Are you pro-life?

( 1 Vote ) Pro-life, it’s hard to go anywhere in these days without someone asking you if you are pro-life. That’s alright, but do they even know what it means to be “pro-life”? I’ll help them out. Pro-life literally means to be against all death that occurs by one human being killing another. This idea has been being applied to abortion, which is fine, since those people have the right to exercise freedom of speech. The problem lies with the fact that the large majority of these same “pro-life” people are also in support of the war with Iraq. This violates the ideals of the pro-life movement. Therefore these people are not pro-life; they are merely anti-abortion or anti-choice, you choose which name you want.

To be truly pro-life, one must be opposed to all killing, of any nationality, for any reason. This of course means supporting wars is out of the question, since it is somewhat difficult to have a war where there is no killing. As of August there were 1,033,000 deaths directly caused by the war in Iraq. That’s a lot of people whose hopes and dreams have come to an abrupt end unnecessarily. Those who say they are pro-life, but think the above number is alright are hypocrites, nothing more.

Now I realize this will lead to direct attacks on my character, my life, and my website, so I’ll tell you enough about me that you won’t have to make things up. I am pro-choice, I do not support the war in Iraq, but I believe the lives of everyone fighting on both sides should be preserved, I do not personally like abortion, nor do I think that it’s right, but I am opposed to making abortion illegal. I feel that no one has the right to impose their religious views on another person. I do not expect the false pro-life people to see that I’m correct in my assessment, and I do expect attacks on the matter. However, truly being pro-life is an honorable standpoint, and I am saddened to see the term “pro-life” stolen for such a dishonorable attempt to force religious views on other people.

If you would like to be civil about discussing this and other issues, I invite you to visit webbeyond.neocrisis.com. If you proof yourself civil enough, I may even invite you to become a writer for the web beyond news, regardless of your viewpoint. I invite anyone to copy this article and put it on their websites, as long as this paragraph is kept intact and part of this article.
