Reply #125: I have been pro-life for many years.

I agree with you. Pro-life means pro-life in all areas. Pro-life should mean that you are also against the death penalty and against any and all wars. I also think, though, that if you are going to be truly pro-life, you ought to do things to make abortion less prevalent--such as educating people who are most likely to need to resort to abortion, about birth control methods. And, when a child is conceived in circumstances that are not optional for it's birth, pro-life means providing those optional circumstances, such as housing, food, medical, and educational opportunities for the parent. You can't be pro-life and be against those services meant to assist poor people in times of need. The life of a child is important both before it comes out of the womb and after. If you expect a woman not to resort to abortion, you need to also support her after her child is born.
