What's your definition of "pro-life"?

I'm pro-choice up to about 28 weeks. I know if I had a preemie born before 28 weeks I would be very cautious to what interventions I consented. So many parents seem to take great pride in the torture they allowed doctors to inflict on their children.

Trick question as the opposite of "prolife" could be anti-life, which I am NOT.

I abhor abortion as much as I do neglecting unwanted children, that fact any child could be unwanted (why not prevent pregancy? we have the means), or of inviting strangers into such a private situation and decision as an unplanned pregnancy.

Sister Joan Chittister, a nun in the Catholic church has this to say: "I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is." [popsugar.com]

As a man, I cannot and will not make a decision about a woman's right to choose. It is her choice. Roe v. Wade is settled law. I don't understand why people keep fighting against it.

I'm pro quality of life.

Since apparently there is not a definition forthcoming from the poster, I'll tell you my definition. I think if you are going to be 'pro-life' you must not ONLY support the unborn fetus. You MUST support care for both potential child and mother during the pregnancy, you must support appropriate medical care after birth for both mother and child, you must make sure that all humans are fed and housed and offered opportunities to access education and health-care for life, you must treat everyone wounded in body, mind and spirit in wartime, and you must provide care for the elderly. Now, as far as I'm concerned, if you only are opposed to abortion, you are NOT pro-life, you are just anti-abortion.

I am very much pro-choice. Anti-abortion activism forgets a number of important things, not the least of which is that considering life to begin as soon as the sperm enters the egg makes nature the biggest abortionist, since a notable percentage of fertilized eggs do not implant.
Another problem I have is that the fetus is inside the woman as a parasite, and that creates health burdens and risks that are generally ignored by anti-abortion folks.
Finally, abortions will happen. If you care about life, making such procedures safe is better than ending up with senseless deaths from botched procedures.

Not pro life. Think its not human until quickening. Not sure the aborted ones are not the lucky ones.

When ever somebody asks me that question, I always respond that I am pro-contraception.

It's kind of pathetic that both sides are so caught up in battling each other over whether abortion should be legal or not that we STILL don't have contraceptive methods which are 100% safe and effective 100% of the time.

Define "pro life" please

Still waiting on that definition.

It's a meaningless term - there simply isn't any such thing. And if you're referring to abortion - I think there should be more.

Pro-life. What is that, exactly? Until we understand what you are asking, we cannot be expected to have any answers. Please, spell out specifically what you mean by 'pro-life'.

Many people that I know that identify themselves as "pro-life" are just pro birth. Once the child is born, the parents and the child on on their own. Even if puts the parents in a life of poverty, hardships and sometimes it hampers their future education.

I will hazard a guess: All.
rephrase your question

I’m pro choice, and not my choice.

I'm pro-choice, pro-education, pro-prevention, pro-respect and pro-consent.

It's a conundrum. I am pro-life only in the sense that I believe each life is valuable. I do not believe that government gets to make choices for me.

Pro-life is a deliberately deceptive term, using to mask the fact that the user of term is simply anti-termination of a pregnancy for ANY reason. You will find that most of the members of this site are not "true belieers" in ANY ideological dogma..

In my opinion, it shouldn't be a public issue. The choice one way or the other is a private and personal one. It's not my business nor my place to judge. As far as I am concerned it is a religious and political play for control and it needs to stop.

I think, like most people, I view abortion as a last resort, when giving birth will cause immense suffering for all involved. In the past, when abortion was outlawed, it led to risky procedures that often resulted in great harm or death. I don’t believe the state has any business telling people what they’re allowed to with their own body. Obviously, we just don’t do enough for sex education, birth control, and new mother support — actions that would reduce the need for abortions — but the stupids seem to prefer pretending that’s not the problem. So it goes.

hopefully none

Completely pro-choice, that so far demonstrated to be the kind of attitude that kept abortion at the lowest rate. All that happens to make the abortion illegal is that the number of women in a butcher’ hands to abort grows.
