If no pro-life people are forced to terminate their pregnancies, what is the big deal?

Question by Jeff S loves you: If no pro-life people are forced to terminate their pregnancies, what is the big deal?
Do you pro-life people just need something to complain about? or is “life” no longer one of the two options in pro-choice?

Best answer:

Answer by Sophia
They believe strongly in it, so they want to prevent it from happening.

It’s like people being against the death penalty. They’re not dying, or maybe even family members aren’t, but still, there’s many people who believe strongly that it’s wrong.

    No, I’m just against killing babies.

  3. tucker says:

    The babies are helpless….they need people on their side.

  4. Jack's says:

    They need live babies to make dead soldiers

  6. Naomi says:

    When are pro-lifers forced to commit murder?

    I do not understand your question.

  7. lilcoombsy says:

    Its murder if you enjoy killing babies that’s your own thing but get out of america we don’t want you here also if a girl gets pregnant and its her own fault she needs to deal with the consequences of her actions

    you sound like a man – I mean like a clueless man

  9. C.G. says:

    I wonder this all the time. I always say “If you’re not pro-choice that’s fine, don’t get an abortion but it doesn’t mean other women shouldn’t be able to get one”

    But they think that nobody should be allowed to. It’s their way or the highway.

    Oh and let’s not forget how many “pro-lifers” are also pro-death penalty. How much sense does that make?

  10. Rod B says:

    Dude, don’t you know? They want to “save” us all.

  11. cppegirl says:

    The need to control every one and save them from them selves is to strong .

  12. I like children says:

    I do not fret when I spill my seed on the pants of my lover. Life comes and goes, is the life of a baby more important than the life of any cell?
    Does that the fact that children are often unwanted parasites sway your thought?

  13. Chad says:

    If no pedophiles are not forced to have sex with children then why do they care about pedophiles having sex with children?

    They view it as murder. They believe murder is wrong.

    You probably view pedophilia as wrong. So you would I am guessing fight for it to not be legal.

  14. Leeroy says:

    your a big dumb bitch

  15. kl says:

    Honey, if it’s killing a person, does it matter whether you believe it’s right or wrong? Just because I don’t believe murder is wrong doesn’t mean it’s not.

  16. BRrrr Why Am I Soo Cold??? says:

    Duse, its about what takes place during an abortion. Are you even aware of what takes place? Its not about whether or not I like what you eat or wear, its about not liking these horrid experiences these babies endure..

    Choose your contraception if you want a choice

  17. Helper says:

    Jeff,
    I agree with you but you have to understand that most pro life people (I am not one of them, as the term is coined) believe that God will judge us if we kill innocent life and they believe life begins at conceptionl, so it does hurt them, they believe, because people are being murdered all around them.
    I know,what can you say? YOu will never change their minds and pro choice does have both options, good observations.
    Dont expect thumbs up from everyone but this answers the question throroughly.

    To the retards that say “babies”… an early foetus is not sentient, indeed it has a million times less sentience than a fly… and yet I bet you people kill flies.

    Also people who are pro-life and eat meat are the worst hypocrites on earth… as they indirectly kill other beings that are far more sentient than a foetus (in the agreed safe term) and yet you eat them.

    Please get some logic in your lives!

    I’m a vegetarian who is for abortion.

  19. Jacob says:

    the big deal is that the option to terminate a pregnancy is destroying people’s accountability. People refuse to take responsibility for their actions, and the choice to have sex is a huge action with huge responsibilities.
    What is destroying this nation is the fact that “responsibility” is now only someone else’s word – the majority of people would do some really terrible stuff if they knew there would be no consequences. People refuse to do the right thing (or at least avoid the right thing) for the reason that it’s the right thing to do. They are always looking for a reward (or avoidance of punishment).

    Plus, I think people who say things like what you said are just trolls.

  20. Rushevents says:

    I still wonder how many Thomas Edisons, Maya Angelous, George Washington Carvers, Joan Baez’s and Sylvia Plath’s we have denied ourselves of because they were aborted.

