Pro-life / Pro-choice?

I try to vote for people who establish the ability to reason and stick with their positions.

ProLife/ProChoice is a position that I see politician vacillating on continually, so I understand that basing my vote on what they claim about Abortion isn't a wise thing to do.

I am guessing you voted for Bush because of his Pro-Life stance right? What did he do for your issue?

At some point, the Abortion proponents and detractors should take the time to look at the people they are voting for on this issue. Neither side really does anything accept use it to get votes. If the abortion issue was solved, then politicians would lose a strong platform issue to point to.

Republican Politicians have no motivation to really solve the problem, it is too handy in getting them votes..

Pro Choice

Pro-life? So that would mean that absolutley all human life is sacred even the undeveloped ones. So how far back do we take this? Is a women effectively killing a possible baby every time she menstruates? Are we dooming the next savior by not screwing anytime the opportunity presents itself? How about masturbation? Is that sinful because maybe the pearl jam left on the kleenex contains the second coming? With how cheaply fully developed human life is treated it seems silly to me to abort ones that that don;t even have a pulse yet. I am pro-choice 100%. Think about if say the population of india could be cut into 2/3 in one generation. Poverty there would be drastically reduced. We have to many people on earth to live comforably. There is a reason the more education you have the less kids you have. Either have less kids or prepare for a world in which we live in sqaulor and poverty

I don't feel the government should have the ability to make moral or medical choices for us.

I'm pro-choice. That being said, I'm concerned with the trampling of the constitution by our government with the use of the patriot act and other such issues.

I would never have an abortion. I am nevertheless pro choice.

I am pro-choice because I believe that ALL children who are born, should be born into a world where they are wanted. To bring a child into a family that doesn't want it...to burden a family with more children than it can properly care for...to condemn an innocent to foster homes in lieu of a real family...seems far worse to me than ending the pregnancy.

When all of the orphanages are empty...when we don't need social service programs to help support the ever-increasing population with some semblance of dignity...when every single child is loved and wanted from the moment it comes into the world...when no child is ever conceived due to rape or incest or other despicable practice...then and only then would I ever consider becoming "pro-life."

Pro-life, but I have to say Bubbha Jo (spelling) makes a very good point. We are all so very sure of ourselves, having never faced a particular situation. How do we really know what we would do if we were facing some horrific situation? We know for sure what we would HOPE we would do, what we believe in, nothing more.

I'd also add that the politicians who are strongly pro-life have done nothing about it but talk and, actually, they haven't even done much of that since getting elected.

It's complex. As we are naturally drawn to protect the lives of fellow humans even far away, so equally are we drawn to protect the potential life of the foetus in the womb. But I believe it's a personal choice of the mother, first and last, and no-one else should interfere in her choice, for any reason whatsoever. I particularly object to anyone with a belief system different from my own trying to affect the way I live personally when it doesn't directly affect any other SENTIENT being - life's for the living - and we live with the consequences of our own actions..

Mine is keeping religion out of politics. So many Christians are determined to push their religion into our daily lives.

Example: Abortion should not be an affair of the state and courts, but the decision of the woman. Most pro-choice do not believe in abortion, but they do not feel the state has the right to control it.

Plus, abortion will not stop------Christians will only make it go into backrooms and dangerous situations. Keep it legal and keep it safe.

I would never base how I vote on one issue. I do care about human life, and that includes being against war and the death penalty, and for stricter gun control.

It seems that the candidates who support those things aren't usually labeled "pro-life" because of their stance on abortion.

While I do have my own opinions on pro-life/pro-choice, I think there are much bigger issues that would first influence my vote.

I favor restricting abortions to 22 weeks (this coincides with the development of the neocortex) except when the mothers life is in danger.

I guess I'm both.
