Being an atheist doesn't mean one can't be 'pro-life'.
So I don't understand the point of your post?
No particular point. Just thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with other open minded, skeptical, intelligent folk who appreciate free flow of ideas and approach all things with reason and logic.
Atheist CANNOT be anything. They cannot be God.
If this is in jest, ignore the following:
Depends on what you define as god. Also, autotheism.

However, a lizard with no condoms is a clown.

I personally believe abortion is wrong. I don't support it, I like other options. But, I don't think abortion should be illegal. Not at all. What we need is education and other ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy. In this way, hopefully in the future, abortion will be rare. Pro Lifers, Republicans, etc go about it all wrong. Banning abortion will not stop it. They laugh at those who want to ban guns, or increase gun control as obviously, that won't stop criminals from getting guns. It's the same thing with abortion. Making it illegal will not stop it, we need to tackle it from the core.

We have pretty good birth control methods, and if we really made a concentrated effort to teach everyone about them and make them easily accessible, abortion would be very rare. Unfortunately, the real motive of the anti-choice pitbulls is to control women and girls, so we won't be doing the right thing any time soon.
And you are the type of person who deserves the label pro-life (instead of anti-choice), because you aren't foisting your personal beliefs on others, and you genuinely care about the health and well-being of women.

However, a lizard with no condoms is a clown. Touche, sir. I recognize when I am defeated in debate. I do notice, however, that you did not specify the type of lizard, which leaves room for me to insert a creator, as well as to suspect your unwavering support for unhatched lizard rights.
This must be what it feels like to be Grace, except with a better vocabulary.

I have no problem with your position....even though I think there are situations where abortion should be fucking mandatory.

I feel I should point out that being pro-life does not necessarily mean one is a misogynist. You can certainly be both, but you can also be one or the other (or neither).
I would describe myself as pro-life. I don't hate women at all though.
The whole "you can't control what I do with my vagina" argument is a bit silly though. It's like "you can't control what I do with my hands". Well, if you use them to strangle someone, then yes, society can. Context is important.

Secondly, your "using your hands to strangle someone" thing is a false analogy. A slightly better analogy would be "using your hands to kill a wasp."
