Prolife Christians: How long will you play into the GOP's hands? Under President Bush, who claimed to be prolife, you had a Republican President, a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and a Republican Supreme Court. Your votes gave the prolife party total control, and guess what? Abortion is still legal. They had eight years to do whatever they wanted, including bombing Iraqi children and pregnant women, but abortion is still legal. But all they have to do is say "prolife" and "family values" and you people vote for them like Pavlov's dogs. When will you learn the GOP is simply USING you???
A question for pro-life Christians-do you care enough to campaign for prolife candidates? It's less than two weeks to the election. Pastors who have encouraged parishoners to vote for pro-life candidates and actively campaign for them are in risk of losing their tax-exempt status. Do you care enough about the pro-life cause to look up the local campaign offices for pro-life candidate, call them up and volunteer your services? Do you care enough to make the time even if you are busy? Time is of the essence. I challenge you to care enough to help. I challenge you to care enough to enlist your family members, relatives, friends and church members of like beliefs to help.
Could we simplify the abortion debate by agreeing to prolife/antilife and prochoice/antichoice? Depending on the side you are on. It would make the word salad so much easier to digest. We could simplify it further by frontal lobe/antifrontal lobe to separate those that dont care about this from those that do. I think the numbers would likely surprise many people. the prolife calls the opposition antilife and prochoice calls the opposition antichoice. Twilight is the first for profrontal lobe!!
Do you think prolife has misnamed itself? Life usually starts at birth and ends at death, except in China. Republicans seem to have taken the word life and given it solely to the unborn, so that they don't have to have policies that benefit the born.
How is killing rapists prolife? How is killing rapists prolife? Killing murders may deter murder and therefore be prolife, by what about rapists? Can anyone honestly believe these right-wing idiots who preach prolife and want to kill people in ways they know won't save lives? Not to mention the fact that it will simply give rapists a reason to kill their victim, being that he faces no further consequence for eliminating his witness.
How can you call youself prolife when you support another's right to kill their baby? You claim you would never have an abortion yourself, and yet you support another's right to choose. People who adopt this stance have no soul. They have no care for the life of a child that's not there's. What about the baby's right to choose? Has anyone considered that? If she's not ready for a child, then she can give it up for adoption. Don't take the easy way out at the expense of another's. A women does have a right to choose...before she gets pregnant. It's the 21st century! We have effective contraceptives. I I kinda worded this question badly. Most pro choice people claim they personally are prolife for themselves, but they don't want to push their morals on somebody else. That's a justification they use so they can sleep at night. But the blood of 45 million babies is on their hands when they vote for so-called "choice." I do understand why a young woman who was raped or was the victim of incest would want an abortion. But most people don't realize that those account for less than 2% of the 45 million abortions in this country. coragryph claims that if someone doesn't "believe" that life begins at contraception than it's okay for them to kill the baby. Using this thought process, if Hitler didn't "believe" that killing Jews was morally wrong, than we shouldn't force our concept of morality on him. It sounds absurd doesn't it? So does the argument that it's wrong to "force" our belief about abortion on others.
Republican tax breaks and prolife,good or bad? I personally like the republican idea to give tax break to big corporations to create more jobs and better economy for every one and the Idea of being pro-life, but what if despite all theses tax breaks, big corporations take their businesses oversees and instead of abortion in home , see many of our soldiers and other people on this earth being killed .
Can it be ethically consistant to be "prolife" and Oppose the death penalty? A mayor candidate says he thinks abortion is murder, ie he is "prolife" for abortion. This candidate also Opposes the death penalty, based on his own ethics, not due to problems in the court, DNA sampling or whatever. Regardless of your personal opinion on either, do these positions reconcile consistantly? In the converse, comment on the ethics of "ProLife" people (on abortion) who support the state right to execute, kill, convicts or prisoners.
