Do 'pro-life' Christians ever . . .

Let's not forget the best part of it - many tend to be against increasing access to contraceptives (not just the morning after drugs, but all contraceptives), even though they drastically reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, and thus abortions. Oh, and abstinence education doesn't work, either.

"You shouldn't be having sex" isn't a practical, or even desirable, approach to the problem.

I think you'll find pro-lifers are generally full of shit.

We all are. But they wear it inside out.

Pro-life… pro-life… These people aren’t pro-life, they’re killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they’ll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it?They’re not pro-life. You know what they are? They’re anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don’t like them. They don’t like women.They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.

Do you feel that a fetus is life or is it just some mass of tissue growing inside of a woman's body?  Is it a separate being or tissue mass that is separate from the woman's body or part of her body?  If someone is trying to preserve this living being, then they are pro-life in that regard.  As far as concern for the mother, there are many of places that house and care for pregnant mothers that are funded and run by pro-life people.  They also help find good parents to adopt any unwanted children.  Where would you get the idea that pro-life people don't care for the mothers and children?  The mothers in the US also can receive welfare benefits, withe medical costs covered, even when they come from wealthy families.  Most abortions are not because the mother can't afford the child anyway, but rather just for convenience - just a form of birth control.

Well, fetal murder is a thing. Not sure I've heard of fetal rape, though.

Pretty sure Alice would be down with that, though I hesitate to speak for she whose name must not be mentioned.

Oh god, oh god, oh god .. what have I done?!

[Whateverist]

Do you feel that a fetus is life or is it just some mass of tissue growing inside of a woman's body? 

I think that is for every woman to decide for herself. It probably means different things to different people but the person whose body is the host should have final say.

[Minimalist]

Yep, after you birth em they are no longer their (pro-lifers) problem. The after birth issues magically disappear.

The abolitionists in the 1850's were the same way.  Slave liberation was their goal.  They had no plan for "the next day."  In fairness, the southerners were right to resent that.

[Ravenshire]

just a form of birth control.

Do you really believe this Lek? In a world where a few bucks buys a variety of contraceptives, women are opting for an expensive medical treatment instead?!? Seriously?

Pro-life = Wanting to control other people's decisions
