I'm pro-choice but here's my take on it.\n\nThe only difference is that abortion removes the fetus from life support before awareness begins and pulling the plug  removes a body from life support after awareness ends.

Well, I consider myself a libertarian and I am Pro-life. If the girl who implied that being a Pro-life libertarian was being less than a full libertarian knew what she was talking about, she'd know that there is no consensus among libertarians or the Libertarian party about abortion except this: no government funds should  ever be used for any abortions.\n\nMost libertarians believe that one area the government should interfer with is when one person interfers with the life of another. Sounds like abortion to me.

They're not pro-choice.  They're pro-abortion.  Ask them if they support a man's right to choose and see what kind of faces they make.

Pro-abortionists will say that the unborn baby is a product of conception.  This allows them to not have to deal with the baby issue.  They want to say that pro-lifers are anti-choice....that they are against a woman having the right to choose what happens to their body.  I think the pro-murder or anti-life (I will call them that as they like to use the anti-choice moniker) advocates don't understand that pro-lifers are trying to speak up for the choice of one who cannot be heard...the baby!  The argument that I like to use, from a Biblical sense is that God says He knew us before we were born and that He knit us together in our mother's womb.  This indicates that He began life before our actual birth.  The argument that the baby is just a product of conception...it is true.  A baby is a product of conception, the only one...you conceive a baby!  It is not the baby's fault that you made a mistake, that you were irresponsible or that some sick bas...d went and did something to a woman that he should be strung up by his ba..s for!  That baby is innocent!  The woman who aborts a baby is also, often, wracked with guilt in their later years over what they did.  Why inflict an additional pain on some poor girl/woman who has been raped, etc.?  It is illegal to break an eagle's egg because it is living and the bald eagle is endangered, but it is legal to kill a human infant in the same state...what kind of sick logic is that?

There are plenty of great sites out there - many that are also connected with other pro-life information.  Here are a couple that you might check out.\n\nhttp://www.lovematters.com/\nhttp://www.proknowledge.org/\nhttp://www.lifeway.com/tlw/\nhttp://www.chastitycall.org/\n\nAlso, the following website is a pro-life one but has some good chastity links as well.\n\nhttp://www.prolife.com/\n\nI also have a few useful things on my own website that I've borrowed from other sources, so perhaps you'd be interested in those too.\n\nwww.geocities.com/sw10581\n\nGood luck and I hope you find what you're looking for!

It goes both ways. Extremists on both sides are wrapping the issue up with other issues. For example, people who are pro life are often also in favor of women being subservient, staying home, being married, making less money and stuff like that.  And pro choicers often refer to abortion as a reproductive right without considering the life of the child a right.  This is just another example of how extremist views are flawed.  The truth is in the middle.  Address the reasons for abortion, increase womens rights, access, equality, etc. and then only make abortion illegal without attaching any other bills to it.  It might work.

You can even take this one step further. Most of those same people who are for abortion are also for assisted suicide and euthenasia of terminally ill people, or people who are too old to care for themselves. Many people think that you have to have a certain quality of life in order to deserve to live. Unplanned babies, the sick, the old, and the dying fit into their ideas of those who don't or won't have a quality of life that's productive. Oh yeah, and that includes another group of people...those who are in a coma and are only hooked up to feeding tubes. They have their feeding tubes pulled out, leaving them to starve to death. Many live for several weeks before dying, with the family watching the whole proceedure, in the name of saving money, but claiming they are giving their "loved" one death with dignity. What's so dignified about starvation? They spout off grand speeches about how they can't bear to see them suffer so much. And that their quality of life doesn't exist anymore. Then, they'll turn around and picket in front of a jail, where a convicted killer is ready to get the needle, dying in peace, having just eaten the greatest meal they'd ever had. Go figure. Abortion is just as senseless, with hundreds of couples waiting for years to adopt a baby. I know a few gals who got abortions...not because they were raped...or because it was a health risk to her or the baby...but because it was inconvenient. They were in school. They didn't want their parents to find out (after all, we just know that their parents will KILL them if they find out, right?). It was just easy to think of their baby as a blob of material, with no identity. I've heard people say that the baby isn't really human until they're born. Really? What is that thing inside of a pregnant woman, a fish, a monkey, a figment of their imagination? Have they really seen the amazing pictures of a baby inside of the mom? Looks human to me. I still have the ultrasound of my daughter and she looks like a baby to me. I guess it all depends on what you believe in...whether you believe in defending the defenseless or supporting the evil. No one has ever explained sufficiently to me the up side of abortion. There is none. Everyone loses. What a huge waste of a human life. <*)))><

Don't worry about what answerman had to say.  I think you feeling so adamant about "pro-choice" is admirable and I respect that.   Have you checked with any close by "abortion clinics" if there are any?  If not, search the interent for "pro-choice" abortions.  I'm sure there is someone out theree that can help you.  Good luck to you and God Bless!  By the way, I'm definitely Pro-choice" cause I've been there and done that!  Hope you find what you need.