Prolife or just something you say to feel better about yourself? People who are pro-life preferably. I am curious of how people feel about "pro-life" When you call yourself a pro-life activists, do you eat animals, do you wear fur or leather? What is your standing on women who have been raped and become pregnant or have a medical condition that could cause them to lose their life if they had to carry a baby to term? What about "un-fit" parents, why should they be allowed to have children when they will neglect/murder/abuse them in the future? What about a woman who became pregnant while on a dangerous medication which will cause birth defects or a woman who conceives a child with mental or physical deformities? Even if women carry their children to term but choose not to keep them do you feel it is best to keep them in some sort of orphanage with no guarantee of adoption (whether it would be a stable home or not)? What about the homeless and starving and diseased children (and adults) already in the world?! Do we ever consider if we were to change the laws to be pro-life our national stability (whether physically or economically) might resemble something close to that of China (with a population of over 6 million and not enough homes, jobs, etc)? So eating meat versus having an abortion isn't a contradiction at all...? This is not really a question, more of a statement. I guess I don't see how people would need to go to 3rd world countries when there are any children right hear at home that need a family... I've never heard of a shortage. In all actuality from my readings the only conclusion that I've discovered as to why children adopt from overseas is because it's easier to get the child then it is here in America.... It's not that I'm in different directions, it's more my question isn't an organized one. I'm trying to understand the meaning of pro-life... are you pro-life towards every living breathing creature or just towards human babies. And if you are just pro-life towards humans, are their circumstances that you feel would allow someone the rivilage of an abortion? Theres healthy children all over the United states needing to be adopted... But the regulations for adoption are so extensive that its hard for someone to adopt here.... People get turned away for being homosexual or over-sexually active, mental illness no matter how minor... I disagree that there is a shortage here... I'm not disagreeing with your findings on adoption, I'm just simply letting you know that from my personal experience and knowledge that adopting outside the US is MUCH easier than adopting within it. My aunt has adopted several children (of various ages, mostly between 6mths to 2years). She waited over a year for each child to be permanently placed with her, one child she adopted overseas only took her 4 months for all the paper for to go through.... The United States has many laws that keep needy children from being adopted! But they are here with and without disabilities, youg and old!
why is the pro-choice/prolife debate being drawn out so much? is it a inflamatory topic who's very existence serves a purpose? what is the ajenda behind keeping such a debate going? i think it is far more important to deal with the horrible things that children the world over are being subjected to, at this time.now. for example, all the cloths you are wearing were made by child labour, under conditions that would be illigal in your country. how is this ok ?
Prolife and antigay presidential candidates? How can a presidential candidate say, "Women, I want to restrict or take away your rights to an abortion. Homosexuals, I won't let you marry one another. Vote for me!", and actually expect to win?

would this make you prolife or prochoice? there are some people who are against abortions unless the woman is raped or is at risk of dying if they give birth, but consider themselves prolife, which i dont think they are. would that make them prochoice? if im, not mistaken, prolife people doesnt accept abortions under any circumstances, but there are many prolife who does accept abortion it if the mother is at risk of dying if they give birth. thats weird. i dont recall a prolife accepting a raped woman to get an abortion. but im prochoice myself i think that girl in high school just never understood what its like to have an unwanted pregnancy. thats so weird.lol i agree with the court :)
If you are ProLife, does being ProChoice mean you are a bad person? I really dont think or debate about abortion except when I see conservatives making such a big deal (especially on yahoo answers), so this question is directed at ProLifers: If someone is ProChoice does that make them a bad person? There are Police Officers, Firefighters, Doctors, Therapists, etc who are ProChoice and that doesn't stop them from doing good things, so seriously does being ProChoice make you a bad person? Um Brian guy, the last thing Laura Bush is is prochoice lol and yes she is a bad person..
Abortion is here to stay forever because many prolife people vote for pro-abortion candidates, agree? Some very religious people including priests and Catholic religious vote for pro-abortion politicians.. Many do not consider abortion to be a moral compass issue.. How many people have asked their Priests and Reverends what they think on this issue and if each votes for pro-abortion politicians and why.. Some vote for pro-abortion politicians because the same pro-abortion politicians vow to help the poor, improve education or some other social issue. As a result because of this voting booth reality, abortion might be permanent, here to stay.. What do you think? I struggle with this..
In the case of prolife/abortion, do you not think the mother, has the right to give life? If you make life mandatory based on sex, say people get randomly impregnated....do you not devalue life? is life not a ...gift from your parents???? if your parents are forced to have a life, is that beauty lost? freedom...yes. if everyone started to get impregnated everytime they had sex, condom or no condom...there would be a problem; Otherwise....you would have overpopulation and you would be acting irresponsibly not to lower it by performing abortion... if you don't sacrifice some life you devalue life to the point that its meaningless....in the micro level, its prob ruining someone's life....on the macro level... its acting irresponsibly and letting the standard of living go down worldwide as well as decrease the VALUE of life... this is why china made a responsible choice with the one child policy.... can you imagine the world having 11 BILLION HUMANS? yes, in reality, your glad as hell they made that decision, you just don't know it. Is it anybody's right to devalue life until it becomes meaningless? etc, etc. responsible or moral to devalue life.. if you make it so blatant...then each time you choose NOT to have sex your stopping a heart... you could have had a baby....what right do you have to NOT have sex and not have a baby that would have had a beating heart.. Its always your choice....its only when it becomes concrete that we toy with the notion that it might have something to do with life in general, when its always been about choice....and values.. the only reason we allow pro-life now, is because the world has ALLOWED for that type of attitude...if we were more populated, attitude accordingly changes...it has nothing to do with 'ideals' or morals. The natural common denominator would be abortion. We should all respect life. That's why we should find a balance. Too much life leads to disrespect of life...-- Its a spectrum...not concrete elements. not single concrete elements* I am for pro-life btw. pro-life is a subset of pro-choice.
