The two aren't mutually exclusive. Everyone is pro life. We just draw different lines in the sand with regard to exactly what life is and when it starts.
Those who define it as DNA must be exclusively pro life no matter what. Those who define it as a thinking, feeling being or as a viable organism draw it somewhere else.
Nobody here is condoning ending a human life. They just don't think a small bundle of cells IS human life.
Well it's still a though question to decide when we can consider an unborn child a human, this is why I can't take a position. I'll be pro choice, then, sounds more reasonable. I think all pro lifers will agree with me that any women should be able to abort in case of rape, life endangering or malformation of the fetus, these are cases that even anti abortion legislation allow frequently since they are the exception and not the norm. However if a woman should be able to abort by her own will out of irresponsibility that's a though question. I think however this kind of abortion should be a last resource, with the amount of information there is, everybody knows the necessity of using contraceptives, yes they are not 100% effective, but that's what we call the risk theory, everything has risks, if you are ready to have sex, you should look out for a possible pregnancy.
