[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm both prolife and prochoice.

I think people in these times find all sorts of selfish justifications for abortion- inconvenient, don't have enough time, money, energy, etc to raise a/another child, no father, too young, etc.

No excuse changes the fact that abortion is killing a human fetus/baby.

I used to believe it was often used for rape or incest.  Nope- only for less than 1% of abortions.
Health and safety of mother?  Nope, again less than 1%.
Life threatening or fatal Fetal anomalies?  again less than 1% 
I am prochoice because of these reasons (which are so few)  I can't legislate or pass judgment on such a tragic life circumstance.

But... 98% of abortions are purely choice and could be avoided.  People need to take more responsibility for birth control and better planning. Also, ADOPTION is a real alternative in America today, and there are no shortage of people who would care for an unwanted baby.  And there is no shame in carrying a life in your womb for someone else.

And it truly sickens me that abortions in America can be performed up to 24 weeks.  Almost nowhere else in the world, even progressive European countries, is that allowed.  Babies can live at 20 weeks+.
There is a HUGE difference between killing an 8 week fetus, and a 22 week fully formed BABY.

Yes, God will grant you forgiveness if you are truly repentant.  But I wish the overall attitude in America would move away from viewing abortion as a form of birth control.  It is killing- it is breaking the Sixth Commandment "Thou shalt not kill".  It is a very serious offense.[/quote]
Everyone, [b]absolutely [/b]everyone is pro-choice.  Only difference between pro-choice and pro-life is in which choices are acceptable.  But make no mistake, everyone makes a choice.[/quote]
