Sloan R, Rarely Any Gray Areas, Really? Nice to Have the Luxury to Make Such a Supposition for Others.

Sloan R, Thanks but I Thought Many Times About Opposites, as a Child, but I Grew Up, and Realized Many Things Were Not So Simple, Apparently, you Are Still a Child.

I don't think so....but my wife had to undergo two MTPs, both times because she had unwittingly taken antibiotics during her first trimy. Rather than risk a baby (both times) with some deformity or other, we chose MTPs. But after the second one I felt an 'otherworldly' kind of depression.........as if I had made a wrong choice or something like that.

I was briefly acquainted with a woman one time that was. She said one night that all children were better off dead and that abortion was the most expedient way to that end. I usually was around her drunk at the bar and never really paid close attention to her. This particular night a friend and I were invited to her apartment, where as the evening progressed she began acting stranger and stranger, until she finally made her startling proclamation. At this point I had to go, however my drinking buddy was interested in staying and having sexual relations with her. I told him that at least he didn't have to worry about using birth control and an unwanted pregnancy or child occurring from the union. We later found out that she was a documented mental basket case. So, I guess she doesn't count, eh?
Pro Life / Pro Death there really is no in between. Even though I try to walk the fence, rarely is there any gray area in life. Life is mainly just a bunch of polar opposites. Think about it.
Md Greg C, Yes it is wonderful to make such lofty judgements about the human condition and feel absolutely sure of myself when doing so. Sometime when you can't sleep at night, think about most everything and then think about there opposites. You'll probably still be awake at sunrise. There may be a few insignificant variants, but at the heart of the matter it will either be "this" or "that".
"Suffer the children to come unto me, blah blah blah and blah blah blah, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven". Jesus Christ.
Yes Md Greg C, I do try to remain childlike in many ways and Christlike in others, but far to many times end up like my fallen brother Lucifer and partake in the things of the world such as this forum that he so freely reigns over.

I don't think anyone really advocates for the aborting of fetuses. I suspect, pro-abortion is just a perspective *some* fanatical anti-abortionists project onto pro-choice advocates.
There are very individual circumstances surrounding the decision to abort as well as why a woman could not or would not give a child up for adoption. It is also a very emotionally and physically painful choice.
The fanatical, predetermined, black and white minds of *some* anti-abortionist's one-sided arguments can not envision and grasp this. So, it is easy to see and understand how this same camp might also misconstrue the meaning and value of pro-choice.
EDIT: Justgetitright: Are you familiar with either the term, self-righteousness, but particularly, the fallacy of misplaced concreteness?

"Pro choice" is not "pro abortion". To choose to complete an un-intended pregnancy is pro choice also. (in China, you are only allowed to have one child per couple. Those who wish to have more children, or choose to bring an unintended pregnancy to completion pay penalties for it) Choosing to use birth control to prevent an unplanned pregnancy is pro choice. Unfortunately, some people wish to view preventing an unplanned pregnancy with birth control as being the same thing as having an abortion. Those who do choose abortion don't do so lightly, but because they feel cornered in a bad situation where they feel abortion is the only choice they can make, either because of an accident, or because of a threat to health, or some other compelling reason, such as rape, and I am sure it's a choice they would really rather not have to make.

I can honestly say I am not pro-abortion, but I would hate to think that because people decide that it would be wrong to have an abortion that poor kid is condemned to live in a household full of people that were willing to have him/her killed. I have a hard time believing that is a healthy environment to grow up in.
Orphanages are nothing I would wish on my worst enemy either. Its really a catch22 if those are the circumstances. Honestly, as much as i dont like killing a baby before it has a chance to decide for itself, I hate thinking it would be my fault it was born into an abusive, or even worse, neglected house.
You can't force morality.

No, they are pro-murder, a fetus is a living being, name one thing in this world that when living does not grow until it reaches maturity. I have heard all the crap about a fetus can't survive outside of the womb on its own, well first and foremost it never gets the chance, secondly a 3month old can not survive on its own outside the womb either, it needs the help of its MOTHER.
Edit: Note to Asker,Sorry to disagree but until humans start giving birth to something else, it is a human and is human life.
Edit:Note to Barry, nowhere in the Constitution is separation of Church and State mentioned

Oh, come on everybody! This is just a silly "insult" to people who are pro-choice. They might as well say "Anti-life." (I haven't heard that one yet--pretty good, huh?)
You know, those people who are against stem cell research that could help & save thousands of lives, from a fetus is that is going to be tossed anyway.
Ah. BEWARE THE SLIPPERY SLOPE! Women would be getting pregnant like rabbits, and...and...

All who do not believe in punishing people for taking a human life. People can try to skirt the issue and say that being pro-choice for abortion, somehow differs from being pro abortion.
Ex: If a person opposes a law against stealing. By proxy, they support others who choose to steal.

Well, Pro- Abortion isnt really the way to put it. There are people who are against it, and people who think that the woman should have the choice. I don't think there is anyone who feels that any unexpected or unwanted baby should neccessarily be aborted.

Nobody I know. As far as I know, pro choice just means women could be in charge of their bodies and that babies should be born who are wanted. Not bad ideas, until we reach utopia and there is no rape, no incest, and equitable treatment of the sexes
(Good Question)
