I am Pro-Life
I am pro-life.
I think capital punishment is wrong.
I think war is wrong.
Being pro-life, I think that every person regardless of where he or she is born and regardless of the circumstances of their birth have the right to food, shelter and the best medical care available.
By the best medical care available, I do not mean an over-burdened underfunded clinic in a third world country. I mean that each individual has the right to the same medical care regardless of where they live or their life’s circumstances.
I also believe that each person has a right to the best education.
I support all policies and programs that further this agenda.
And oh yes, I pledge to never have an abortion.
I do not believe that life begins before a child leaves the womb and breathes. There is no scientific evidence that life begins at conception or any other stage up until birth.
There is also no biblical basis for life beginning before birth.
Abortion is a choice that must be made by those who are faced with that decision based on their particular circumstances. I can, if asked, give my opinion, but I have no right to demand only my views be the law.
“I can, if asked, give my opinion, but I have no right to demand only my views be the law.”
Seems reasonable enough to me as well my friend.We all have our very own distinct and varied views on things,and I’ll not expect you to see exactly as I do in everything,save that you will do the same for me.

Being male, I feel that I’m unable to fully understand or form a reliable opinion on the issue of abortion. So I steer clear of the subject as often as possible. I’m totally clueless on the subject, and I openly admit my high level of ignorance and lack of knowledge concerning abortion.
But on the other hand, I am pro life in the same ways that you have stated here. Life doesn’t become a non-issue or irrelevant to morality once birth takes place.
This world has enough resources and opportunities to go around. Some folks may argue that others have not suffered enough in their lives or believed the correct ideologies required to deserve access to quality education, health care, food, or shelter.
It’s sad to see so much greed and malice in the world being used as an excuse to ignore the suffering of so many.
I personally think there is more to the issue of pro-life than abortion.
Outstanding, its a shame that others that hold your primary view aren’t as reasonable.

This is beautiful stuff John. I have no objection whatsoever to what you have said
I agree with the things you have listed as “rights”, and would add a few. Such as the right to be raised by someone who loves them, and has the time to nurture them. The right to be welcomed into the world, and considered a joy rather than a burden. The right to be raised by intelligent, emotionally healthy, caregivers.
Ah, and wouldn’t that be a beautiful world now?
Hear hear! Well said.
I agree with you 90%
I think abortion ceases to be okay once the biomass has achieved recognizable thought readings within the womb. By then its too late to abort and stupid procrastinators who wanted to abort should have done it already and better think about adoption then, as they’re too lazy to be parents. 😉
Then as far as capital punishment goes, I am only against it because I don’t like the idea of state sanctioned murder. Too often its carried out upon the innocent ‘in error’. That being said, those that confess and are proud of their 18 homicides and 2 dozen rapes, they need killing and fast. For example I have no moral pangs at all about those sentenced at Nuremburg being hung until they were dead.
Cheers,

Well stated. Only just, I really would like to outlaw war. 😉
So, umm, I can go with all of that but the capital punishment. I do believe some, and it is very few, can commit heinous enough crimes that I do not believe they have the right to breathe anymore. Shallow? possibly! Some people cannot be rehabilitated. However, if I can swap vigilante justice for a man sick enough to rape and beat a four year old child myself..we’re good.
I agree completely with this blog. I too am pro-life AND pro-choice.
We do not know what we will ever do unless in a specific situation.
I’ll admit abortion makes me uncomfortable. It could be a thousand reasons that that is how I feel.
It’s irrelevant.
What it comes down to is, it is not my place to tell anyone what they can or can’t, should or shouldn’t do regarding this issue. Never ever ever is it my place. And it sure as hell isn’t the governments’.
