Having the belief that you should be able to kill a human being (speaking from a genetic standpoint the baby/fetus is human) doesn't make it morally right to do so. If I believe that I should be able to kill another adult, it doesn't make it right, but under that reasoning it should be ok.

That's really not what I was trying to say. I meant that just because some people believe babies should have the right to live despite what the mother wants/needs that doesn't mean that people who don't believe that should be forced to not have an abortion. Does that make more sense? I don't think I explained clearly the first time.

So you are actually pro-choice then, since you do believe that at times it is ok to have an abortion? People who are Pro-life disagree with abortion full stop. You are either pro-life or you aren't.
