conceive a human, you at least have the decency to make sure that person stays alive until another person can take care of it. It is amazing to think that some people think its not ok to leave a newborn infant to die in a trash can, but to think it was perfectly ok to suction out that child a few months, weeks or even days before that child was born and throw it away legally in a trash can.

I truly truly hope that very soon in the future abortion will be looked back on as some barbaric sick ritual primitive humans use to perform out of some selfish need to wish for a better lives for their own selfcentered selves.

Answer 2

Hopefully, no one is actually pro-abortion. However, those who are pro-choice think that the mother should have the choice of an abortion if she sees fit. Pro-life advocates think that it is wrong to terminate a pregnancy.

Many people are somewhere in the middle and think that there is a certain point in a pregnancy past which an abortion is wrong unless the life of the mother is at risk.

I hope that cleared things up for you. I tried to give an impartial answer.

Answer 3

Abortion should be a moral decision between a pregnant woman and God. It's not a political option.

But they make it one so pro life means no abortion. Pro choice means a woman has the right to choose an abortion.

Pro abortion doesn't exist. No one likes abortions.

Answer 4

Nobody is pro-abortion. Pro-abortion means you think abortions are a good idea, and that everyone should have one.

Anti-choice means that you believe the govt should make reproductive choices for everyone, and that people should not have the right to make those kinds of personal decisions.

The most common anti-choice position is pro-life, where the people believe the govt should prohibit abortion. Another common anti-choice position (in China, for example) is that the govt can also mandate abortion.

Pro-choice is the opposite of anti-choice. It argues that reproductive decisions should be personal, and not subject to govt control. Pro-choice oppose both govt mandatory abortion and govt prohibited abortion. They believe the govt has no right or authority to make personal reproductive decisions in either position.

In the US, current laws protect reproductive choice as a fundamental right, with Planned Parenthood v. Casey being the current legal standard (called the "undue burden" test). If that case (and other cases) are overturned, then states can mandate any type of reproductive choice -- forced abortion, forced sterilization, mandatory impregnation -- anything.

So, the real legal issue is whether the decision should be made by the individual or by the govt.

Answer 5

Pro-Life: The term that people who are against abortion use for themselves.
Anti-Choice: The term that people use to paint Pro-Lifers in a bad light.
Pro-Choice: The term that people who are okay with abortion use for themselves.
Pro-Abort: The term Pro-lifers assign to "Pro-Choicers" in order to more accurately frame the issue.

Answer 6

For abortion: pro choice
Against abortion: pro life

That's basically it, although there are some gray areas in between, such as those who think abortion should only be legal in cases of rape or to save the life of the mother.

Answer 7

I wouldn't say no one is pro-abortion but very few are, I'm sure. I would say pro-life or pro-choice but there are varying degrees depending on circumstances.

Answer 8

Pro-life: People believe a fetus is a person , thus they have rights.
Pro-Choice: Its a womens body so its her choice what she wants to do with it.
My opinion Pro-Choice but it should be up to the individual states not the federal government.

Answer 9

I am pro abortion. Abortion is a natural right that each person is born with and one that cannot be regulated by the government without drastic harm to the citizen. From the beginning of recorded history, every woman has had the natural option to end a pregnancy. And men have participated in abortion in both a negative and positive fashion. From the beginning it has been impossible for any government to stop abortion. Women have used methods as simple as a punch in the belly to as complicated as self abortion with surgical instruments. It can be done in private, and it is impossible to tell some abortions from miscarriage.
Abortion, because it is natural and impossible to stop is largely free from impact of any law. Abortion will happen no matter what.
Abortion is natural and is comfortable to the human mind. Like miscarriage, abortion is painful, yet it resolves problems that are much more dangerous than losing the fetus. Nature has given man the ability to procreate. Procreation is associated with pleasure. Avoiding sex is not pleasurable. The result of the quest for pleasure is the production of more life than nature has the capacity to support.
Sex is pleasurable, and loafing is pleasurable to many people. So the incentives in nature are to procreate, yet to not support the children that are created.
Nature to compound the problem has instilled in man the ability to influence others with wrong ideas, even when the ideas are foolish. One foolish idea is the pro life position. What we end up with in nature is the sexual pleasure, the pleasure of resting without working to support our offspring, and finally the pro life induced pleasure of feeling good about bringing into the world a child we cannot support. Regardless of the fact that it kills the children of our neighbors.
As a tool to counter our foolishness and slothfulness, nature made abortion almost impossible to stop. And with each new pill, the ability to abort without government sanction is even more successful. Women that are wise and weigh the value of the child against the harm done to other children and themselves have always had the ability to abort and have always practiced abortion. Of course, abortion is used for other reasons also.
It is very easy to prove that the pro life idea is flawed, http://www.prolifeismurder.com because the effects are easily ascertained by looking at the world as it exists today. Each time a "fetus" is saved it causes the death of as many as 12 loved and wanted children. And the world is filled with children that are suffering due to the pro life position.
http://www.childwelfare.gov/systemwide/statistics/adoption.cfm 100 million children are suffering today, due to the fact that the pro life hucksters are selling them out simply for self gratification. It is a cruel world when fetuses are brought into a world when it is known that nearly all of them will either suffer or cause suffering. Though abortion cannot be stopped because some women are to smart to fool, others will listen to the hucksters and fill the world with those destined to suffer.
It is also true that the pro choice cadre is guilty of causing the death of these children. Why? Because they do not stand up and fight for the right to abort. Wanting to feel good about themselves, they do not stand up for what is right. They call themselves pro choice and not pro abortion.
Abortion is not right every time but it is right when it stops the suffering of others or the future child. The pro choice movement should tell the truth that abortion is good for mankind and preferable to allowing children already born to die or suffer.

Answer 10

The only option to legal abortions are back-alley abortions. Forcing young women to have dangerous, illegal abortions is not an option to me.
