Yes, I do.

It means someone who advocates for laws against elective abortion, and who opposes embryonic stem cell research.


And what about euthanasia/the death penalty/suicide/war/people needlessly starving in third world countries do theses not feature in your pro life oppinion?

Thank you for your response. I hope that you'd throw in something about supporting the position of women in society so that there need not be abortions if the woman does not want one.

Your disingenuity has been noted even though you did not respond to it.

I think that anyone who has had the displeasure of viewing the insanity that is PLA will have great difficulty finding credibility in anything said by members of the terrorist support group. Even (rational) prolifers don't want to be affiliated with that rabid mob.

I have opinions on lots of things, but I don't expect those opinions to be counted as "qualifiers" for the label prolife.

The dictionary definition represents what the majority of our society thinks the term prolife means, it does not represent what any individual thinks.

I haven't asked anyone to take my word on anything. If you find my arguments lacking, please state your reasons, rather than making attacks on my character, okay?

unfortunately yes. He posted his intention to invade every abortion debate board "out there" to "educate" all of us and bring us to see the light of the pro-life side.
I am a little disappointed he hasn't shown up yet on GN though,..

I have opinions on lots of other things, but they are not qualifying or disqualifying for the label "prolife". That term has a fairly narrow definition, relating almost exclusively to the legality of elective abortion.

My goodness, I didn't expect to be called a terrorist, here on this "civil" debate board.

I do wish you would quote me accurately, instead of just making it up as your go. That's so childish.

YOu are so right yoda.. I really should post your exact words:

Originally posted by: dinate
What we all really need to do is post all the PRO-CHOICE forums on here, and then go over and give them a piece of our mind.

I advise moderation on that project. I've been to countless proabort forums, and I can tell you that it's almost unheard of for anyone who is posting as a proabort advocate to admit a change of mind. More often, you will be abused, called all sorts of names, and probably even banned for having the nerve to say babies ought not be killed electively.

My advice is to try them one at a time, because being attacked viciously by a dozen rabid baby killers at one time can be disheartening. I advise the old "shake the dust off your feet" option when that happens.

That's fascinating.... you say what you think a term means, and then you say that isn't a definition.... and you won't use a dictionary...

Fascinating.....

I'm afraid the dictionary won't say what "my ilk" is.

But do you have a low opinion of dictionaries, like most of your "ilk"?
