DISQUS

NO!

its a much bigger issue than this - pro-life is so much bigger than doing away with abortion... pro-life means a basic respect for humanity at ALL stages of life, including children without health care, people losing their houses and jobs, women making less than their male counterparts for the same work, hearing loss that could be prevented with simple antibiotics and basic health care for all - not to mention the intentional taking of life in the name of justice that we call the death penalty - which costs way more than simple life imprisonment... all of that to say either an always yes or an always no answer is overly-simplistic and lacks nuance of any kind.

fwiw, abortion is a medical procedure - there are times when it is, regretfully, necessary... times when the choice really is between losing one life or losing two... and there are times when children are victimized that to continue a pregnancy would cause further victimization... its really not a simple issue - that's what i liked about Obama's answer to the question on the debate - he demonstrated an understanding of the complexities involved...

i am pro-life - i am NOT anti-abortion... the two are not synonymous

thought that was the point of facebook status updates:-)
