The USA should start actually being the land of the free and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and whether you want to let them do that or not. That's why you're fighting in the middle east, ultimately, it's because you want everyone to live by your rules.

The only illogicism was introduced by you Cecilie, equating being free to being free to kill. You sound like a frustrated republican NRA member.
Broke, I agree the US should just pull out of everywhere, South korea, Saudi Arabia, Irak, Afghanistan, Germany, Japan... and cut your military by 75%. Then the world would be a more peaceful place and you'd have enough money to fund universal healthcare instead of spending your money dropping bombs on people you don't know.

What is the difference between option 1 and option 4, apart from the wording?
My honest opinion is that you don't get to decide for someone else.Be honest...
How liberally are you willing to apply that argument?
Obama’s answer to a question that a woman asked about her mother’s health care is incredibly illustrative as to the bullet the elderly dodged today:
Member of the audience. Jane Sturm: “My mother is now over 105. But at 100, the doctors said to her, ‘I can’t do anything more unless you have a pacemaker.’ I said, ‘Go for it.’ She said, ‘Go for it.’ But the specialist said, ‘No, she’s too old.’ But when the other specialist saw her and saw her joy of life, he said, ‘I’m going for it.’ That was over five years ago. My question to you is: Outside the medical criteria for prolonging life for somebody who is elderly, is there any consideration that can be given for a certain spirit, a certain joy of living, a quality of life, or is it just a medical cutoff at a certain age?”
Obama: “I don’t think that we can make judgments based on people’s ’spirit.’ Uh, that would be, uh, a pretty subjective decision to be making. I think we have to have rules that, uh, say that, uh, we are going to provide good quality care for all people. End-of-life care is one of the most difficult sets of decisions that we’re going to have to make. But understand that those decisions are already being made in one way or another. If they’re not being made under Medicare and Medicaid, they’re being made by private insurers. At least we can let doctors know — and your mom know — that you know what, maybe this isn’t going to help. Maybe you’re better off, uhh, not having the surgery, but, uhh, taking the painkiller.”

I'd think that Pro Choice till conception means the morning after pill is alright but anything outside of that is wrong and anti abortion always would be against even that.

That is funny because I chose "Pro-choice til conception" and I took it to mean that you have the choice as to whether or not to bring a child into the world up until the point of conception. From that time on, the choice is made you cannot "backup and punt" so to speak.
I do not equate the "morning after pill" in that statement at all.

Good question. I guess you don't get to decide for someone else, but Obama does:

Who is the "we're", and why are they going to be making the decision and not the patient and their doctor? Now all of a sudden it's okay for the government to be making healthcare decisions for the patient. It should be interesting to hear how abortion advocates are going to try to hold both positions to keep the government out of what a woman does with her body due to the privacy she is entitled too between herself and her physician, yet try to stand behind socialized healthcare where the government is going to make your health decisions for you.
The rest of his statement is simply amazing in that he feels perfectly fine in allowing the government to tell your doctor what you're allowed and not allowed based on their criteria. At least now, even if your health insurance won't be paying for it, you still have the option to pay for it yourself whereas with Obama's health care, even that option will be taken away.
Abortion is for people who aren't limited by an intellectual straight-jacket of random morality. It's just another human, there are 6 billion+ already and we're heading for 9 billion+ by mid-century. You folks have your heads screwed on wrong, save every last person but who cares how many other species go extinct? Time to get of the human ego trip of being such superior beings. We're a real danger to all the other species out there.

That is an utterly ridiculous and unfounded comment. What the heck makes you think we don't care about other species? Life is precious to me and I believe that abortion when used as it most often is used... as birth control because someone didn't want to bother with protection, is a terrible and senseless thing. That doesn't mean I don't care about the environment too.
