I hesitate to use the term "pro-choice" because the debate really isn't about choice, it's about innocent lives being taken. I refuse to let the argument be framed that way--"choice" is not the issue.

Answer 1

My opinion is that, the same way I have the right to be PRO CHOICE, those that want to be pro life have that option to.

My problem is with people who want to get in the face of others and try to tell them what they should or shouldn't do with their bodies, when it is clearly a personal choice. The government needs to keep its laws out of the wombs of women!

Bernard Nathanson-women have died from illegal abortions, that is a fact. The number is irrelevant, the fact that they have died is the important factor to consider.

Answer 2

The negative impact having an abortion has on the woman is one of the most ignored issues in this entire debate. The baby killers only concern is to abort as many children as possible. They offer all kinds of support to help insure that the evil deed is not interfered with. But what do they offer to help the women who experience very serious depression and guilt after wards? When a woman who aborts her baby spends the rest of her life looking at young people and realizing that her son or daughter would now be that age and is filled with regret, where are all the pro-choicers then?

Answer 3

Wait a moment, I don't want to misunderstand anything, yet it sounds as though you said this woman regrets having an abortion, so she turns around opens an abortion clinic and now claims to be pro-life. There is something really odd going on in that case. Why would she be pro-life and at the same time open up a clinic and encourage others they can get an abortion, don't you see how that undemines what she has said? Still, perhaps she is concerned for those who have medical causes/ life threatening situations. That would be a good reason and one of the best to open up an abortion clinic.

Answer 4

YO Jesus Freak listen up. We have 100000000 humans on this sickly earth! Our earth is nearly being destroyed by humans, and Christens (like you) are too ignorant and just think that abortion is "nasty and "horrible" and "murder". Well somebody that has a fetus with a horrible diesease do you want that fetus to become a baby and suffer all it's life? How about an unwanted child? Another homeless depressed druggie child. Everybody has the right to do what they want, free speech, free press. Women have the right to do what they want to their body. Why don't the damn Christens do something to help the animals? Save the animals? Or are you just waiting for the "rapture" to come and swallow you all up? We need population control, get real and face the life we're living or tune in to your ultra rightie Faux news. You should stop worrying about other people and get a life. What I think about those people? Well it's not a "child" that's murder it's a fetus. Get your words straight. Grieving the loss of her fetus Pathetic. Really it is. She didn't want it in the first place. You can't make other people's choices. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Answer 5

Of course choice is the issue. And so many people in this country are tards that choice is becoming less and less an option for Americans. In most places we can no longer dress the way we want. We can't drive the cars we want. We can't smoke. We can't drink. Face it we barely own ourselves. Cause nut jobs on both sides of the fence keep thinking they know what is good for everyone when they should stay out of other people's business.

Answer 6

I'm sure Nathanson, now pro-life, had no ulterior motives in saying the facts were "made-up," right? ha. this is the equivalent of the GW Bush camp's Swift Boat Veterans BS. None of that was true either. when people are desperate and also dishonest, a lot of lies get thrown around. i think he's lying about saying he lied, if that makes any sense.

I don't believe a word he says, and I doubt anyone else other than dogmatic pro-lifers listens to him.

in terms of your question, i guess these women just changed their minds. that is fine. i have known people who were kind, open-minded, and liberal who turned greedy and conservative later in life. some people go the dark side. that is how i view these "re-born" pro-lifers who were once pro-choice.

Answer 7

I dont know tem personally, can't say if they're good people.. But I can hardly call it pro-life. To me, it's more like pro-death, anti-choice, pro-force, pro-torture, pro-depression, anti-happiness.. Man, I could go on forever. It's their decision though whether they would rather be pro-life or pro-choice.. If they're disgusted by their previous beliefs, so be it. I'm disgusted by my previous beliefs-I was "pro-life" for a short while.

I could post a less hostile and better answer than this.. But what's the point, when with people like you.. It's just going to go in one ear and out the other? Why should I bother trying to give a decent answer to you when all you're going to do if try to shove your dictatorship beliefs down my throat?

EDIT-Rofl, Mafia Girl.. I think this is partially what I mean by you guys being pro-death.

Answer 8

People who are "abortion rights advocates" are called PRO-CHOICE. As such, the choices these people made are non of our business and beyond our judgment. So really, most will have no judgmental opinion of them.

As someone who is pro choice, I have to say that I respect your choices in this area. I just wish you would stop trying to shove your choice down my throat.

EDIT FOR ASKER

You REFUSE to frame the issue around choice? It's ALL about choice. I suggest that if you do not want to let people respond to you, that you dont ask questions. This is free expression of thought. Not you telling everyone what to think.

Answer 9

I saw a silent 1920s movie about the abortion problem. So I guess it's not new.

Answer 10

There is no question how gruesome and harrowing an epiphany the decision is. But we all began as those heart-beating little things, and how many of us grew up neglected or unwanted or abused, misguided by inept parents, taught their misshapen beliefs? Maybe not me, maybe not you, but how many? How many resulted in criminal behavior or beat their own children? How many in utero were born with alcoholic or other drug predispositions? How about if all these unwanted, mistreated, misguided, neglected, misshapen children were bused to Right To Life neighborhoods and unloaded for those women to raise? Not every sexual episode involves birth control, and not every adult is good parenting material.