I am pro-life, always, but I can't force or make people do what I think is right.  Their choice.  I would say take every case on a personal level.

Morning after pill, second that motion.\nOh! Isn't this still considered an abortion by some extremist Christians?  Who cares about them?  \nThey are going to hell along with the rest of the extremist racist bigots.

I totally agree with you!  Pro-lifers seem to be more concerned about the unborn child than they are about the child (and its mother and/or father) after it is born!  "Okay...I stopped you from having an abortion.  See ya and good luck!  Just don't ask me for money or assistance."  That is one of my problems with the pro-life movement.  It's about wanting to control women.  It has nothing to do with caring about the welfare of the unborn child.  If it did, they would be fighting more for the rights of born children and thier mothers and/or fathers.  Better school, better childcare, etc.\n\nI'm sure if more programs existed to help financially strapped mothers and mothers-to-be, there might be a few less abortions.  I more honestly feel that if birth-control and/or morning after pills were made more readily and easily (ie: over the counter) available to women, there wouldn't be the need for abortions.  An unplanned pregnancy is an unplanned pregnancy, regardless of the money you have in the bank.  Of course, there are those who use abortion as a form of birth-control and, as far as I'm concerned, those women shouldn't breed anyway, but for most women, it's a tough decsion to have to make.  She should be allowed to make that choice on her own, regardless of her situation.  The government and religous groups need to butt out.

No but I think that if you are pro-life...then you should be required to adopt a baby that currently has no home or family....\n\nthe age...race...disablity...none of that would be your choice either.\n\nIf you are pro-life----then stand behind it.

I think you will find that most pro-abortion advocates are actually not in favor of late-term abortions.  Perhaps they should play the, "don't lump us in with your misconceptions" card on you.

I think you're on the right track here in pointing out the hypocrisy of the "personal freedom" argument that baby killers use. How is killing an unborn child in support of the CHILD'S freedom? They always come back with "but it's not a child, it's a clump of cells". That's all they have, but I think they do know better in their hearts. They're just in denial, which is really sad.\n\nBTW, it is also not hypocrisy to be anti-abortion but pro-death penalty. Those folks who believe this are making the distinction between the taking of innocent life vs. taking the life of a person guilty of the heinous crime of murder. However, I personally do not support the death penalty either in ANY case. All people were put on earth for a reason and it should be left up to God to work his magic in their lives and help them come to see why their actions were wrong and change their hearts. They should be put in jail for life simply to protect the public from them in case they never change.\n\nEuthanasia is wrong as well. Those who are not inside a person's head to know for sure what they are thinking and what their wishes are should not make a decision to actively or passively take a person's life. Who are they to make the judgment that this person's life is no longer worth living?\n\nAnyway, I like that you are standing up for what you believe in. It's important that we all do that, no matter how persecuted we are by those who would silence us.

Good for N. Dakota! I can only hope that the rest of this nation comes to it"s senses soon also.Life begins when God breaths the soul into the child. I beleive that is at the moment of conception. To abort a baby while it's in it's mothers womb is nothing short of murder. When that dredful day of roe v wade came, and the decision was made, we did not have the technology we do now. We now can see in detail how alive this baby is.I know this is a hot topic, and both sides feel very strongly about their positions. I however cannot ignore the evidance that we can so clearly see, and say that this is a lifeless blob growing inside it's mother. No, it's a child alive and growing. God forgive us for all the murders we have done. Because it's legal dos not make it right. When it was illegal it was done and it was wrong, and now that it is legal it is still WRONG!

I'm prolife and I do not support the death penalty.  As you said, it's a form of murder.  No matter what someone has done, death should not be wished/forced upon them--it's very sad how meaningless LIFE (the greatest gift ever) has become.
