Pro-choice people: Is the main reason you're pro-choice to protect the lives of girls who get preg, or to protect the world from the little hoodrats that teenage girls are likely to breed if they don't abort?

Pro-life people: If an embryo hasn't yet reached a stage of development where it has a brain, why is it wrong to oust it? I mean your brain is who you are. Is it because it has the potential to reach that stage? In that case, isn't it wrong to not try getting pregnant at every given opportunity then, because your egg and someone else's sperm had the potential to form a human?

Thank you.

Pro-choice person here: it's not about protection, it's about freedom. A foetus that is not yet conscious has no rights or identity of its own, and so the mother can put it in a blender for all I care. Not my body; not my business.

Pro-choice - I don't believe in it as a form of birth control, so only in cases of rape, where the child could contract something from the mother, or extreme cases where the child is better off not living because of the living conditions.

I'm pro-choice because I think that women have a right to choose what they do with their bodies.

No one should have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies.

Maybe I want to put a gun in my hand, lift my arm, and pull the trigger when it's pointed at your head.

Pro-Choice:  I think it depends on the circumstances.  If you are some girl in high school and you are whoring around or something then why don't you consider adoption, or something like that.  It is your fault you got preggo. If you were raped...or something along that line I think that it is acceptable.

Pro-Life:  It is not the fact that it is not a life yet. It is the fact that It would be a life and it should have the choice to be that life.  But as mentioned I suppose I am a hypocrite. I think that it is all on a circumstantial basis.

We have someone who's pro-life AND pro-choice?

And who also avoids my questions in complete....

The problem with this is that they would be making a law on the basis that everyone believes that people have souls.

Like a soul literally flies up your vag right after sex, eh?

...Actually I did. I just thought it was obvious that if it was rape it's then protecting the mother, if it was a disease it was protecting both, and if it was poor mothering it was protecting the baby.

Way to not understand my answer at all.

..and notice how everyone is just saying their opinion?

...where exactly is the choice in that?


I'm pro-choice because it's not my body, not my life, and not my child. I should have no say in the decision of what another person does with their body and their life.
