are you pro-life or pro-choice?

Neither, I'm in the middle on this issue.  It's a shame most people don't know there's a middle ground.\n\nYou said something original.\n\nOK, why?: To say a single cell should be granted the rights of a human person is probably one of the most absurd things I've ever heard.  On the other hand, to say it's OK to kill a 7 month old fetus that is little different from a new-born is just as absurd.\n\nMiddle ground can be achieved when we realize what it means to be human... to think (at least to the point that you might care if you were aborted or not). That is why I believe we should limit abortion to 22 weeks - the time of the development of the neo-cortex.

I think should be a CHOICE.  I am not for using abortion as birth control, but if there are other factors involved I think it should be up to the woman.

prolife all the way. just because a baby isnt born yet, it is a LIVING being and God has a plan for everyone.

Independent. I agree with a lot of the Republican issues such as pro-life but I also believe in several of the Democratic issues such as supporting our schools.

You give a good argument for pro choice, and to me, it's a refreshing one.  I am in agreement with a woman's right to choose but become less committed when the babe becomes a viable age.  I have worked in neo-natal units and clearly see that they are more than a "fetus" at 24 weeks (or less) of gestation. I would like to trust the woman to make a decision that is best for her own well-being, but with consideration of the unborn potential person she has created.  Unfortunately, not all women are so unselfish and generous, and even go so far as to use abortion as a frequent form of birth control, which disgusts me.  I have also had the experience of these same "mothers" not being fit to take care of themselves, let alone a baby, and one with the multiple health concerns that many premature babies must deal with throughout their lives.  This too, consumes the same, or more, of the natural resources you speak of and is also commonly a drain on society's welfare system.  \n\nSo, the debate continues.  Yours is a fresh perspective.  Thank you.

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?

Good question.  They say they're pro life but then again they're pro death.... seems two faced to me...

I am not anti-choice but, I really don't like abortion either. The decision should be the women's and whoever she slept with (If he is around) - not the government, churches, president or some televangelist scam artist. There is a reason a fetus is not called a baby; Babies are born. A fetus is a potential life and no more  alive than a tumor. We don't give the death penalty to doctors for removing tumors. (Thank god)\n\nMy answer is: NO

why do you have abortion as your only topic of "choice" today?  \n\nlooking back at your question history, i'd say that you have some issues.  \n\nseek help.

I would think that Mitt Romney is Pro-life.  Or maybe he is like me, Pro-life, and Pro Choice.  Let me explain my Pro-choice, though,.  I believe that every woman in Ameica has choices, alot of choices, Depo- Nuva Ring, The patch, ortho-trycyclien, other pills, Norplant, etcc.  There is also the choice to have your tubes tied. If none of the above work, since when does the woman have to keep the baby, she could always give it up for adoption.   And then there is the Most Effective Choice of all- ABSTINENCE.  You don't want a baby, Don't have sex.  Murder should never be considered a viable choice, since there are many other choices available to women.

One of the most widely debated topics in this country and you can't think of anything to debate about?\n\nIf you're pro choice, why?  That's what the paper is about.  What do you say to others that oppose your point of view?  Is your view point fixed?  Could you be swayed to another perspective?\n\nWhat objections to your point of view are most troubling for you?  \n\nIf all else fails...triple space.

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.

If you believe that life begins at conception, then it would be murder. If on the other had you think that at conception all that is there is a blob of cells, then that is not murder.\n\nAs for me, if I were ever impregnated, I would have a life growing at the moment of conception. If anyone were to kill it, it would be murder. I wouldn't have an abortion because to me, it is murder\n\nEach woman has to decide for HERSELF what it is for her. Since some people do see nothing but a blob of cells, well for that woman, she doesn't see anything wrong with abortion. I think that we should keep out of woman's pants and reproduction issues and let the individual decide for herself when it comes to this issue. This should never have been an issue for public policy.

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.

First of all, i don't think anyone is pro-abortion...they are prochoice, as in its for you to say one way or the other.  \nMe personally, i believe it is murder, but there are such things as justifiable homicide.  I agree with you that most of the time women have abortions for less than good reasons....but who decides whats justifiable?  you? me? the govt?  It has to be each woman that decides for herself; she is the one that has to live with the decision and face whatever God she believes in.  What may seem like an inconvenience to you, could be lifealtering for her.  the best that can be done, is for the gov't to make sure the procedure is available and safe...after that the rest is up to the woman.\nbut it is murder, like killing in war is murder, yet many people don't think soldiers are going to hell for killing in war.  \nnote that abortions have been going on since the beginning of time, whether legal or not.  most of the time when there is not a doctor available to perform the procedure, both the fetus and the woman die.  Now if its senseless to lose the fetus, wouldn't it be doubly so to lose both?  just because its illegal, doesn't mean its not going to happen.  \nwhile i do believe that its a woman's choice, i also believe that its murder, and i also believe that if i were in those shoes, i wouldn't be able to make the choice to have an abortion without seriously extenuating circumstances, like my death, a brutal rape (which shouldn't result in pregnancy very often anymore due to the morning after pill) or some very serious disease the child has.

You answered your own question, pro-choice sounds so good and nice. Who doesn't like choices? Pro-life has a good ring to it as well.

I'm pro choice and freedom. Nobody has the right to force you to follow their beliefs. If you decide abortion is right for you, that is your choice to make and none of my business.\n\nI don't take the anti abortion crowd seriously because I have not seen one of them go out of their way to help some poor young mother or to care for the many starving and mistreated babies born to mothers incapable of caring for them.
