shouldn't a real pro-life person advocate and vote for issues which will save the most lives....?

Question

instead of focusing and advocating against abortion? focusing on issue like education, health care, prevention programs, etc. will assure saving more lives and a better quality of life as well.
if one does otherwise he or she is not really pro-life but merely anti-abortionist!

Answer 1

An extremely good question.

And your logic is without fault, by facing the problem at it's root.

Yes, the key issue of education is something that in these times is left at a minimum.
The problem is that a lot of people like to criticise others for their mistakes while not lifting a finger to help them before they make those mistakes.

A good education program would also face the gross problem of ignorance which allows these thing to happen, both unwanted babies and hypocritical busy bodies.

Ignorance is always the biggest problem and you don't need to go far to find example of it.

A better social structure leads to a better society.

Answer 2

I totally agree.

The fact of the matter is no one likes abortion, whether they're in the "pro-life" or "pro-choice" camp. I think almost everyone wishes we could get to a point where abortion just didn't happen (except in emergency cases) for women/couples faced with a pregnancy.

I've never understood why people on both sides of this issue can't seem to come together to educate men and women, prevent unwanted pregnancies (thus reducing the number of abortions), and provide more options and support for mothers and their children. Instead, everyone wastes their energy screaming about whether or not abortion should be legal and if it's murder.

Regardless of which side of the abortion debate you're on, can't we all agree that preventing women from being in situations where they feel like abortion is the only option is something we should all be working for?

Answer 3

this is the comparable as women human beings, or adult adult males for that be counted, asserting they are vote casting for Hillary purely with the aid of fact she is a girl. vote casting for one concern, or one reason while we've such multiple is punctiliously stupid. Huckabee may well be conservative socially, yet fiscally he's worse than any of the Dem applicants. to boot, Bush has already put in good justices interior the appropriate court. this is the only actual deterrent to abortion a l. a. carte besides. purely with the aid of fact Huckabee is professional-life does no longer propose that abortions will unexpectedly be made unlawful. If we'd like a real conservative by and by, Thompson nonetheless merits a closer look. he's the only actual conservative socially and economically.

Answer 4

The best education, best health care, best prevention programs will do nothing if people can still legally kill their children. The problem is a law that allows this to take place. Pro-life is anti-abortion, if being pro-life makes me anti-abortionist I say: no kidding. I don't need you to redefine what it means or what I should be doing, people shouldn't be killing their children, bottom line.

Answer 5

The Pro-Life label is a misnomer. What they really favor is punishment, which they have labeled as "responsibility." They feel that, if a person has sex, they must pay the consequences, come what may. Then, when those little consequences come along, the Republicans want no part in helping raise them, no matter what the situation. "You breed 'em, you feed 'em" is their mantra.

They seem to be able to ignore hungry children, children with poor nutrition, rotting teeth, bone loss, failing eyesight, no health care, and the early deaths these situations bring about. Nor do they have pity for the poorer elderly, who depend upon SS because of their own faults and laziness, in the minds of the rightwing crowd.

They support War, not defensive wars, but aggressive, Crusading wars that pillage and destroy, since they feel God is on their side and will help them save Israel.

It is the most twisted, frightening line of thought since Attila, the Hun reigned in terror, in my opinion, just one tiny step from a fascist view of the world. But it has allowed many ministers to afford private jets and Armani suits, and helps the President fashion his misinformation, so what can one do?

Answer 6

I totally agree, its a much more positive step.

I have never understood the reasoning behind the whole pro-life people that are pro-war. If you think about it there are so many Innocent's killed in war and the pro-life people are the ones saying others are not patriots because they dis agree with the war.
Its completely contradictory with no logic but they some how find the reasoning behind it all.

It seems to me that any one who is really pro-life would be for programs to help people and end wars.

Answer 7

What makes you think they don't? Generally, people who care about protecting innocent life also care about quality education for all, health care and illness prevention, substance abuse, public safety, and fair treatment for all.

You say "merely anti-abortionist" as if it were a bad thing. Would being merely anti-genocide be equally as bad? How about being merely anti-slavery or merely anti-child molestation? There are many people who find they can be more effective focusing their efforts on a single issue rather than trying to fix everything at once.

Answer 8

Yea. Like focusing on abstinence, allowing school choice in education instead of the under performing public school system, and getting the governments mandates, regulations and restrictions out of the health care industry and allow the market to work freely. As well as allowing individuals to get health care tax breaks instead of only allowing employers that privilege. Also, allowing people to buy health coverage across state lines. Education and health care would no doubt flourish in a free market environment, and the number of abortions would surely fall with better education and the teaching of abstinence..

Answer 9

Heck, I'd just be satisfied if they promoted quality condoms be handed out at family planning centers.
At least it would actually be getting something accomplished, and avoiding some abortions.

Answer 10

Because telling people they're immoral if they're not celibate is a lot cheaper then actually doing anything meaningful. "pro-lifers" aren't so pro-life if it means their taxes go to something other than wars (which are pretty damn anti-life, come to think of it ).
