What I like or don't like has nothing to do with this thread. Just like who has your support is completely irrelevant to any of the millions of women who've had abortions. The fact that you think your support is of any value to anyone in this capacity is yet another sign of delusions of grandeur.

really, this is the how you're going to argue? Asking for definitions of words that you should already know?

So you are saying MOST people agree with you. The subject of this thread is most people are now pro-life in this poll. I am going by the poll.

So you started out as a fetus. Imagine that horrible fact.

Call me a skeptic, but I doubt your views are held by majority of Americans.

No - abortion is only a valid choice in the case of rape or the potential death of the mother. It has no business being promoted as a "responsible" reproductive option for people who want to have sex but not care for a baby - knowing full well that their actions may produce one. If you don't want a baby - you can be intimate during a period of the month when a woman is not fertile(billions of people have enjoyed a healthy sex life and not become pregnant by doing this) or use BC. You should not have the option to throw a life away just because it is inconvenient to you. That is the ultimate in selfishness.

Where did I ever advocate for "making people" practice abstinance? Here, I will save you the work - NEVER!. Quit making stuff up.

I am not the one who keeps making posts on behalf of most people. You are -and it's always tied to whatever your opinion is. Your "most people" comments were not even about the poll.

This is like shooting fish in a barrel. I'm sorry, but I refuse to have a battle of wits with someone who is clearly unarmed. Please refrain from quoting me so I don't have to keep handing you your azz.

That's the valid thing for YOU but others have different ideas. Again,you are looking at two sonograms (one from a rape, one from a night of fun sex). You don't know which is which but one fetus is ok to abort. Why? This is the point where it stops being about prolife and starts being about someone not living up to your expectations. And we aren't going to go there legally, we can't.
