I am pro life but I still think women should have the right to abort their baby.
I'm against the way pro choice propaganda lies to women by telling them their baby is not a life.
The government tells us what to eat smoke to wear seatbelts helmets taxes things it believes are bad for us, extorts money from us in anyway they can, It lies to us, says we have freedom of speech yet punishes us for anything we say that they don't like.
Using abortion as an example of government control is ridiculous.
They control us all over the place.
This is a good post, my point on the first page of this thread is that it's a matter of whether or not you think government should be able to take this choice away from someone. Has nothing to do with morals, one person in favor of killing, or one person valuing life more etc etc.
It's 2 simple questions having nothing to do with morality.
1.) Do you view 1st trimester pregnancies as babies or fetuses?
2.) Should a woman have a choice in whether she can have an abortion or not?
If you're pro-life I'm not going to accuse you of "hating liberty" or "being anti-woman." Just the same as those who are pro-choice aren't "baby killing" or "pro abortion."
Take the emotion and religious aspects out of it and think of it purely from an intellectual standpoint. Then you've found what you think the law should be, and either conclusion can be made by rational/moral adults (pro choice or pro life).
On a side note I'm against government forced seatbelt wearing, helmets, most taxes. In other words one instance of government controlling something doesn't make it right or that it should be ok in another issue.
