re: #117 GunstarGreen

It is entirely possible to simultaneously be female and value what you perceive to be life over a woman’s right to choose what happens to her body.

One of the great gaps in the whole abortion debate is that the two sides largely disagree on what does or does not constitute ‘human life’. The actual argument basically comes down to one side (pro-life) talking about whether or not it’s legal to terminate budding human life, and the other side (pro-choice) talking about what the legal definition of human life is.

That said, there are many interesting anecdotes out there about pro-life protesters getting abortions done on the side, then going right back to protesting. Some portion of it (I am not qualified to say what size) is Teabagger-style “exceptions for me and mine of course” reasoning.

Personally I am pro-Life. I have 9 children and I have never had an abortion. But at the same time I can’t imagine telling another woman (which BTW includes my own daughters) what she should do or not do.
