Why I Am Pro-Life

[bladevalant546]

For record I am not pro-life or pro-abortion. I am just for rationality and reason. It is only logical to find a better solution and that is sex education and better contraceptives. Abortion is a good issue to get votes that what it is used for. I was rather frustrated with other things so I just felt like ranting. But seriously lets be honest here.

Miminalist I know about that and that is what changed my stance from strict prolife. I think a living being has prioity...i have no idea where you get that idea. I cannot seem to find in my post I stated abortion was wrong or I was against it.....

Access to safe abortion is a different topic from contraceptives and sex education. It's a women's right issue, women need to be able to get an abortion if they so choose. Even if we perfect contraceptives (which is not happening anytime soon), unwanted pregnancy still happens, and when it does, abortion clinics need to be there. Sometimes it's even planned pregnancies, but the fetus has conditions the parents aren't equipped to deal with, they should be able to choose to abort if they so wish.

I may be short-sighted, but abortion as a medical intervention is here to stay.

I think Minimalist said that because you said abortion is destructive. I don't understand that either, why is it destructive?

I think it is fair to explain my logic. Sorry I been rather short on patience in regards to bullshit. I meant by that it is destroying a potential person. While under rape and incest it is pretty easy shut and close case. Just like killing in war, I feel like there should be better ways. We are not sadly in a perfect world. I think abortion should stay and it is good. As I stated, I live in Louisiana and abortion clinics are few and far between and most insurance will not cover it. I apologize Deistpaladin, minimalist and to you also for making a rather lame example of myself. It is kind of below my standard to let emotions rule my reason. I understand first hand the scare it has to myself, not to mention my girlfriend of unexpected pregnancies. Thank you for being reasonable.
