Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of what pro-life is.”" - source Pro-birth, pro-life or pro-choice: A very simple question : TwoXChromosomes


A reflection of the arguments on here. How is it that people who note they are "pro-life" that the life they are for ends with birth? Can you oppose abortion and morally feel justified at opposing education, feeding, and housing this life you are for?

Seems often we have people pro-birth on here, but aren't really pro-life.

Just another crap leftist argument where they try to dictate the terms of the discussion, foment their own self-serving definitions, demand the opposition obey their direction, and insist that if you believe one thing you are required to do something else. Nothing is more arrogant and more ignorant that a leftist hell bent on pushing his ideology. You people are truly pathetic if you think you can get away with this kind of sophomoric nonsense. Only the brain dead buy your silliness.

Pro-choice Texan. It is not a popular way to feel in the South but I don't care. More of us are pro-choice than people think but we do not talk about it or admit it in regular conversations here.

I don't think I have ever seen a thread with so much rationalization, lies, and twisted thinking. So as an adult person, would you rather die or live in poverty?

I don't have a say in the reproductive choices of women. Nor should anyone else.

This is surreal. We were talking about the life of THE BABY. The B-A-B-Y. Not the mother.

If the baby is to be born of an irresponsible mother, who had sex recklessly, whatever (I'll give you that), why is the baby supposed to pay for a mother's deficiencies?
Why is the baby supposed to pay with a life where all odds will be against him, where nobody will care about his food, education, chances in life etc. - INCLUDING THE MOTHER, and least of all the likes of you?

So say it with me again: "I am demanding that the THE BABY lay in the bed the mother made!".

Then look in the mirror and say "Can I get anymore disgusting than this"?...and you will probably discover a whole new level of disgusting-ness that you can lower yourself to.

The baby can't take "individual responsibility" for what an allegedly bad mother did!
And he didn't do one single darn thing wrong to be brought into this world with those kind of sh*tty odds against him.

Classy.
Who tried to convince you is not killing a living organism?

As a general guideline, you should probably be more concerned with a life shattered, than a "living organism" killed.

You are obviously a man So are you saying that men can have unprotected sex whenever they want and if they get a woman pregnant then it's not their fault. Of course it's always the women's fault, right.

So people who kill an unborn child are loving parents? You really are phony funny.

Banning abortion is going to lead more problems.
