If you choose pro-life, is that based on a personal decision or on a religious influence?
Why i ask this is because if it is based on a religious influence, do you favor the use of violence (killing doctors, blowing up clinics) in order to sway society to become pro-life. Because to me, it's ironic. How can one justify killing a doctor, or severly hurting others, in order to protect "pro-life." Taking away the life of one for the life of another is not pro-life, that's pro-violence if you ask me.
There is also a site I came across, I'll try to find it, headed by a pro-life organization. On one of the pages it has pictures of many doctors that perform abortions. For every doctor that has died or has been killed, there is a huge red x through the picture, and on the bottom of the page there is some crazy message like, "23443880 more doctors to go" or something like that. Anyone else ever come across that site, if it hasn't been shut down?

They had a special on Dateline (I believe) about this sort of thing a few weeks ago. I was sickened that they were going after abortion doctors. I mean they think it's wrong for women to have an abortion but they think it's okay to kill someone for practicing what was legal in that state?!?!? DEFINATLEY HIPOCRITICAL!
My whole stance on this issue has changed in the past 2 years. I used to be full-fledged PRO-CHOICE and my reasons were that I believed that if a women was harmed in anyway and was carrying a baby that was unwanted (by means of molestation or rape) she should have the choice to keep it or not. My reasoning was that often women who are raped want to move on with their lives, and although the baby could be given a good life through adoption, the child might try to find the mother later on in life. Plus the whole part of ridicule that a woman could face during the 9 months is more than any woman who has been raped should deal with.
I am PRO-LIFE now because I know for one I might not be around were it not for a simple choice my mom made 22 years ago. My mother and father were engaged when they concieved me, and they could have easily said we don't need this and had an abortion. Instead they had me. That's part of the reason why I changed my mind on the issue. I think too many young women AND men see abortion as an escape from their responsibilities. If you're not ready to be a mommy or daddy then don't have sex...plain and simple.
Perhaps what it comes down to isn't the choice...but the act. I think it's gross and disgusting. I don't think that I could ever put my body through that. I'd rather be disowned from my family for being an unwed pregnant mother (which would never happen) than have an abortion.
Choices come fast, but abortions last forever. You can't take it back. I'm just thankful I've never had to deal with this problem!
