Being pro-choice isn't being anti-life. It's just giving women the choice to abort rather than letting the government decide what they do with their body. I'm sure most women that have had an abortion, their decision wasn't an easy one to make by any means.
In an ideal world, people get pregnant because they're well and ready to have kids and are prepared to take on that responsibility physically and financially. However, that's just not always the case.
There are other options. You can give the baby up for adoption. Is foster care great? probably not. Sometimes it may be awful. Personally I know that Id rather have the chance to live though than have somebody decide, with no input from me, that they are going to kill me and not even give me a chance at life.
Its not the woman's body Im worried about, its the child's body that concerns me. And yes, the life of a defenseless child that cannot say anything in his favor matters more to me than the comfort of somebody who brought this on themselves in the first place.
The question of rape gets much more dicey and to be honest even i would be in favor of letting a rape victim have an abortion though it does sound almost hypocritical. Again, I acnkowledge this is all a complicated issue. But to me, its the fact that a woman knowingly had sex, despite its risks, that makes me think I do not sympathize with them to the extent that I think a child should be killed because of them being stupid.
That's fine. I just think on the topic of abortion, it's not my decision to make or not make, it's up to the mother. But if we're talking about pro-choice and pro-life, I would rather much give women the choice to make it, and it ideally it wouldn't be solely her decision and would include the father's as well. This doesn't mean that all pro-choice women will have an abortion. Of course there should be a limit to how far along the mother before it's not allowed to do an abortion, but I think that's the biggest part of the debate I guess. I'm not a doctor so I don't know.
We're getting off topic to be honest.
You and I might believe different things because of our differing views on whats a baby and what's a blob of cells. Thats fine.
But my main thought to pro-choice people is dont demonize pro-life people and act like the choice of when life begins is simple.
That is my main point.
If you are against killing newborn babies (and correct me if you are not) then I think the question that is really at play here is when does a life begin. And if you find that an easy question I guess you must be a very shallow-minded person ---
