I don't care for the terminology "pro life." For we all are. It has only become synonymous with conservative Christians as a way of swaying votes during elections.
I'm pro life but I also believe that abortion should remain legal. I believe that we as a society can do a much better job in equipping both men and women with proper tools and education so that abortion doesn't need to feel like an only option, like it often turns out to be. I've had friends who have had abortions, and they still mentally torment themselves over their decisions to abort.
I can't tell someone else what to do in such a situation, but I consider myself pro life on many levels. I'm also against the death penalty for similar reasons.
