No it doesn't involve killing anyone. Sorry to have to remind you that the general consensus and the law is not on your side. Stop trying to tell people when with whom and how to have sexual intercourse. No one cares how you perceive a common bodily function. If you don't like it then don't do it. Problem solved.

You know full well that I am not referring to pregnancies that are in no way the fault of the potential mother.

Personally I have no strong opinion on the subject. But I do want to see every pro-lifer vote Republican.
Many Republicans are pro-choice,

I would suspect it is more of an artifact of the two-party system, or deeper causes that I do not have the time to get into in this post. There are lots of people like me who opposed the war in Iraq yet were and are pro-life. Painting an entire group with such a broad stroke is no better or more intelligent than saying that the French are a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkeys or that the Occupy crowd consists of unemployed communist hippies.
I'm anti-death.

Anti-abortion, Anti-death penalty, anti-war...

What does that make me?

Why? Abortion should not be a partisan issue - it is a moral one.

Yes, cancer. Cancer is a clump of cells, JUST like a fetus. Both live off of you, and BOTH can kill you. I dont operate via stupid emotions. In this case, science and observation rule the day.

I also dont get all warm and fuzzy when I see a kid. i either ignore it or want to shut it up. Otherwise Im indifferent as long as they leave me alone.
THIS thing is what babies remind me of, actually. Nothing 'cute' about it.

No one knows but I am glad you do know they exist.

sorry, its not in my mind. Its based on scientific fact and the law. A fetus is not a human; and no amount of rhetoric on your part will CHANGE this fact.

Umm - no you are not. You support killing innocent life - period.
No, I support the rights of women to do with their body as they see fit. I am against murder. Abortion is not murder, no matter how much you want to lie about that.

Who decides who's 'fault' a given pregnancy is? Are we going to need to establish fault committees to place blame? We as a nation are already too broke to care for the people who are already alive, where are we going to find the resources to add another million+ people each year?

I'd love to read a pro lifer's take on this little issue.
