Subject: I didn't take the same level of offense, but maybe I can help answer the question.
In reply to: Jeannine 's message, "Why is it highly offensive?" on 09:26:52 08/25/08 Mon

I'm not pro-abortion, but I am pro-choice. I do not advocate abortion; I am not "FOR" abortion; and I wish people would make more responsible choices about having sex.

That said, I do advocate choice; I do support legalized abortion; and I do recognize that not every pregnancy should be carried to term.

And in my opinion, this is far more of a pro-life perspective than most "pro-life" people maintain. I value choice because I respect life.

(As a side note, here in Colorado we have utterly reprehensible license plates that say "Respect Life" and a portion of the proceeds of sales go to anti-abortion groups. I strongly resent the implication that because I am pro-choice, I do not respect life. It is exactly the opposite. Because I respect life so much, I am pro-choice.)

Honestly I had not thought of it like that but I guess it is possible to be pro-choice and pro-life.

I think I am with a large group, however, who feel that abortion should be legal but should be viewed as a last resort, not a convenient quick fix.

And I am still appalled by late term/partial birth abortions on any viable baby.

known who made that choice absolutely did NOT do it frivolously.
