Are You Pro-life Or Anti-choice?

Pro-life= you are against abortion
personally but would not make it illegal
for anyone else to have one.
Anti-choice= you want abortion to be
illegal.
Which one are you?

Pro-life for myself, abortion is not
something i would want to do, as for
others them getting an abortion doesn't
effect me so why should i care? The only
opinion i have on the matter is lowering
the amount of weeks because my sister
neighbour's neice was born at 21weeks and
survived so it makes me wonder if 24 weeks
is a little too advanced

My personal cut-off date is when more than
50% of babies born survive, and 21 weeks
is below that.

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.
Most of those abortions are done for
reasons like fetal deformity or maternal
health. 90% of abortions are done before
the end of the first trimester (week 12).

I like the not my body; not my choice
attitude. I hope you do realize that a
fetus surviving birth at 21 weeks in rare
and not the norm; or we could simply
remove all fetii from their mother's wombs
at 21 weeks and negate the entire
arguement.

Neither... I've had an abortion and I'd do
it again under the same circumstances.

As would we all; but life is not perfect.
Even with perfect birth control, women
would still be raped, fetuses would still
become deformed and mothers could still be
endangered.

I think I am going to clarify one of my
stances on abortion in the case of a rape
victim; I don't mean just a woman raped by
an unknown assailant..I mean the girl
raped by her male relatives; the woman
raped in the marital bed; the woman raped
by a male date (think date rape drug here)
or so stoned/ drunk she is unconcious and
he has sex with her without her
permission.
All of those are rape so ya NA.. I would
like to see an end to abortion necessiated
as well but I wnt to see an end of the
circumstances that lead to unplanned
pregnancies as well; particularly rape.

That's an entirely different topic. What
you've said here, in effect, is, (as
Jincks has pointed out) that you think it
is sad the 90% of abortions are done in
the earliest trimester. The only possible
meaning of that sentence is that you'd be
happy if they were done later.

I'm pro-life. Abortion disturbs me, but I
find that taking away someone's right to
choose for themselves is a huge moral
blunder.
I think Jincks said it: instead of putting
energy into simply disallowing abortion,
we should put our energy into ending and
preventing the causes of many unwanted
pregnancies: rape, lack of education etc.
etc AND into other alternatives to
abortion to make them easier and more
accessible to women. But never, ever take
away any of the full array of choices.

I am pro choice, I choose life. pro human
rights
Abortion is a violation of a human beings
right to life but making abortion Ilegal
may cause considerations regarding the
right to control your own body, so I do
not wish to make having an abortion
ilegal, I seek to make preforming an
abortion ilegal, to hold the doctors
responsible, it is not their body and
there actions violate the right to life of
the child, a woman has an inherant right
to seek an abortion but a doctor has no
inherant rights to preform an abortion.

that's a cop out.
A woman has the right to seek one, but a
doctor doesn't have a right to perform
one?
So what? A woman can perform an abortion
on herself with a coat hanger and it's all
daisies and daffodils, but if a doctor
does it, it's a huge moral issue?
