If a man should become pregnant, then absolutely yes, they should be able to have an abortion should they choose to do so.

No, women are not allowed to murder and there is NO law that says they can.

This is where the hypocrisy hits. IF they are anti-choice they can NOT be for ANY form of abortion....

Most likely it's because there is some confusion about what it means to be pro-life. Some people apparently think if you are personally against abortion for yourself, you are pro-life, even if you support other people having the choice. This is of course ridiculous.

I've been saying this for some time. In fact I posted a discussion on it on another (Christian) discussion group.

Are you really pro-life?

Now, I'm not surprised why some pro-lifers would choose to have an abortion if their life was in danger, but I too am confused why these particular "pro-lifers" would choose to have an abortion instead of give the child up for adoption.

Having said all of this, aren't you glad I included the options in the poll? Didn't this (admittedly, not as thorough as it could be) poll give SOME enlightenment? The depth of ignorance is palpable. After examining the results of this poll, you are now aware that some people really aren't pro-life even though they say they are. Maybe this is new to you.

if you are indeed ok with a woman... her life was in danger and you supported her choice to abort....then guess what, you are pro choice

I have no feeling one way or the other about your poll. Especially since you refused to read my post where I said it proved nothing.


""""Didn't this (admittedly, not as thorough as it could be) poll give SOME enlightenment?""""





No, I've known and discussed the hypocrisy of the anti-choicers since before you were born...




"""" The depth of ignorance is palpable. After examining the results of this poll, you are now aware"""



Do NOT speak for others.

Guess what? The world didn't start when you were born.

You are paying too much attention to the extremes. The life of the mother/rape/incest/life of the child scenarios make up a very very small portion of abortion cases. It's no surprise that pro-lifers support these cases, especially when everyone hears even pro-life people left and right say "of course in the case of rape/incest/life of the mother, I support abortion." You jump on the bandwagon. It's self-perpetuating and very few people have heard ANY ANY ANY argument against abortions in the extreme cases. There is too little talk going on about why abortions in the extreme cases are NOT the best solution. It's really not a surprise at all that even pro-life people support abortions for the extreme cases. They were brainwashed.

What I personally find interesting is the majority of people are anti-abortion.

I guess sometimes a majority can "accidentally" support life!

LOL. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! ROTFL.

Except in this case you are describing the hypocrisy of of anti-lifers! These people aren't pro-life. They are pro-choice. They are just confused about the term.

THERE is your enlightenment.

And BTW, cheese... you are so angry. I posted a nice pleasant reply in support of your post and you have to attack me. You are very mature.

There are really only a couple ways to look at this.

You may or may not have an abortion and don't presume to make the choice for anyone else.
You personally would not have an abortion and don't presume to make the choice for anyone else.
You personally would not have an abortion AND presume you know all you need to know to make the choice for everyone else.

I am not angry (that's YOUR projection) and I never attacked you....false accusations prove you know you're wrong and/or have no point whatsoever.......
