Are you pro-choice or pro-life, and why?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Pro-choice.
Pro-lifers think two dimensionally. They are incapable of imagining what a woman goes through when deciding whether to abort or not. They have no respect for women. They don't even care about life. They only get worked up over the "unborn". But once a child is born, it and the mother are on their own, and she gets condemned for being a bad mother.
They don't give a rotten fig about 33,000 Palestinians (70% of whom are innocent women and children) being randomly slaughtered when Israel considers every Palestinian to be a "terrorist".

Pro-lifers even oppose morning after pills and chemical abortions that can be used up to 8 weeks after the woman's last period to flush out a small glob of unconscious tissue. Many even oppose contraception.

I believe in bodily autonomy, unlike pro-lifers and people who support mandatory vaccines. I think contraception and abortion should be inexpensive and readily accessible.

I will say that there should be restrictions on aborting fetuses that are too far along. The sooner the better. Not beyond the first three months, max, unless there is a medical reason. With the availability of pregnancy tests, if a woman can't figure out that she is pregnant and make a decision about keeping it, there is no excuse to take more than three months.

And there should be serious repercussions for women who use serial abortion as a form of birth control.

I guess I'm pro-responsibility. I'm not really strongly opinionated on laws, realize there could be perverse incentives to outlawing abortion, but I do think if two people engage in heterosexual intercourse without the most reliable methods of birth control, they should factor in the risk of a child and not use abortion as a backup form of birth control.

So I'm mostly just against people having sex without any prospect of commitment to each other. I'm very against hook-up culture.

Pro-choice, as much as I can understand and sympathize with the pro-life movement about abortion and how they see it as murder, it’s ultimately going to harm more people to ban it legally than it is to make it a choice. When abortions are banned, more women become infertile trying to abort through unsafe, unclean back alley abortions, forced pregnancy and parenthood makes for terrible kids that turn into terrible adults, and horribly traumatic miscarriages become reasons for accusation and investigation, not to mention unviable pregnancies being denied treatment that could kill the mother. Frankly, I think the  last  thing the government should have a say over is medical procedures.

BCRanger10 · Answer

I am pro-life.

I am primarily because as a practicing Catholic, I am faithful to what the Church teaches, which is that abortion is an intrinsic and gravely moral evil.

If you look at what an abortion is and what it does - the artificial, direct, and intentional ending of a pregnancy - then the only reasonable conclusion is that the object of the abortion, the fetus, is a living being, that it is a human life. Then there are the metaphysical, ethical, and moral questions about when life begins (leaving aside those of fetal heartbeats and pain, separate and unique sets of DNA, and others). If life does not begin at conception, when does it begin, why then and why not before or after, who decides so, on what authority... the list could go on.

We who are pro-life are often accused of ignoring or being otherwise unconcerned about the woman or thinking she's completely irrelevant. The many pregnancy help centers out there, one of which I volunteered at for a time some years ago, would beg to differ, but whatever. The point is that the accusation is not true at all. I, for my part, am also not unsympathetic to these questions; my great-grandmother - we called her "Nona" - had my grandfather when she was 16 and by an abusive, alcoholic, and cheating pile of human trash. I get it. The woman is not irrelevant to the picture, but neither is the child.

I believe the fetus is not human because it is not fully developed but it still has value. Just like a cat has value but is not as valuable as a human being. I also think something as difficult as child birth should be optional because it's not an easy or painless process. Not to mention somebody not mentally or morally fit for mother hood would damage the child in horrendous ways if they are given authority over a child they do not want. I've heard of children that had blood soaked backs every day because their mothers were angry they had kids and took it out by beating their offspring. The bible says some social relationships are worse than being dead.

HelpfulWoman · Answer

pro choice IS pro-life. it enables people to make better educated choices. pro "life" weirdly only focuses on the cells/embryo of the potential child rather than the actual adult life involved... or the lives of kids outside the wombs. they can die however, especially in the us for example. They more concerned keeping guns and hating abortions rather than stopping school shootings... weird.

NaultD · Answer

You want the least amount of abortions possible? Fund sex education and make more birth control available, including abortions.

Even late-stage abortions, or what they should be called, not compatible with life abortions. Like holes in the brain so painful that the potential newborn will never experience falling asleep. Eyes never opened. screaming, make it stop. That is as mild as not compatible with life abortions get. Let the mother give mercy to an impossible life.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I’m not really invested in either as an absolute. I think anyone who is is delusional.
My interest in parenting rights and responsibilities is based on equality under the law. Despite popular rhetoric, the laws are wildly in favor of women and mothers over men and fathers. That needs to end.

dustybiker2 · Answer

Pro choice. Every woman deserves the right for medical treatment during an emergency. I'm just not okay with the procedure being used as repetitive birth control. In the end it's between doctor and patient in a rational world.

Anonymous · Answer

I support Women's rights if you are about to have a Child being born to incest with deformities that has a high chance of dying then a woman needs to consider having this Child. Also, take a look how Mitt Romney believes, that is how I believe exactly like him. I got a strong Conservative side and very weak Liberal side. I don't fall on one party.

4ngelic · Answer

pro choice for the first 3-4 months. after that pro-life unless there's something wrong with the baby or it's necessary for the mom's survival to have an abortion

NamerOfStars · Answer

Both. I'm pro-life because I'm alive, and pro-choice because I support freedom.

zagor · Answer

I don't believe it is the government's job to tell a woman what to do with her body. The people who claim to be looking out for unborn babies are mostly looking to control other people.