Why would you be prolife, when there is already an overpopulation problem? When I was younger I believed abortion was not a good thing, but after all considerations, I feel it is unethical for people to be having big families now since we are ruining our planet. If you have more than two children per family (couple) then you are contributing to the use of more energy, food, and eventually waste. Why is it that religions often seem to portray having many children as a good thing, like God will reward thoes with lots of children and who produce a lot of waste? I think in the end it comes down to priorities, and we have to start thinking about the future of our planet. What are some of your opinions??
Are you Prolife? What is your reasoning? I am prolife, but I am partial on when babies are going to die within a certain amount of time or if there life will be full of pain from disease. Also if a woman is raped, I want to know your opinions and does this affect your voting choice for the next president? oh this is just my opinion...if a girl is old enough to open her legs and know that there is a possibility to get pregnant, even with the use of protection...that is NOT a reason for an abortion...just INSANITY!!!
Pro-choice vs prolife - just another religious hypocracy? Why do some people feel it is their right to meddle in other people's private life? Why must you stop someone having an abortion if she thinks she needs to do so? Why do prole christians serve in the army, bombs people, support stupid war in iraq? Why do pro-life people close their doors on the needy children/adults by opposing social security, immigration etc?
Why do the same concervatives that are prolife also prodeath penalty?When does life stop becoming precious? When I last went to the country known as Texas the conservatives were not outspoken about there support of Bush and other fundamental groups.They claim to worship god, respect his word and call themselves Christians. They are avid in there support of the prolife agenda and are rabid and proud that their state is recognized as one of the "death penalty" states. I have met my share of liberals and nonpartisons in this state but they find it best to not express their views in public. As an outsider with an open and inquizative mind I brought up the issue and its hypocracy and even asked, "As someone who claims to respect the word of Christ, isn't Christs message is to love everyone?When does life become less precious?"Now the ones who actually answered quoted the old testament which I always thought predated the word of Christ. The rest of them didn't actually answer but asked me things like"was I a commie?"or"was I one of them bleedin heart liberals?". Is there an ethical answer?
Why do some prolife people call abortion a Holocaust? I think it's offensive to call it a Holocaust because the Holocaust is a jewish word that explains that period in that faith's history. Do the people call it that have any understanding of what the Holocaust really was? Holocaust is a jewish word ment for that period time in Jewish history. Mass killings are called Genocide. Wiki it if you don't believe me, this is why the National Holocaust museum only has the genocide of jews during World War II The word comes from HaShoah
This is off a post asking about prochoice, prolife.....? I have the feeling, after only being on here for a few weeks, that whenever this topic comes up pro-choice ppl always get slammed more than pro-lifers. I think everyone has a right to feel how they wish, but why can't we support each other in our differing views? So my question is....do all pro-lifers take the God point of view? As in, it was God's decision, so the baby should be born?
Why can't I call myself a prolife Democrat? I don't see why it has to be an oxymoron to be a prolife democrat. I agree with most of the Democratic Party platform, except I don't like abortion. Democrats don't accept me because I'm prolife. Prolife people don't accept me because I'm a Democrat. Why can't I be both?
100 million orphaned children, why isn't prolife interested? Throughout history few valued life of an orphan enough to adopt. Look around you, only a few have adopted anybody. Adopting more orphans is one way of showing women you care for humanity rather than purely newborns. Women would never have abortions if she felt she and hers would be valued, safe and taken care of.
Why is prolife an impossible position? even if it was illegal to perform, a woman could still get an abortion. She could go to another country. She could take a drug. She could even cause minor trauma to her abdomen to induce early labor. And why is it that so called Christians are against abortion as "murder", yet supported Bush is a phony war that caused the murder of thousands of people? hypocrisy at its deepest.
Republican tax breaks and prolife,good or bad? I personally like the republican idea to give tax break to big corporations to create more jobs and better economy for every one and the Idea of being pro-life, but what if despite all theses tax breaks, big corporations take their businesses oversees and instead of abortion in home , see many of our soldiers and other people on this earth being killed .
Why is it the ProLife Brigade.....? Strongly fight to have sex education in schools, contraception and abortions banned but..... they are the same people who complain about the young people getting pregnant (who were never educated about sex), the welfare system helping the families with these children and same sex couples adopting the children who were unwanted Why do they choose this soapbox to stand on but also do not want the consequences that follow?
Question for fellow prolife parents? You are prolife but your daughter gets pregnant. She dosent know what to do and/or wants an abortion. Do you support this or refuse to sign for the abortion?
