Pro Life surely means in favor of living, isn't that so conservatives?
Not just pro life for Fetuses, but Iraqi and Afghani kids, women, mothers, fathers and grandparents... Right?

Yes....it's funny how they have no concern for those that have already been born.

Pro-life means against abortion
Pro-abortion ban means pro- big government and pro-taxes to support enforcement.

I'm a conservative and I would never have an abortion, but I can't tell anyone what to do with their own body. I also realize that if abortion were made illegal people would resort to desperate, dangerous measures to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy.
When has a "fetus" strapped a bomb to itself and blown itself up in a populous area? Iraqis have a right to live. More Iraqis have been killed by their own people than by our military.

I'm a pro choice guy, but I think your question is misleading and biased. According to your statements, we should have never went to war in Germany during WWII, because our bombings killed innocent people. Look, sometimes things need to be done that aren't always fair to the people that are on the receiving end, but must be done anyhow. Also, if you're so concerned, why haven't you mentioned pro life for the US soldiers that are serving in the Middle East today. Your views are one sided, your questions are biased, and your reasons aren't well thought out enough to warrant being an actual argument.

Pro-life was a label deliberately chosen to counter "pro-choice"; media consultants made the case that it was more effective to use positive-term labels (pro-life, vs anti-abortion or anti-choice).
The term does not, in its current usage, reflect an all-encompassing literal value.

The correct term is Pro-life-for-those-have-not-been-born. After that, you're own your own. And if you're in a hot spot geological area (middle east), pro-life means pro-life-for-sixty-seconds.
Funny thing is, pro-lifers don't realize how close they are to pro-choicers. Both are against abortion, but the only difference is the government's role.

I disagree. You have to understand, we are doing our best to protect people over there, and what we are trying to do is just really hard. No shortcuts. No cookbook, you are going to make mistakes.
Concerning Pro-Life, I believe we should err to the side of preserving life whenever we can, especially when it comes down to protecting a lifestyle (in the case of having an abortion) versus a life.

Nope.
I believe in cultural diversity. So while I'm pro-life for native born Americans I really don't give crap about the rest of the world.
It just pisses me off that the Arabs wait until their kids are old enough to be strapped to bombs before they get rid of them.
Ah well...diversity.

Have you heard this great news:
KABUL, Afghanistan - Six years after the Taliban's ouster, medical care in Afghanistan has improved such that nearly 90,000 children who would have died before age 5 in 2001 will survive this year, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Sunday.

Actually Pro Life does pretty much mean in favor of life for the innocent. Is this hard for you to understand? You can claim it means something else if that helps you make some weak point your wasting all of our time trying to make. But that doesn't make your definition accurate.
