Pro-lifer poll: If you are against a womans right to choose, are you?

Question

also against the death penalty and wars?

Answer 1

Most people who are pro-life are also anti-choice -- in fact for many, their anti-choice position is stronger than their pro-life position.

And from an anti-choice perspective, both war and the death penalty make perfect sense -- in all cases, the person feels that only the govt should make decisions regarding life and death, and that it should never be up to the individual.

Answer 2

This question is very biased. An unbiased way to ask would be do you agree or disagree with abortion. By asking are you against a women's right to choose, anyone that says yes will seem as if they don't think women have a right to choose anything (because they are women).

I think women as well as men have the right to choose things, but if men were able to conceive i would also be against men "having the right to choose". I think no man or woman has the right to determine whether someone will live or not. No one knows how an unborn child will be, the things they will achieve, or what they may become so they have no right in cutting that child's life short. Think of you, what if you were aborted, you would not have the opportunity to live life!

I am for the death penalty, there are some people out there that commit attrocities and will never change, Oklahoma city Bombing, 9/11, etc. keeping them in this earth is only a hazard to the world and it's people.

I think wars should be fought when necessary. If the U.S. had an anti-war mentality, then well we wouldn't even be here, there would be no U.S. Some wars are necessary in order to defend this nation, it's peopple, their rights and freedom, and from protecting the people from reliving things like Pearl Harbor or 9/11. i guess in the news we only hear about negative things, but we don't hear about attacks we have prevented and things we have achieved.

Answer 3

Choose, smoose--we all know that when it comes to innocent life (and the key word here is "innocent") that no one should make that choice. That's also the difference between the abortion debate and the death penalty debate. In the first case, we are talking about innocent life, in the second, guilty. The second is also about justice--if you take a life, your life should also be taken. Any deterrence benefit this may have is just a side benefit.

When it comes to wars, the same principle applies. If the war is fought for the right reason--that is, to end tyrranny and murder on the part of another government or entity, it is to stop the spilling of innocent blood, and to take the lives and power away from those who do.

Answer 4

I am against using abortion as a form of birth control. I am NOT against "a woman's right to choose." I simply think they should make the CHOICE to use birth control and condoms BEFORE they get pregnant. Is that so hard? Or maybe, they should make the choice to NOT HAVE SEX if they don't want children. Of course, these things don't apply to victims of rape, nor do they apply to women who have no choice but to abort, because their life is at stake.

As for the death penalty, I don't like it, and I wouldn't say that I'm "for" it. However, if a person KNOWINGLY commits murder when they KNOW the penalty could be death, THEY essentially chose to die. I think the death penalty should only be used in extreme cases, though, and ONLY if the person's guilt is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

As for war, I don't think ANYONE is "for" it. I think sometimes it's a necessary evil; for example, WWII. I'm still making up my mind on the war in Iraq. I probably won't decide on it until it's over.

Does that answer your question?

Answer 5

I once thought it to be the woman's choice as to if she kept her child or not, but after watching someone very close to me attempt to give up the right, I now believe that women should accept the consequences of their actions.

I don't think it's fair for a woman to kill their own child because it is inconvenient to them. Some women choose to have abortions because it creates tension in their lives, like if they had the child with someone other than their mate, or it just impedes on their lifestyle, like partying. These are terrible reasons to get rid of a child, but it does show that the woman is not mature enough to accept the responsibility.

As I stated earlier, there are good reasons for not continuing the pregnancy. If early on, a woman finds that her child is severely handicapped in some way, I would understand an abortion. If she was a victim of rape, or if she was a child herself, I could understand the situation better.

The best way to avoid being in the position to choose is to avoid the problem all together. There are so many forms of birth control out there for women (that are free if they go to a woman's health clinic) that there is no good excuse for "accidentally" getting pregnant. The child should not have to be comprimised because the woman doesn't feel like being a mother.

As for the death penalty, I believe that some people do truly deserve to die for crimes that they commited, but I don't think that our society is capable of making a clear decision. There are so many people that have clouded judgement because of personal experience or lack of knowledge that they can't make a legitimate choice. Too many people have been convicted of crimes that they have not commited just because they didn't seem "right" to the jury.

War is another touchy subject. I don't think we should have them, but they are innevitable. It is in our nature to try to dominate over others and lay our claim to what we believe to be ours.

I don't think that there will be any progress in these subjects in our lifetime. People need to be better informed and prepared for the decisions that they make.

Answer 6

I am not against a woman's right to choose, just about when the time comes to decide. There are steps that can be taken beforehand called CON-TRA-CEP'-TION. I don't consider this a religious issue, though. I don't need the Bible to teach me about the medical disassembly of an innocent baby. I don't see the commonality of the question to the death penalty, unless the fetus has been convicted of premeditated murder. And War? Although it rears its head as a necessary duty I think everyone who is not islamic is against war. I can't imagine someone supporting war as an institution except a madman.

Answer 7

The death penalty and abortion are not even close to being in the same catagory. No baby has ever raped and murdered people.
The death penalty is used to punish those that did....

Personally I am opposed to the death penalty but not for the same reasons the beatnicks are. It is TOO humane. Justice would be letting the victims family decide the method of death, not taking a nap and simply not waking up. Lethal injection is letting people of easy if they have commited atrocities towards society.

The unborn have only the mother to protect them, Shouldnt they be able to depend on that?

Answer 8

I am not against womens right to choose I think they should have an equal say in everything, I am also not against death penalty I think its better than life sentence but I am against wars...

Answer 9

I am all for women's rights. it is a womans' right to choose certain things. and i am for the death penalty, but against wars

Answer 10

I'm pro birth control (with all the bc around today especially). I believe in the death penalty in certain cases and the same with war (Saddam was a murdering dictator).

Now,on the other hand,someone can ask why people who are anti-war and anti-death penalty,do not see abortion as taking life. Just another flip side to the same subject,
