Since Pro-lifers are in favor of life, would it be better that Pro-Choicers be called Pro-Death?

They used to be called pro-abortion, some how that offended them, so it was changed to pro-choice for PC reasons. We wouldn't want to offend anybody.

pro-life with exception for rape and incest which accounts for almost nil. By now after all these years of sex education, and condom handouts you would think they would know how to avoid pregnancy! Instead they use it as a form of birthcontrol.

I am pro choice.  I believe that every women has the right to what happens to their own body.  If that right is taken away what man should approve an abortion or even the right to carry the pregnancy to term.  What about in a case of rape, should the rapist decide what happens to the pregnancy?  He was just the sperm donor.\n\nMost men cannot make "rational" decision when asked so give them a life or death answer...  Sorry, I wouldn't, and didn't.  \n\nI also believe that every women has the right to say what they want, if they are pro choice or even pro life.  That is the American way.

Neither party has an "official" stance on abortion, but Democrats are typically more likely to be pro-choice, and Republicans are more likely to be pro-life.\n\nEDIT: \nBoth parties claim to support education, but they go about delivering that support in different ways.

The answer here is very easy. When you talk about the legalisation of abortion in a country, you are not talking about whether or not abortion (or life) is a good thing or a bad thing. That is a question of ethics and/or religious belief. It is not a question of law.\n\nWhether or not to have an abortion is a choice. People who believe that abortion should be legal believe that women should have that choice. People who believe it should be a crime thus want to take away that element of choice. By defiition then, they are anti-choice.\n\nI have heard a lot of 'pro-life' people call the opposition 'anti-life'. They are specifically trying to bring the legal question back into the religious agenda, and they are overgeneralising.\n\nIt is possible to be pro-life, ethically, and pro-choice, legally.

America has had a debate over both issues for many years now.Sentencing persons to death for their crimes has been around for centuries.So has the practice of abortion dating back 5000 years or more.The whole debate is based on ones own morale beliefs.There lies the debate the struggle between the beliefs of individuals.It is a very hard decision to enforce the moral beliefs of one on another individual. If society as a whole can come to a consensus that no form of death of human life is acceptable or a that terminating a life is acceptable in abortion or in capital punishment.I wont insert my beliefs here but I do agree that there is a contradiction between the two.One human life needs to be viewed equally to another.

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.

No.\n\nIn fact the Catholic Church is not just against abortion, it is pro-life in the widest sense. This is often called a "Consistent Ethic of Life."\n\nThis pro-life stance stresses the highest regard for dignity of human life including that of:\n- All people in objecting to unjust war and nuclear arms.\n- The unborn in objecting to to abortion, in fitro fertilization, frozen embryos, embryonic stem cell research, and cloning\n- The elderly, sick and dying in objecting to assisted suicide and euthanazia\n- Prisoners in objecting to the death penalty\n- The poor and minorities in supporting social justice issues.\n\nWith love in Christ.

I think there is a lot of political expediency when it comes to abortion from both the "Pro-life" and "Pro-choice" camps.\n\nYou already mentioned the inconsistencies of the Pro-life politicians, but isn't it equally crap that you get Pro-choice politicians who say that they are personally opposed to abortion, but think it should remain "safe, legal, and rare" ? If someone believes it's wrong to get an abortion, the only thing that could make it wrong, is that it is taking a life. And if it is takng a life, then shouldn't it be outlawed ?\n\nSo I think there are many inconsistencies one could find in everyone's arguments.\n\nI myself am opposed to abortion, but am pragmatic. Less is better than more, but none would be optimum. I doubt the American public would ever support a ban on all abortions. The rape, incest, endangered mother's life, deformed baby argument as being the only exceptions I can live with because the vast majority of abortions are simply "late" birth control.

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.

Quiet Please, Positive Spin Masters At Work:\n\nProChoice - not ProAbortion.\n\nTerminate - not kill.\n\nFetus - not a baby.\n\nPartial Birth - still, apparently, not a baby.\n\nIf we let it, liberalism will be the wrecking ball that destroys any morality and tradition this great country has left. \n\nJust my opinion. Based on simply paying attention and watching the country over the past 60 years.

Pro choicers have been looking for a moral positive for abortion for years. This issue more about abortion than stem cell research.

NO! I argee with you on everything but the Pro-life. What if you get raped, can't take care of a baby and can't get a abortion? That would all be b/c of you. Change that and I'll vote yes.

like everyone else is saying, they're hypocrites. if you're gonna be pro-life, you should be anti-dealth penalty and against the war in iraq if only for the basic belief that pro-lifers have of all life being sacred. ther eis a difference between abortions and lethal injection, but liek one lady said to me once, "what about the babies in iraq that are being killed"? don't they matter? or is it just american babies that matter?

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.

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.

I am against abortion, except to save the mother's life.  I am in favor of the death penalty in the most extreme cases.