    I think it is an honest question.

    EDIT – Lilith – Pro life does a HUGE amount of work in the area of prevention – the only problem is that no one wants to listen to the only way to prevent a baby is to not have sex. No we would rather tell a teen that it feels too good to resist and that they should protect themselves.

    By the way – how’s that working out anyway?

  21. shay says:

    I always wonder this too. They tell people that it’s wrong to get an abortion but when you have the baby and can’t afford to take care of it they tell you’re wrong for being on govt assistance and that they aren’t responsible for your child. But they want to force you to have it.

  22. lilith says:

    If they were really anti-abortion, they’d do more to curb unwanted pregnancies from happening in the 1st place.

    Edit:
    There’s an old saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

  23. danieladamwillis says:

    the prolife concept is the value of all human life. The idea that merely because it is not your life or the life of your child being taken that it is less offensive to that ideal would be ignorant of its meaning. For those who hold prolife beliefs not to speak out against euthenasia and abortion in general and just worry about their own would be hypocritical and extremely perverse.

  24. Squeaky says:

    How many answers will you get that say the babies have no choice… they didnt ask to be created… its murder…

    and how many of those self proclaimed pro-lifers are adopting the thousands upon thousands of unwanted children we already have in this country? or refuse to allow people like me, a lesbian in a lesbian relationship, to adopt an unwanted child?

    They want a clear conscience…

  25. rachel&scotty says:

    I’m pro-choice, and for good reason.

    Among other things, they are against the killing of innocent babies. However, I think they value the unborn over the living. They cared about my rights twenty years ago when I was a fetus, but now they want to take them away. It’s strange that they’re so against abortion for this reason, but once the baby comes out, they stop caring! They say adoption is a better choice because so many people want to adopt children. But the thing is, there are still so many children in foster homes and adoption agencies! We want fewer children in there, not more.

    Another deal they have is that the child has the potential to be something great. However, the child also has the potential to be the next Stalin or the next Hitler. Their argument for this is really shaky because they don’t recognize both sides.

    I have never had an abortion and have never been pregnant. I don’t think I could bring myself to have an abortion “just because,” but that’s me, not everyone else. What other women do with their lives and their bodies doesn’t affect me, so I’m not going to judge. I wouldn’t want them to judge me in return.

    Lastly, what people don’t understand is that wanting an abortion is not like wanting an ice cream cone or wanting a new dress. It’s like an animal wanting to gnaw off its leg because it’s caught in a trap.

    Just my two cents. (Or should I say, “sense”?)

    EDIT: Marker, this is the problem with pro-lifers. They are under the impression that pro-choice means pro-abortion. However, we support what we say we do: CHOICE! We support the idea that women have this freedom. If a girl wants an abortion, that’s fine, but if she doesn’t, that’s fine too. The issue here isn’t whether it should live or not. It’s the issue of whether women should have a choice or not.

  26. Snow Globe says:

    You’re still approaching this problem as if it is the woman who is the center of the issue. Pro-life people defend the life of the child. It doesn’t matter if it’s my child or that of some other person. Somewhere, a child is dying and I should be concerned. I should be outraged, and I’m embarrassed that I’m not.

  27. Rei says:

    people who claim women who get pregnant are not accepting responsibility for what happened are insane. Many women who have abortions, it is the worst thing that has ever happened to them and they don’t want to do it, but they feel they have to. It’s a very hard decision and many women suffer grief for the rest of their lives. I would say that is a severe consequence of their actions that they accept and deal with every day of their lives.

  28. maker says:

    Are you talking of live birth abortions, like the current President condones or are you talking about the ripping of a unborn fetus with working functioning body parts? Personally, I was once the possibility (or under consideration to be aborted) my being here to answer you question in the first place is a miracle. Is there no consideration for the human life anymore. In this regard we want to kill the innocent and then manipulate the fetus through genetic alterations or stem-cell research in the hopes to harvest body parts.

