[Fictional]

I'm pro-life. And before you ask (because it always gets asked in threads like these) I am also anti-military, anti-death penalty, anti- gun ownership, and I've been vegetarian from birth.

thebigmole, (apologies if it was someone else) was it you who said "Oh so you are pro-choice." in response to someone saying they don't wish to make something illegal? That's like saying that because one doesn't campaign to make eating meat illegal, one must eat meat oneself. Or like saying because one doesn't campaign to make islam illegal, one must be a muslim. That's a pretty big step.

I'm pro-life, but I'm not going to go around shoving that down people's throats or campaigning to make abortion illegal. I don't think it makes me feel any less strongly that abortion is the taking away of a baby's life that
I don't stand on street corners handing out propaganda fliers or picketing clinics and that I appreciate that there are circumstances when other women feel that abortion is an ok step to take.


EDIT:: Converse, you said "accidental children [having] to live with knowledge of them being "bastards"[.]" I really don't see what the problem with having unmarried parents is. I'm a "bastard" but I've been raised very well by loving parents in a family with a stable income that puts me thoroughly into the middle classes. So being a "bastard" isn't quite the negative thing that you're making it out to be.
