Where's these: pro abortion anti abortion pro death [/quote] because those are not legitimate standpoints, except for anti abortion which is synonmous with pro life. Anybody who is "pro abortion" or "pro death" is A. not worth debating with anyway. B. Represents such an insignificant portion of the population.

Kosh Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 explain to me the difference between pro-abortion and pro-choice. Lots of people are for abortion b/c of "population pressure". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro choice means putting a woman's right to choose, over one's personal feelings of abortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farsight one Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Anti Abortion - those against abortion Pro Life - those for life, meaning against abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia, etc. Pro Choice - those that believe that the decision should be up to the mother. Pro Abortion - those that believe that abortion should be a requirement - often for the purpose of population control (like China) Pro Death - A pro abortion person who also believes that when people get old enough, they lose their usefulness, and should be euthanized. They also tend to encourage the death penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcabibi Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 I need an athiest message board that supports polling so I can clearly distinguish the coorelation between religion and the pro-life standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
track2004 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 From what I've read they are fairly heavily correlated, but not to the point where Athiests are Pro-Choice and Religious are Pro-Life, just that the religious tend to be more pro-life.

But when we're talking about institutions that clearly teach the value of life, and standpoints where people QUOTE teachings from this institution... then you have causation, and the coorelation simply solidifies it.

XIX Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Even if the Constitution says that women have a right to abortion (and it doesn't), I really don't care. Protecting life is more important that protecting the Constitution, especially if the Constitution supports abortion. Good thing it doesn't.