    For me to say yes to abortion or to tolerate is to wish for my own death…..

  30. irishlass says:

    We are all on this earth and are given the right to practice free will, some ar pro-life, some pro-choice, we are not to judge anyone and the decision they make it is between them and God.

    Although the Bible does not mention the word abortion, there is a scripture that states ” If two men are fighting and a pregnant woman is walking by and that woman gets hurt and her unborn baby should die then the two fighting ment are to be put to death”

    This shows how God felt about unborn children, he was protecting them while they were in the womb.

    Although I mention this, I do believe in free will and no one has the right to take away any womans choice, it is hers to make.

  31. AdoreHim says:

    Let me ask you a question? I don’t know you, but I am sure that you feel strongly about something, even if someone else does not. Would you keep your mouth shut, or would you continue to stand up for what you believe? I would hope you would take a stand, because if you didn’t you could fall for anything. The people that are pro-choice, are loud with their beliefs. People who agree with gay marriage want their say, and they will do anything to get their equal rights. So why is it so hard to understand that we who are pro life- would want to defend the most innocent one, the baby in the womb, no matter the womb that they are in?

  32. mr danger says:

    What really turn pro-lifers on is the fact that they can get away with talking the superior morality talk without being required to do the superior morality walk
    If I was a pro-lifer I would have to be a cradle to grave socialist so that the life that I saved from certain mortal extinction would be guaranteed to have a good life after it was born
    Apparently the contract that pro-lifers signed with their god stipulates that the pro-lifers moral obligation to the life of that fetus ends upon a successful live birth of that fetus .

  33. ♥absent♥ ♥farmer♥ "♥Abby♥& says:

    Okay

    I am pro life (anti-abortion) and all for the death penalty.(Yeah, I see the dichotomy)

    Of course my 12 year old has never been pregnant-
    There are always extenuating circumstances.
    And since it is legal in this country to have an abortion, my personal feelings are just that, personal. I will share them with you and the reasons for them, but how can i condemn you for having a different opinion than my own???

  34. Carol M says:

    Dear Jeff,
    I’m surprised you could ask this question. If life is sacred and it is protected in all other ways, both legally and morally, why then is it “optional” to end the life of a human baby in it’s mother’s womb?
    Pro-choice adherents say that life has not begun until birth.
    That argument doesn’t hold water. The baby is a baby and it is a living human being from the moment of conception. If you murdered someone on the street you would be arrested and sentenced to spend your own life in jail, or you would be sentenced to death.
    In addition, with all the many methods of birth control available today, it is careless and irresponsible to say the least, to become pregnant if you do not want, or are not ready to have a child. Abortion is not, nor should it be accepted as, birth control. The responsibility remains on the individual. This is a serious choice and deserves serious moral consideration.

  35. Tectonic French Toast (w/syrup) says:

    Yeah, they preach SOOOO loudly about free will, but apparently they don’t really want people to have it.

  36. ozbluei says:

    Well here their taxes (yes the various churches and religions are taxed) help to pay for abortion which is available free and on demand to any woman who wants it.

  37. Jay says:

    Abortion is nothing less then murder plain and simple. As for pro-lifers not being being force to terminate their pregnancies, well in essence we are supporting due to our wonderful govt deciding that a good portion of our tax dollars are going to fund not only abortion clinic’s here, but also in other countries. It’s sick and a really horrible misapplication of resources that could be used here at home. I know one thing for sure, if God doesn’t punish this country soon, he will owe an apology to Sodom and Gomorrah.

  38. sparki777 says:

    The big deal is that I think the baby in some other woman’s womb deserves the same basic right to life as the baby in my own womb. I’m not prejudiced enough to say that another woman’s baby is somehow “less” than mine and can be eliminated at his/her mother’s request, just ‘cuz.

    If any woman truly cannot raise the child in her womb, I would be happy to help be that child’s parent or find a fitting home for that child.

  39. Priapus says:

    that others use their free-will to do so seems to be the case for many
