Of the pro-choice crowd, what percentage do you think are pro-abortion?

Roughly 100%

The problem with the abortion argument is that the two sides are not talking about the same things.

To pro-life sometime between a males ejaculation and several minutes later a new human life exists with all the rights and ethical protections of any other human life. The end.

To pro-choice a pregnancy is a process and at some point between several weeks and several months (depending on who you ask) after a woman becomes pregnant there is a new life which should be protected. The difference is pro-choice is the argument about when this thing becomes a person and when a woman's rights must be weighed against her child's. Pro-life is the certainty that it was a person the moment a man ejaculated into a woman and must be protected from anyone who denies it's person-hood. The woman's rights are not an issue at all.

I am pro-choice; I believe that abortion is a legitimate reproductive healthcare choice. That abortion should be rare doesn't make sense; abortion only happens when you have an unintended/unwanted pregnancy or one with complications. It's like saying "chemotherapy should be safe, legal, and rare" . . . well yeah, we'd like chemotherapy to be rare, but that means making cancer rare- just like making abortions rare isn't a goal (after all, you can certainly make abortions more rare without reducing unintended pregnancies if you take away women's access to them). We want to make unintended pregnancy rare, because women tend to prefer not getting pregnant in the first place over needing an abortion. Calling for abortion to be rare not only misses the point, but also stigmatizes the procedure.

Tim Tebow's ad was a controversy because it was from Focus on the Family, a notorious organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled a "hate group" and which lobbies and seeks to influence policymaking and legislation. The choice to sell advertising time to such a group- even if you believe the message to be innocuous- was unprecedented at the time; a simple church ad welcoming LGBT members was rejected in the past, for example.

"If you believe that ANY deterents [sic] to abortions are wrong, your probably a pro-abortion person."

Lol, nope. I'm pro-choice, and that means not exerting any pressure on someone- not to talk them into an abortion, and not to talk them out of one. Individual clinics already do counseling one-on-one with the prospective patient; there's no need to pass legislation.

There are certainly anti-choice peeps who label themselves "pro-choice" erroneously; I'd say they make up about 5-10% of pro-choicers.

Hope that helps!

professional selection. i do not precisely approve abortion as an ethical selection, yet i imagine that if a lady needs to get an abortion, she must have each properly to. i'd under no circumstances get one myself until eventually there became an difficulty that could properly be risky to me and/or the infant (such as ectopic being pregnant) or if I were ever raped (God forbid). I also imagine that no count what the regulation says, all of us is continually going to wish abortions. i'd a lot really have those human beings get their abortions performed in a sparkling enviroment by a healthcare professional who's conscious what the hell they're doing than in some back alley with a coat hanger.

This guy for Reason TV asked liberals the same question at the democratic convention the other week

Funny, Tebow and his mom CHOSE to be anti-abortion...and the libs hate their CHOICE

OK butthole, if adoption is such a great alternative let gay and lezbo couples adopt!

Probably about 30%.
