3. Pro-choice IS pro-life
The opposite is anti-choice, and is therefore, anti-life.

10. I think everyone is anti-abortion
In the sense that everyone is anti-unwanted, unsafe and/or unviable pregnancy. Being anti-abortion is like being anti-chemotherapy- no one thinks having chemo is a good idea, but most folks are grateful that it exists as an option.

5. yeah! start an invitation only forum
plus another one on anti- same sex marriage (excuse me, "pro moral value").

Inviting people on a liberal board to not participate is kind of . . . republican doncha think?

13. Oh please, It was a simple roll call thread
Not a big secret club where you can't go.

There is no substance to debate or talk about in the post.

Just a simple hand raise "here"

9. So I assume
that no one who is in favor of the death penalty or the war in iraq would be welcome. And only people who are for national healthcare, since a lot of people die due to shoddy healthcare and inability to afford prescriptions.

I also assume only vegetarians are welcome?

I mean, assuming this is a pro-life group and not an anti-abortion group.

17. Pro-life is right wing spin.
All of us are pro-life. I happen to be of the mind that a woman has a right to make a choice about her medical care. That makes me pro-life and pro-choice.

Let's stop the mind games.

18. With all due respect,
so far it seems that the multitudes of anti-choice folks on this board are electing to stay in the closet.

19. maybe it would be better if you did it as a poll
but you need to word it better. Do any of us accept that pro-life is the opposite of pro-choice? Does it count if you are pro-choice but hope that most people choose to have the babies, or wish that they were preventing pregnancies rather than terminating them? There are more than two answers.

20.  IMO, what needs to happen is the pro choice and pro life people
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 05:03 PM by Verve
need to come together to try to decrease abortions. Yes, if you talk to most pro choice individuals, they hate abortions just as much as pro life individuals. The disagreement comes on how to handle abortions. Pro choicers do not think making abortions illegal is the answer. Pro lifers do. That is it folks. We all have the same want, less abortions. We need to cast aside the extremists (on both sides) and work together to decrease abortions!

22. A Big Thank You, There is a stereotype and unfortunely it is
slathered all over us "normal" people.

I don't even wanna discuss it with a stereotype of a pro-lifer.

I really think we need a new label.

23. Oh, and all pro-life who have adopted
children please check in. If you're anti-abortion, what have you done for rape victims who have become impregnated? For molestation victims who have become impregnated? For 14 and 15 yr. olds who are pregnant? Or women with dangerous pregnancies?
What are you doing for all the children whose parents didn't want them? Are you volunteering your time? Raising money for their educations?
Please check in.
