Pro-lifers believe there are two victims in an abortion: the unborn child and the woman who felt that that was her best option.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am pro-choice, but I don't consider that inconsistent at all with pro-life - there's no way that having an abortion, ever, is an easy decision, and it more often errs on the side of absolutely wrenching, not to mention physically debilitating.
Pro-lifers have long been castigated for bringing private values into the public square. But actually it is the pro-abortion position that is based on merely personal views and values.
You can't reconcile being pro-life on abortion and pro-death on the death penalty.
I am pro-life, I believe in exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. That's my position, take it or leave it.
No one is pro-abortion.
Well, I think that it's clear that the Republican Party is a pro-life party. And we do value life. And we do believe that the unborn have a right to life.
I'm against abortion. On the other hand, I believe in a woman's choice.
Abortion is part of being a mother and of caring for children, because part of caring for children is knowing when it's not a good idea to bring them into the world.
When we choose to have an abortion, we must do so understanding the full ramifications of what we are doing. Anything less feels to me to be hypocritical, a selfish abnegation of reality and responsibility.
I should have known better. Pro-life arguments are now based on scientific evidence and the pro-choice arguments are not. That is a cultural, historical fact.
